✦ Synopsis


Encapsulated catalysts are discussed in the Concept article by J. N. H. Reek and A. W. Kleij on p. 4218 ff. The authors show how template ligands can be used to form assemblies in which transition‐metal catalysts are encapsulated. These novel supramolecular catalysts are not only aesthetically attractive but show improved activity and selectivities compared with their non‐encapsulated analogues.
