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.

Guest-Induced, Self-Assembled Supramolecular Capsule: Effect of Guest and Counter Anions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the formation of a molecular capsule from cyclotricatechylene (CTC) by addition of a guest molecule, which is most probably formed through pure electrostatic interaction between the guest and CTC.

Comparing Geometry and Chemistry When Confined Molecules Diffuse in Monodisperse Metal-Organic Framework Pores.

TL;DR: Diffusion coefficient scales with the ratio of cross-sectional areas of diffusant and host pores when charge is taken into account, suggesting potentially useful general design rules to predict how pore size, guest size, and host-guest interaction control guest mobility within nanopores.
