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.

Engineering catalytic coordination space in a chemically stable Ir-porphyrin MOF with a confinement effect inverting conventional Si–H insertion chemoselectivity

TL;DR: In this paper, an iridium-porphyrin ligand, Ir(TCPP)Cl (TCPP = tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphrin), has been utilized to react with HfCl4 to generate a stable ir(III)-porphyanin metal-organic framework of the formula [(Hf6(μ3-O)8(OH)2(H2O)10)2 (Ir(TCP)Cl)3]·solvents (Ir-PMOF-1(

Zinc(II) coordination polymers, metallohexacycles and metallocapsules—do we understand self-assembly in metallosupramolecular chemistry: algorithms or serendipity?

TL;DR: Using a strategy of layering solvents and solutions of ligands and metal salts under ambient conditions, the authors observed the assembly of a discrete molecular metallohexacycle from ZnCl2 and 4′-(4-ethynylphenyl)-4,2′:6′,4′-terpyridine.
