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 topochemical polymerizations using block copolymer templates.

TL;DR: In thin films, it was found that hierarchical self-assembly of the diacetylene monomers by microphase segregation of the block copolymer template enhances the topochemical photopolymerization, which is complete within a 20 s exposure to UV light.

A solid-solid phase transition in carbon dioxide at high pressures and intermediate temperatures.

TL;DR: A general ab initio computational method is introduced that can predict the Gibbs free energies and thus phase diagrams of molecular crystals and computationally reproduce the vibrational Raman bands and explain the pressure dependence of the structure parameters and Raman band positions of both phases quantitatively.

A Rotaxane‐like Cage‐in‐Ring Structural Motif for a Metallosupramolecular Pd6L12 Aggregate

TL;DR: A BODIPY-based bis(3-pyridyl) ligand undergoes self-assembly upon coordination to tetravalent palladium(II) cations to form a Pd6 L12 metallosupramolecular assembly with an unprecedented structural motif that resembles a rotaxane-like cage-in-ring arrangement.
