The precise control of selectivity is one of the most challenging issues in transition‐metal catalysis. As reported in their Communication on page 396 ff. , J. N. H. Reek and co‐workers have applied a supramolecular design strategy to preorganize alkene substrates for selective rhodium‐catalyzed hydroformylation reactions. A catalyst equipped with an anion‐binding pocket interacts with alkenes that contain anionic functionalities to exert high control over the regioselectivity of the transformation.
