Communication: Ring‐like structures composed of different numbers of glucose molecules, the cyclodextrins, in which the central cavity (see Figure) can be varied in diameter from 4.7–8.5 Å have been shown to act as specific host materials for a number of halogenated hydrocarbons. The effect, and potential applications as solvent sensors based on quartz‐microbalence‐ and surface‐accoustic‐wave oscillator devices are discussed.
