Abstract

Reversible control over the state of host–guest encapsulation complexes is a topic of current interest, and at least as many different methods are conceivable as there are unique hosts.[1– 5] The task is to trigger the exchange of guests by an “external” signal after the initial assembly is generated. The use of light to accomplish this exchange has appeal, because no additional components are introduced into the system and application of the signal is ...
