title: Solvent denaturation of supramolecular capsules assembled via the hydrophobic effect.
abstract: The organic co-solvent induced denaturation of a series of capsular complexes formed between trioxolane guests and a water-soluble deep-cavity cavitand was examined. The results obtained demonstrate a wide range of denaturation properties, and suggest the important factors governing capsule stability.
