Popis: This article aims to review the application of various quantum chemical methods (semi-empirical, density functional theory (DFT), second order Møller–Plesset perturbation theory (MP2)) in the studies of cyclodextrin host–guest complexes. The details of applied approaches such as functionals, basis sets, dispersion corrections or solvent treatment methods are analyzed, pointing to the best possible options for such theoretical studies. Apart from reviewing the ways that the computations are usually performed, the reasons for such studies are presented and discussed. The successful applications of theoretical calculations are not limited to the determination of stable conformations but also include the prediction of thermodynamic properties as well as UV–Vis, IR, and NMR spectra. It has been shown that quantum chemical calculations, when applied to the studies of CD complexes, can provide results unobtainable by any other methods, both experimental and computational.
