| What | The molecular mechanism of blue color formation in an iodine–starch reaction : employing the iodine−α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) complex *that I5– acts as a basic unit of coloration in the visible region. | 
| Why | (the well-known observation that the color of the iodine–starch reaction becomes bluish with an increase in the chain length of amylose.) | 
| How | Method ・The quantum chemistry method ・The X-ray crystallography study ・The time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) ・The preresonance Raman spectra calculated etc. |
