title: An air-supported liquid crystal system for real-time reporting of host-guest inclusion events.
abstract: A new method for reporting host-guest inclusion phenomena using an air-supported liquid crystal (LC) system based on cyclodextrins (CDs) was developed. In this work inclusion complexation of β-CD with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) or with methylene blue (MB) using SDS as the probe was visualized using the LC, according to the principle that the orientation of LCs was coupled to the organization of SDS molecules.
