Over the last few years, there has been a breakthrough in the design and synthesis of nanoscale molecular containers—cavitands, (hemi)carcerands, and capsules. These nanocavities are designed for selective binding, separation and sensing of smaller molecules and ions, molecular transport and delivery, stabilization of reactive intermediates, and catalysis through encapsulation. They also mimic the hydrophobic pockets of enzymes. The field has grown since the first hollow calixarenes of Collet, Cram, and Gutsche, which were able to trap a single solvent or gas molecule, in the early 1980s, to investigations of giant cavities of 15–20 A inner dimensions and 1500 A3 internal volume. This reflects current trends in molecular recognition which are rapidly moving towards nanotechnology and microfabrication on the one hand and molecular biology on the other. Recently prepared nanocavities are ready to be employed for encapsulation of drugs and their active transport/delivery through cell membranes. Cavity-contai...
