Since the trailblazing discoveries of Lehn, Cram and Pedersen, supramolecular chemistry
has established itself as a cornerstone of organic chemistry. Supramolecular hosts offer …

Molecular recognition in water using macrocyclic synthetic receptors constitutes a vibrant
and timely research area of supramolecular chemistry. Pioneering examples on the topic …

The adoption of a supramolecular approach in catalysis promises to address a number of
unmet challenges, ranging from activity (unlocking of novel reaction pathways) to selectivity …

Nanospaces are ubiquitous in the realm of biological systems and are of significant interest
among supramolecular chemists. Understanding chemical behavior within nanospaces …

A widely used class of synthetic receptors are resorcin [4] arene-based cavitands. A
collection of the most representative studies in this field is reported here, from organic …

Predictability is a key requirement to encompass late‐stage C− H functionalization in
synthetic routes. However, prediction (and control) of reaction selectivity is usually …

We review here the use of container molecules known as cavitands for performing organic
reactions in water. Central to these endeavors are binding forces found in water, and among …

Photochemical methods are increasingly being used in organic synthesis. They are
especially useful for preparing many compounds that are not readily accessible through …

Binding of non-activated alkyl halides (2–20) in water-soluble cavitand (1) through
supramolecular forces is here reported, with emphasis on the role of size and polarizability …

We report binding studies of an octa‐pyridinium super aryl‐extended calix [4] pyrrole
receptor with neutral difunctional aliphatic guests in water. The guests have terminal …
