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.

Role of Free Space and Conformational Control on Photoproduct Selectivity of Optically Pure α-Alkyldeoxybenzoins within a Water-Soluble Organic Capsule

TL;DR: Recombination without rearrangement within the capsule as inferred from monitoring the racemization of the optically pure α-alkyl deoxybenzoins suggesting the capsule's stability for at least 10(-8) s (the time required for ISC) is consistent with previous photophysical studies that showed partial opening and closing of the capsule in the time range of microseconds.

Unique stepwise substitution reaction of a mono(guanidinate)tetraplatinum complex with amidines, giving mono(amidinate)tetraplatinum complexes through mixed-ligand intermediate complexes.

TL;DR: The in-plane acetates of the two Pt4 cores in 13 were fully substituted by 2,6-dimethylbenzoic acid, and ferrocenecarboxylic acid while maintaining its dimer structure to give the corresponding mono(amidinate)tetraplatinum complexes.

Coordinative Alignment To Achieve Ordered Guest Molecules in a Versatile Molecular Crystalline Sponge

TL;DR: In this paper, a Mn2+-based metal-organic framework (coordination porous framework-5, CPF-5) is used as a crystalline sponge for single crystal X-ray structural characterization of a variety of compounds using a combination of coordinative alignment and second coordination sphere interactions (e.g., hydrogen bonding).
