title: De novo endo-functionalized organic cages as cooperative multi-hydrogen-bond-donating catalysts.
abstract: Two endo-functionalized organic cages as oxyanion hole mimics were achieved via dynamic covalent chemistry, which exhibit good size selectivity, catalytic activity and broad substrate scopes for Friedel-Crafts reactions. The modular character of the synthesis provides an easy way to modify the size, shape and inner function of the molecular cavity.
