The encapsulation of aggressive reagents in organic crystals facilitates their handling while their reactivity is restored upon release in a suitable solvent. In their Communication on page 13706 ff., C. Richert et al. show that noxious reagents, such as benzoyl chloride, PCl 3 , and cyclohexyl isocyanide, can be encapsulated in tetrakis(dimethoxyphenyl)adamantane crystals. The cover picture depicts a forest, through which hazardous reagents may now be transported more safely, as well as the release of benzoyl chloride from the inclusion complex upon demand.
