Traditional methods for selectivity control in homogeneous transition metal catalysis either employ steric effects in a binding pocket or chelate control. In a supramolecular strategy, encapsulation of the substrate can provide useful shape and size selectivity. A fully developed molecular recognition strategy involving hydrogen bonding or solvophobic forces has given almost completely regioselective functionalization of remote, unactivated C–H bonds.

Abstract from Catalysts & Catalysed Reactions 2008

A review, with 78 references, of biomimetic strategies to provide high selectivity in homogeneous transition metal catalysis by encapsulation of the substrate. The focus is on a fully developed strategy for functionalisation of remote and unactivated C–H bonds.
