Abstract
The confinement of substrates inside the cavity of self-assembled capsules makes it possible to effectively catalyze organic reactions in a way that is analogous to how enzymes work in biological systems. Due to steric constraints, solvent exclusion, intermediates stabilization, and conformational control of substrates, chemical reactions taking place in a confined space may exhibit unique processes. As a result, the fundamental rules of organic reactivity are frequently broken. The hexameric capsule CR, an intriguing supramolecular assembly formed by six resorcinarene 1 macrocycles and eight water molecules, is the subject of this review. This assembly has proven to be effective at catalyzing several chemical reactions by controlling reactivity and selectivity in its confined space.
期刊介绍：
Current Opinion in Colloid and Interface Science (COCIS) is an international journal that focuses on the molecular and nanoscopic aspects of colloidal systems and interfaces in various scientific and technological fields. These include materials science, biologically-relevant systems, energy and environmental technologies, and industrial applications.
Unlike primary journals, COCIS primarily serves as a guide for researchers, helping them navigate through the vast landscape of recently published literature. It critically analyzes the state of the art, identifies bottlenecks and unsolved issues, and proposes future developments.
Moreover, COCIS emphasizes certain areas and papers that are considered particularly interesting and significant by the Editors and Section Editors. Its goal is to provide valuable insights and updates to the research community in these specialized areas.
