Supramolecular chemistry of cyclodextrins:
- structural aspects and ability of cyclodextrins to form inclusion complexes with different types of organic compounds,
- physico-chemical methods used to characterize their inclusion complexes,
- applications of cyclodextrins and their supramolecular assemblies.
Among physico-chemical methods, EPR method can provide information about the structure and interactions in cyclodextrins complexes.
Synthesis of spin labelled cyclodextrins, spin labelled non-ionic surfactants which can be used as reporters for supramolecular assemblies.
Protein denaturation: thermal denaturation and refolding of proteins using the changes of their chromatographic and electrophoretic properties, their reactivity, interactions with various spin probes.
Mesoporous materials: synthesis and adsorption properties (for organic molecules, metal nanoparticles).
