RESUMEN
Molecular encapsulation of C60 inside a hydrogen-bond-sealed semi-flexible peptidic capsule is hindered in solution, yet it proceeds effectively after mechanical milling of a solid sample. We show that the molecular mechanism involves the generation of non-covalently disordered forms that are active in guest uptake. We also show that the solvent-free mechanochemical covalent synthesis of capsules directly results in obtaining disordered, active forms.

RESUMEN
A cubic nanocage (O symmetry) that exhibits inherent chirality and has a covalent, rigid skeleton with molecule-sized entrance portals was obtained by means of dynamic covalent chemistry using a reaction between aldehyde-functionalized resorcin[4]arene and hydrazine.
