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.read more

Photochemistry using a host-guest charge transfer paradigm: DMABN as a dynamical probe of ground and excited states.
Rahul Gera,Jyotishman Dasgupta +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the dynamics of the host-guest CT interactions in the ground and excited states of an electron-rich molecular probe N,N-dimethylaminobenzonitrile (DMABN) incarcerated inside an electron deficient water-soluble cationic Pd6L412+ nanohost.

Chiral Self-Sorting Effects in the Self-Assembly of Metallosupramolecular Aggregates Comprising Ligands Derived from Tröger's Base.
TL;DR: The combination of these slim metal binding motifs with the rigid v-shaped 2,8- or 3,9-disubstituted Tröger's base scaffolds seems to be especially well preorganized to ensure high-fidelity social self-sorting behavior.

Thermal Elimination of Ethylene from Cyclobutyl Groups Characterized by X-ray Crystallography in a Metal-Organic Framework Matrix.
TL;DR: This work introduces cyclobutyl groups into a metal-organic framework (MOF) matrix that are poised to produce ethylene upon heating to enable full characterization of the thermolysis by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and modify the vinyl groups by a bromine addition reaction.

In situ identification and absolute separation of small molecules by single crystal X-ray diffraction in metal–organic frameworks
Heng Ya Gao,Le Zhang,Chang Sheng Yan,Li Na Meng,Jian Qiang Li,Pan Pan Meng,Le Le Gong,Feng Luo +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, an in situ method, similar to the "crystalline sponge" method, is presented to identify and absolutely separate small volatile organic molecules (such as methanol, ethanol, propanol and DMF).

Selective Binding and Isomerization of Oximes in a Self-Assembled Capsule.
TL;DR: In this article , a series of straight-chain alkyl-O-methyl aldoximes (R-C(H)═NOMe) were synthesized with various functional groups at the remote ends (alkenes, halogen, -COOH, and NH2) and their isomers about the C═N bond showed ∼60-40% E-Z-ratio in organic solutions.
