Inside information : The new enantiopure cage molecule ΔΔΔΔ‐Fe 4 L 6 (and its enantiomer, ΛΛΛΛ‐Fe 4 L 6 ) was prepared by subcomponent self‐assembly. It binds a range of organic guests ( A , see scheme) in its cavity and distinguishes between the enantiomers of a chiral organic guest. Host ΔΔΔΔ‐Fe 4 L 6 is also a catalyst for the hydrolysis (giving B and C ) of the neurotoxic organophosphate dichlorvos.
