Xenon binding by a tight yet adaptive chiral soft capsule

Xenon binding carries potential for xenon separation and emerging applications in magnetic resonance imaging. Here, the authors report a rare example of a tight yet soft capsule, assembled from two chiral bisurea-bisthiourea macrocycle components, that can efficiently and adaptively bind xenon in bo...
