Interior design: A chiral supramolecular tetrahedral [Ga4L6]12− host (L=bis(bidentate) ligand) is shown to encapsulate a half-sandwich iridium complex. This host–guest assembly reacts with aldehydes through CH bond activation, which occurs within the host interior. This activation occurs with high size and shape specificity as well as modest diastereoselectivity (d.r. 55:45–70:30) owing to the well-defined shape of the host cavity.
