title: Azaphosphatrane organocatalysts in confined space: cage effect in CO(2) conversion.
abstract: The endohedral functionalization of a molecular cage by an azaphosphatrane unit has allowed for the creation of highly engineered catalytic cavities for efficient conversion of CO2 into cyclic carbonates. Strong structure/activity/stability correlations have been demonstrated by careful adjustment of the size, shape, and electronic properties of the hemicryptophane host.
