Abstract

The molecular inclusion chemistry of cavitands provides a useful way for the removal of organic pollutants from water. A wide range of lipophilic organic compounds, present at trace level in water, are efficiently extracted by cavitand1, which can be easily reactivated and reused.

Key words
