Water co-encapsulation in an inverted molecular capsule.
Comparison of water-free and water-mediated recognition processes within a synthetic resorcinarene-based self-assembled capsule shows that water can change the stoichiometry of binding as well as the selectivity and it can substantially restrict guest dynamics within the binding site.
