  - Confining molecules can fundamentally change their chemical and physical properties.
    Confinement effects are considered instrumental at various stages of the origins
    of life, and life continues to rely on layers of compartmentalization to maintain
    an out-of-equilibrium state and efficiently synthesize complex biomolecules under
    mild conditions. As interest in synthetic confined systems grows, we are realizing
    that the principles governing reactivity under confinement are the same in abiological
    systems as they are in nature. In this Review, we categorize the ways in which
    nanoconfinement effects impact chemical reactivity in synthetic systems. Under
    nanoconfinement, chemical properties can be modulated to increase reaction rates,
    enhance selectivity and stabilize reactive species. Confinement effects also lead
    to changes in physical properties. The fluorescence of light emitters, the colours
    of dyes and electronic communication between electroactive species can all be
    tuned under confinement. Within each of these categories, we elucidate design
    principles and strategies that are widely applicable across a range of confined
    systems, specifically highlighting examples of different nanocompartments that
    influence reactivity in similar ways.@eng
