The use of small molecules with defined cavities that catalyze unique chemical transformations to emulate enzyme sites have resulted in sustainable catalytic transformation with unprecedented selectivity that proceed under ambient conditions using benign solvents and clean energy. Of these reported host molecules, Werner-type capsules have been of particular interest to researchers because of their structural modifiability and rich chemical properties arising from their uniform cavities. In this review, we focus on the catalytic properties of several important catalytic transformations that have occurred within the confined pockets of these Werner-type capsules with special attention to the aspects that are derived from the ‘confined space effect’ of these Werner-type capsules.

具有确定空腔的小分子的使用可催化独特的化学转化来模拟酶位点，从而导致了可持续的催化转化，具有前所未有的选择性，可在环境条件下使用良性溶剂和清洁能源进行。在这些已报告的宿主分子中，Werner型胶囊因其结构可修饰性和均一的空腔而产生的丰富化学性质，引起了研究人员的特别兴趣。在这篇综述中，我们关注于这些Werner型胶囊的密闭囊腔内发生的一些重要催化转化的催化特性，并特别关注源自这些Werner型胶囊的“有限空间效应”的方面。 。
