It's a wrap! The inclusion of [Rh(nbd) 2 ]BF 4 (nbd=norbornadiene) in a deep‐cavity cavitand produces a catalytically active species that promotes the hydrogenation of norbornadiene to norbornene (see picture). The structure of the cavitand acts as a second‐sphere ligand and modifies the stability, selectivity, and reactivity observed for the free organometallic complex in solution.
