Abstract

Unusual chemical and photochemical reactivity (or, in contrast, incredible stability) of encapsulated species and the unexpected products of such reactions within the confined cavities of molecular capsules have been observed in many cases. This can be explained by steric restrictions due to relative rigidity of covalent and coordination capsules, by isolation of these guests from external factors such as solvent effects, and by relatively strong supramolecular host–guest interactions.
