What makes a good cavity? A molecular cavity enabled the stabilization of a selenenyl iodide (RSeI) intermediate formed in 5′‐deiodination of a thyroxine derivative by an organoselenol (see scheme). The chemical processes proposed for the iodothyronine deiodinase catalytic cycle were experimentally established.
