Crystalline molecular flasks

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.

X-ray analysis on the nanogram to microgram scale using porous complexes

TL;DR: A protocol for SCD analysis that does not require the crystallization of the sample is reported, which allows the direct characterization of multiple fractions and unambiguously determined the structure of a scarce marine natural product using only 5 micrograms of the compound.

Postsynthetic Modification of Metal—Organic Frameworks

TL;DR: In this paper, the modification of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in a postsynthetic scheme is discussed, where the MOF is assembled and then modified with chemical reagents with preservation of the lattice structure.

The Reaction of Organozinc Compounds with an Aldehyde within a Crystalline Molecular Flask

TL;DR: It is shown that crystalline flasks can tolerate the inclusion of reactive organozinc reagents and that the subsequent reaction with an embedded aromatic aldehyde showed enhanced reactivity and selectivity.
