Abstract
The characterization of cyclodextrin(CD) systems by electrochemical methods, mainly by cyclic voltammetry, is discussed. The addition of CD to the electrolyte solution causes a decrease in the peak current and also a shift in the apparent half-wave potential in cyclic voltammetry. Quantitative analysis in the both phenomena affords the formation constants of CD complexes. The formation or dissociation rate constants can be evaluated from the cyclic voltammetric data at high scan rates. Adsorption of CD on the electrode surface is also mentioned.

The diagnostic criterion of the reversibility of electron transfer is usually provided by the following dimensionless parameter, ψ, assuming the diffusion coefficients of the oxidized and reduced species are equal;\(\psi = k_s \left( {\frac{{RT}}{{nFD_f v}}} \right)^{1/2}\) where v is the scan rate. If ψ>20 the electron transfer is considered to be reversible and thus the process is controlled by diffusion.

The apparent half-wave potential is determined by the mean value of the anodic and cathodic peak potentials in a cyclic voltammogram. The half-wave potential is correlated with the formal potential as\(E^{1/2} = E^\circ + \frac{{RT}}{{nF}}ln\left( {\frac{{D_R }}{{D_0 }}} \right)^{1/2}\) In many cases, including the present case, the molecular sizes of the reduced and oxidized species are, in general, equal, resulting in E1/2≃E0
