Abstract

Lipophilic peroctylated α-, β- and γ-cyclodextrins exhibit good selectivity and cation discrimination in the binding of NH 4+, NMe4+ and NEt4 + ions respectively; sensors based on peroctyl β-CD show excellent sensitivity and selectivity for NMe4+ over metal cations, and may be used for the selective detection of acetyl choline and cationic surfactants.
