TL;DR: The observations suggest that the organic solid state can be integrated into more mainstream settings of synthetic organic chemistry and be developed to construct functional crystalline solids.

TL;DR: In this article, the application of molecular templates to direct reactivity in the solid state is described, and molecules that function as linear templates are demonstrated to pro- vide control of the (2+2) photodimerization in the (1 + 2) solid state such that it is possible to use the templates to conduct target-oriented molecular syntheses, or molecular synthesis by de- sign.

TL;DR: Reb-im is the first example of a heteroditopic molecule that directs a chemical reaction in the solid state, and exhibits a novel and unusual form of degeneracy in its recognition abilities.

TL;DR: Co-crystallisation of 1,8-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid with trans-1-(3-pyridyl)-2-(4-p Pyridyl)ethylene (3,4-bpe) gives a discrete molecular solid-state assembly, 2(3, 4- bpe).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe how reactivity can be controlled in the solid state using molecules and self-assembled metal-organic complexes as templates, which can be used to synthesize molecules that may be impossible to realize from the liquid phase while also taking advantage of the benefits of conducting highly stereocontrolled reactions in a solvent-free environment.
