Our kinetic model of the system, with rate constants k C and k T for the uptake of cis -FAB and trans -FAB, respectively, by aqueous cage 1 from an organic phase; k −C and k −T , the corresponding release rate constants for cis -FAB and trans -FAB, respectively, from 1 ; k i CT(I) and k i TC(I) for the isomerization in arm I from cis - to trans -FAB, and trans - to cis -FAB, respectively; and k i CT(II) and k i TC(II) for the isomerization in arm II from cis - to trans -FAB, and trans - to cis -FAB, respectively. Data in d are presented as mean values ± measurement errors, derived from error propagation of the standard deviation and the signal-to-noise ratio ( n = 22) of coronene (Supplementary Section 5 ). aq, aqueous.
