Two inclusion complexes, i.e., C 60 ‐hydroxypropyl‐(β‐cyclodextrin) and C 60 ‐[hydroxypropyl‐(β‐cyclodextrin)] 2 , have been prepared by kneading and characterized by UV‐vis and IR spectroscopy as well as by cyclic voltammetry (CV). Electrochemical behavior of these films has been studied by cyclic voltammetry. The CVs of films of both complexes are similar in a mixed solvent solution of water and acetonitrile (1:1, v/v) containing tetrabutylammonium perchlorate as supporting electrolyte. These CVs are characterized by one unresolved two‐electron electroreduction peak and two one‐electron electrooxidation peaks and are quite different from those for a pristine C 60 film.
