Hydrogels are polymer networks infiltrated with water. Many biological hydrogels in animal
bodies such as muscles, heart valves, cartilages, and tendons possess extreme mechanical …

Due to their unique structural, physical and chemical properties, cyclodextrins and their
derivatives have been of great interest to scientists and researchers in both academia and …

Following up on scattered reports on interactions of conventional chaotropic ions (for
example, I−, SCN−, ClO4−) with macrocyclic host molecules, biomolecules, and …

Abstract β-CD is a cyclic oligosaccharide, which has trunked cone like structure. The unique
structure makes it efficient for numerous applications. Though, the native β-CD has many …

The cyclodextrin (CD) based host–guest inclusion complexation between cyclodextrins
(CDs) and guest moieties has inspired the fabrication of novel supramolecular hydrogels for …

Dodecaborate anions of the type B12X122− and B12X11Y2−(X= H, Cl, Br, I and Y= OH, SH,
NH3+, NR3+) form strong (Ka up to 106 L mol− 1, for B12Br122−) inclusion complexes with …

Host–guest inclusion complexes of β-cyclodextrin with two vitamins viz., nicotinic acid and
ascorbic acid in aqueous medium have been explored by reliable spectroscopic …

Rapid, reliable, and unbiased detection and quantification of important analytes have drawn
rising attention because of the dire need to understand the environmental and the …

The term “diamondoid” describes cage hydrocarbon molecules that are superimposable on
the diamond lattice. Diamondoids that are formally built by face-fusing of adamantane units …

Large water-soluble anions with chaotropic character display surprisingly strong
supramolecular interactions in water, for example, with macrocyclic receptors, polymers …
