Abstract: | Cleavage of one of the four bridging units in the two new types of hemicarceplexes presented here is sufficient to effect immediate guest release into the chloroform solvent (shown schematically on the right). The thermal stability and photoactivity of these hemicarceplexes indicate that incarceration is potentially useful for the controlled delivery of drugs. |
