The synthesis of cationic mono-(6-O-(1-vinylimidazolium))-ss-cyclodextrin with toluenesulfonate as the corresponding anion is described. Free-radical copolymerization of the resulting hostguest complex with N-isopropylacrylamide or N,N-diethylacrylamide yielded copolymers showing a temperature-controlled solubility window in water. The impact of different anionic guests and salt concentrations on solubility behavior was investigated via turbidity measurements.
