Abstract

Summary: β‐Cyclodextrin (β‐CD) pseudopolyrotaxanes containing poly(thiophene‐2,5‐diyl), PTh, or poly(3‐methylthiophene‐2,5‐diyl)s, P3MeThs, as an axle were prepared. Structures of the pseudopolyrotaxanes and their inclusion behavior with β‐CD were investigated. The UV‐vis measurements revealed that inclusion of P3MeThs by β‐CD depended on the flexibility of the main chain and their molecular weight.

Formation of the inclusion complex of β‐CD and PTh.
