Abstract
Summary: We have successfully constructed a redox‐responsible hydrogel system by combination of β‐cyclodextrin (β‐CD), dodecyl‐modified poly(acrylic acid) [p(AA/C~12~)], and a redox‐responsive guest, ferrocenecarboxylic acid (FCA). In the reduced state of FCA, the ternary mixture exhibited a gel‐like behavior, whereas, in its oxidized state, the mixture exhibited a sol behavior.

In order to examine the molecular recognition effect of a three-dimensional hydrophobic cavity, seven β-cyclodextrin derivatives (1-7) bearing hydrophobic substituents on the primary side, and three structurally related calixarene derivatives (8-10) were synthesized and used as coating materials for
