Abstract

Previously we reported that CDs form inclusion compounds with aliphatic polyesters, such as poly(ε-CL) (ε-CL; ε-caprolactone) 7a,b and poly(ethyleneadipate). 7c We also found that these polyesters could be easily hydrolyzed into their monomeric state in their inclusion compounds with CDs in water. Later, other researchers reported that some other polyesters are included in CDs. 8,9 Moreover, we found and reported that CDs selectively form inclusion ...
