Abstract
A very large number of useful comprehensive reviews of cyclodextrin chemistry have been published over the last 25 years. This is because they are the popular family of molecular hosts for the inclusion of small organic guest molecules. The inclusion of guest molecules into CD has many useful applications, and that is the main reason for the widespread interest In using them as molecular hosts. This chapter describes in detail the effects that inclusion into CD can have on guest fluorescence. A representative survey of the effects of cyclodextrin on guest fluorescence is discussed in the chapter. The focus is on the particular polarity sensitive fluorescent guests, which have been studied in this research. The effect of CD on guest fluorescent spectra is also discussed using the steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy. The experimental data and the results are explained with illustrations. Fluorescent spectroscopy is an excellent experimental technique for the study of CD host–guest inclusion. The various guests described in this chapter demonstrate the range of effects and behaviour that can be observed using fluorescence. Further, the chapter also lists the resources related to this topic.
