“…The internal cavity exhibits hydrophobic properties, which enable complexation of a variety of guest molecules including both organic and inorganic species. The character of the guest compound can vary significantly, from polar compounds including alcohols (Caira, Griffith, & Nassimbeni, 1996), amines (Knoll, Bobek, Giester, & Brinker, 2001) and inorganic (Spencer, He, Wu, & Fetter, 1998) and organic (Hbaieb, Kalfat, Chevalier, Amdouni, & Parrot-Lopez, 2008) anions to apolar ones (for example many hydrocarbons; Neoh, Koecher, Reineccius, Furuta, & Yoshii, 2010). This particular property has been widely used in pharmaceutical (Arun, Ashok, & Sravanthi, 2008) and food (Astray, GonzalezBarreiro, Mejuto, Rial-Otero, & Simal-Gandara, 2009) applications.…”
