This tutorial review aims to present and describe selected examples of still quite rare endo-functionalized supramolecular capsules. Only capsules assembled through the use of neutral or polar hydrogen bonding interactions are covered. The ability of these capsules to orient and control the position of the encapsulated guest molecules represents their stand-out feature. Thus, the way in which guests interact with the functionalized interior of the capsules is discussed in detail. Several of the described capsular assemblies display chiral architectures. The manner in which chirality is manifested in these assemblies is far from trivial. For this reason, we also offer explanations of the chiral features expressed by the relevant capsules and their encapsulation complexes.
本教程综述旨在介绍和描述一些相对罕见的内官能化超分子胶囊的实例。本文仅涵盖通过使用中性或极性氢键相互作用组装的胶囊。这些胶囊能够定向和控制被包封客体分子的位置，这是它们的突出特点。因此，详细讨论了客体与胶囊功能化内部的相互作用方式。所描述的几个胶囊组装体具有手性结构。这些组装体中手性的表现方式远非微不足道。因此，我们还解释了相关胶囊及其包封配合物所表达的手性特征。
