Self-assembled capsules are hosts that recognize and surround smaller molecule guests of appropriate size, shape, and chemical surfaces. The space available inside is a cage of fixed solvent molecules, many of which are aromatic. These aromatics provide anisotropic shielding to guests, and a map of induced magnetic shielding for the inner space can be obtained through nucleus-independent chemical shift calculations. Experimental values of the magnetic environment can be determined by NMR spectra ...[more]
