This book is the first volume of two volumes on cyclodextrins published in the series Environmental Chemistry for a Sustainable World. The use of thermal analyses for assessing cyclodextrin inclusion complexes is reviewed in chapter 4 by Daniel Hadaruga et al.

This book is the second volume of two volumes on cyclodextrins published in the series Environmental Chemistry for a Sustainable World. Hiroshi Ikeda demonstrates in chapter 5 that chromophore-appended cyclodextrins are effective for chemosensors to detect organic molecules by fluorescence or absorbance changes.
