The cage effect in chemistry describes how properties of a molecule are affected by its surroundings.
- In a solvent a molecule is often more accurately described existing in a cage of solvent molecules, the so-called solvent cage.
- In a gas at low pressure a normally highly reactive and short lived molecule can be contained.
- specific host-guest interactions occur in inclusion compounds
