Supramolecular catalytic systems based on calixarenes and cyclodextrins

A number of supramolecular metal complex catalitic system based on cyclodextrins and calixarenes have been developed. Particular attention has been given to design of new metal complexes with molecular recognition abilities. Data on application catalytic systems based on receptor molecules capable to formation of inclusion host-guest complexes in hydroformylation and Wacker-oxidation are given. Influence of different factors on activity, stability, selectivity of metal complex supramolecular catalytic systems is discussed.
