allows catalytic epoxidation of various substrates in 1:1 water/acetonitrile mixtures. The cage acts as a phase-transfer catalyst and creates a protective environment for the catalyst improving the stability. The encapsulated catalyst also allows discrimination between styrenederivatives of various sizes. In a direct competition experiment, the selectivity of the epoxidationreaction could be inverted
