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.

Covalent stabilization: a sturdy molecular square from reversible metal-ion-directed self-assembly.

TL;DR: This work shows how a labile structure obtained from reversible transition-metal-directed self-assembly of rods and connectors serves as a template that can be converted into a sturdy structure of identical topology and similar geometry.

Metallophilicity-assisted assembly of phosphine-based cage molecules

TL;DR: A family of supramolecular cage molecules has been obtained via self-assembly of the phosphine-gold coordination complexes following an aurophilicity-driven aggregation approach and the difference in dynamic behavior was rationalized using computational studies with density functional methods.

Resonance Assisted Hydrogen Bonding Phenomenon Unveiled through Both Experiments and Theory: A New Family of Ethyl N-Salicylideneglycinate Dyes

TL;DR: It is determined, that the electron-withdrawing NO 2 in 4 amplifies the most RAHB effect causing the breaking of the O-H∙�’∙N hydrogen bond and accordingly formation of the dominant cis -keto isomer in both the solid state and EtOH.
