TLDR
The principles, development and applications of crystalline molecular flasks, solid-state crystalline networks with pores within which pseudo-solution-state reactions can take place, are described.Abstract:
Crystalline networks containing empty cavities can host a variety of molecules but also promote reactions between guests. Through robust crystallinity and a pseudo-solution state (dynamic movements) within their pores, these crystalline molecular flasks enable the direct observation of species — including unstable intermediates — during a reaction by in situ X-ray diffraction.read more

Highly emissive platinum( II ) metallacages
TL;DR: This work preserves emissive behaviour at both low- and high-concentration regimes for two discrete supramolecular coordination complexes (SCCs) that exhibit variable-wavelength visible- light emission, including rare white-light emission in tetrahydrofuran.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transition metal catalysis in confined spaces
TL;DR: The template-ligand approach as well as the host-guest approach to arrive at such supramolecular systems are described and how the performance of the catalyst is enhanced by confining it in a molecular container is discussed.

Graphene/Graphene‐Tube Nanocomposites Templated from Cage‐Containing Metal‐Organic Frameworks for Oxygen Reduction in Li–O2 Batteries
Qing Li,Qing Li,Ping Xu,Wei Gao,Shuguo Ma,Guoqi Zhang,Ruiguo Cao,Jaephil Cho,Hsing-Lin Wang,Gang Wu +9 more
TL;DR: Nitrogen-doped graphene/graphene-tube nanocomposites are prepared by a hightemperature approach using a newly designed cage-containing metal-organic framework (MOF) to template nitrogen/carbon and iron precursors that universally exhibit high oxygen-reduction activity in acidic, alkaline, and non-aqueous electrolytes and superior cathode performance in Li-O2 batteries.

Functional porous coordination polymers.
TL;DR: The aim is to present the state of the art chemistry and physics of and in the micropores of porous coordination polymers, and the next generation of porous functions based on dynamic crystal transformations caused by guest molecules or physical stimuli.
