      abstract = {This fundamental book presents the most comprehensive  summary of the current state of the art in the chemistry of  cage compounds. It introduces different ways of how ions  and molecules can be encapsulated by three-dimensional  caging ligands to form molecular and polymeric species:  covalent, supramolecular, and coordination capsules. The  authors introduce their classification, reactivity, and  selected practical applications. Because encapsulation can  isolate caged ions and molecules from external factors, the  encapsulated species can exhibit unique physical and  chemical properties. The resulting specific reactivity and  selectivity can open up a range of applications, including  chemical separation, recognition, chiral separation,  catalysis, applications as sensors or probes, as molecular  or supramolecular devices, or molecular carriers (cargo). A  particularly strong emphasis in this book is on the summary  and review of the synthesis of various types of cage  compounds. Readers will find over 850 literature references  summarized and clearly represented in over 600 schemes and  illustrations. The book is structured by the types of  caging ligands (covalent, supramolecular, or coordination  capsules). The authors further arranged the chapters by  ligand classes and types of encapsulated species (neutral  molecules, anions, or cations). Readers will hence find an  exhaustive reference resource and summary of the current  state of research into encapsulated species, nowadays  almost a separated realm of modern chemistry.},
