• • Encapsulation-induced stabilization of hydrogen-bonded heterocapsules achieves remarkable stability, as reported in Chem Eur J, 2013, 19: 3685–3692; this addresses the inherent dynamic lability of hydrogen bonds, enabling guest retention under ambient conditions for potential drug delivery and sensing applications.
• • Guest rotation within self-assembled heterocapsules, demonstrated via Proc Natl Acad Sci USA, 2009, 106: 10444–10448, reveals rotational dynamics with correlation times on the nanosecond scale, critical for designing supramolecular gyroscopes and molecular machines with controlled motion.
• • Mechanochemical encapsulation of fullerenes in peptidic containers via dynamic chiral self-sorting (Chem Eur J, 2016, 22: 3148–3152) achieves solvent-free inclusion with high selectivity, offering a scalable route for fullerene purification and functional materials without organic solvents.
• • Hybrid hydrogen-bonded/metal-ligand coordination capsules enable dual control of guest exchange dynamics, with hemicapsular intermediates identified (Chem – An Asian J, 2014, 9: 1076–1082), providing a tunable platform for stimuli-responsive release and catalysis with precise kinetic regulation.
