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.

Cu-mediated solid-state reaction in a post-functionalized metal-organic framework

TL;DR: In this article, a functionalized MOF containing grafted copper species can react with itself without solvent in order to modify the chemical functions present on its walls, and the use of EPR techniques allows new insight into the copper-mediated azide reduction.

A Three‐Dimensional Dynamic Supramolecular “Sticky Fingers” Organic Framework

TL;DR: The first example of a pure molecular dynamic crystalline framework is demonstrated, which is held together by means of weak "sticky fingers" van der Waals interactions, and shows utility as molecular sensors or energy-storage materials.
