Inclusion complexes of α-, β-CD with methyl orange (MO) have been investigated by Uv-visible spectroscopy, and inclusion reactions of α-CD with MO have also been studied in aqueous solutions by means of stopped-flow method. The inclusion process of α-CD with MO follows one-step reaction mechanism, and fits pseudo-first-order reaction model. There is a linelar relationship between α-CD concentration and the observed rate data (k_(obs)), and thus the forward and backward rate constants are determined.
