This fundamental book presents the most comprehensive summary of
the current state of the art in the chemistry of cage compounds.
It introduces different ways of how ions and molecules can be
encapsulated by three-dimensional caging ligands to form
molecular and polymeric species: covalent, supramolecular, and
coordination capsules. The authors introduce their
classification, reactivity, and selected practical applications.
Because encapsulation can isolate caged ions and molecules from
external factors, the encapsulated species can exhibit unique
physical and chemical properties. The resulting specific
reactivity and selectivity can open up a range of applications,
including chemical separation, recognition, chiral separation,
catalysis, applications as sensors or probes, as molecular or
supramolecular devices, or molecular carriers (cargo).

A particularly strong emphasis in this book is on the summary and
review of the synthesis of various types of cage compounds.
Readers will find over 850 literature references summarized and
clearly represented in over 600 schemes and illustrations. The
book is structured by the types of caging ligands (covalent,
supramolecular, or coordination capsules). The authors further
arranged the chapters by ligand classes and types of encapsulated
species (neutral molecules, anions, or cations). Readers will
hence find an exhaustive reference resource and summary of the
current state of research into encapsulated species, nowadays
almost a separated realm of modern chemistry.
