TL;DR: It is shown that a porous organic cage molecule has unprecedented performance in the solid state for the separation of rare gases, such as krypton and xenon, and selective binding of chiral organic molecules such as 1-phenylethanol, suggesting applications in enantioselective separation.

TL;DR: The combination of computationally assisted structure determination and experimental data analysis of the desolvated phase revealed a structural change in the metal coordination geometry from square-pyramidal to tetrahedral.

TL;DR: A chemoselective spectroscopic method for measuring CO2 sorption isotherms at pressures up to 14 MPa (140 bar) is validated against manometric measurements and molecular simulations, giving insights into the preferred sorption sites in various crystalline porous organic cages.

TL;DR: It is shown how the pendant aliphatic amine chains, present in the framework from the introduction of the lysine amino acid in the peptidic backbone, can be post-synthetically modified to produce urea-functionalised networks by following methodologies typically used for metal–organic frameworks built from more rigid “classical” linkers.
