Two kinds of cyclodextrin/peptide (CD/peptide) hybrids bearing ZnII‐cyclen or cyclen, dansyl and β‐cyclodextrin (β‐CD) units have been synthesized as chemosensors for organic anionic molecules. ZnII‐cyclen serves as a ligand site and β‐CD is a receptor site for guest molecules, while the dansyl unit acts as a fluorescent probe. Examination of the fluorescence behaviors of these CD/peptides suggest that the hybrid containing Zn2+ has larger binding constants with respect to anionic molecules than that without Zn2+.
