Abstract: The encapsulation of aggressive reagents in organic crystals facilitates their handling while their reactivity is restored upon release in a suitable solvent. In their Communication on page 13706 ff., C. Richert et al. show that noxious reagents, such as benzoyl chloride, PCl3, and cyclohexyl isocyanide, can be encapsulated in tetrakis(dimethoxyphenyl)adamantane crystals. The cover picture depicts a forest, through which hazardous reagents may now be transported more safely, as well as the release of benzoyl chloride from the inclusion complex upon demand.
