-N'-(mono-6-desoxy-6-beta-cyclodextrinyl)-thiourea 2 was synthesized f
rom mono-6-amino-6-desoxy-beta-CD 1 and fluorescein isothiocyanate. Th
e fluorescent CD derivative 2 was threaded on a water soluble polymer,
mhexamethylene-N',N'-dimethylammoniumdecamethylene dibromide) 3. The
existence of the molecular necklace was visualized by gel electrophore
sis.
