• . Keywords: cyclodextrin; defined structure; precise synthesis; rotaxanes; stimuli-responsive material; Introduction Stimuli-responsive materials can satisfy the existing high demands on such materials owing to their multiple functionalities (e.g., for effective energy storage or as decomposables under mild

• -CD synthesis is conducted by tosylation and a successive functional group transformation, and this tosylation often results in around 10% yield owing to the above reason. Because the mono-substituted α-CD is also useful in other stimuli-responsive material production [86], it’s easier synthesis was
