Supramolecular control of reactivity and catalysis is among the most important functions in supramolecular chemistry. Since catalysis arises from a differential binding between transition and reactant states, a supramolecular catalyst is, in essence, chemical machinery in which a fraction of the available binding energy arising from noncovalent interactions is utilized for specific stabilization of the transition state or, in other words, is transformed into catalysis.
