Non‐conventional coordination chemistry occurs upon encapsulation of metal fragments in the cavity of a β‐cyclodextrin‐derived diphosphane ( WIDEPHOS ). It was found possible to form otherwise unstable metal species and slow down coordination processes, allowing the elucidation of novel mechanistic pathways for carboncarbon bond‐forming reactions.
