Recent results from the group on the topic of nano-containers assembled by the hydrophobic effect will be discussed. In particular, the presentation will focus on the complexation and packing of flexible guest molecules within the inner nano-spaces of these containers. The presentation will also discuss work towards understanding reactions within these yocto-liter (10<sup>-24</sup> L) volumes, to determine the rich interplay between the structure of the capsule and the guest, and the resulting reactivity of the latter.
