ResearchMolecular cage seizes control in tetradehydro Diels–Alder reaction
Elegant method dodges harsh reaction conditions to assemble polycyclic scaffolds from simple linear precursors
-
ResearchGiant molecular cage protects plastic-eating enzyme
Caged protein withstands temperatures much hotter than its usual melting point and becomes 1000 times more resistant to solvents
-
ResearchReaction confined between copper nanopyramids transforms carbon dioxide into ethylene glycol
Copper arrangement promotes C–C coupling and lowers formation barrier for a key intermediate
-
ResearchSupramolecular cage unlocks mild aldehyde reduction strategy
Computational analysis reveals how encapsulation stabilises protonated oxocarbenium ion of furfural, which makes the carbonyl moiety easier to reduce
-
ResearchThe hole story of how cage molecules could transform synthesis and separation
Chemists are getting to grips with how to put molecules inside other molecules and how this could protect highly reactive reagents and create enzyme-like catalysts
