title: Metal ligation regulates conformational equilibria and binding properties of cavitands.
abstract: A self-folding cavitand binds quinuclidinium cation in its vase conformation and lanthanum ions in its kite conformation. Metal coordination provides a novel switching mechanism for the uptake and release of guests.
