title: Supramolecular photocatalysis: insights into cucurbit[8]uril catalyzed photodimerization of 6-methylcoumarin.
abstract: Guest induced shape change of the cucurbit[8]uril cavity is likely rate limiting in the supramolecular photocatalytic cycle for CB8 mediated photodimerization of 6-methylcoumarin.
