Molecular containers in complex chemical systems

Chem Soc Rev. 2015 Jan 21;44(2):419-32. doi: 10.1039/c4cs00165f.

Abstract

Over the last decade molecular containers have been increasingly studied within the context of complex chemical systems. Herein we discuss selected examples from the literature concerning three aspects of this field: complex host-guest behaviour, adaptive transformations of molecular containers and reactivity modulation within them.
