In general terms, an isolated redox-active guest will undergo substantial attenuation of electrochemical kinetics, reflected on the reduced current response at potentials at which oxidation or reduction would happen. In this poster, we will present a series of guests (ferrocene-derivatives, tetrathiafuvalene and benzoquinone-derivatives) encapsulated inside a molecular capsule formed by two deep-cavity cavitands and discuss how the electrochemistry of the guests is affected in each case.
