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.

Supramolecular solids as a medium for single-crystal-to-single-crystal E/Z photoisomerization: kinetic study of the photoreactions of two Zn-coordinated tiglic acid molecules.

TL;DR: Analysis of the temperature dependence of the reaction rates and the occupancies in the final photostationary state shows that the activation energies and the standard enthalpies of activation are dependent on the difference between the reaction cavities.

Response to Comments on “Single-Crystal X-ray Structure of 1,3-Dimethylcyclobutadiene by Confinement in a Crystalline Matrix”

TL;DR: In this paper, the square-planar Me2CBDS / CO2 complex and the rectangular-bent Me 2CBDR molecule are stabilized under confinement by the guanidinium-sulfonate-calixarene host matrix used in our study.

Comment on “Single-Crystal X-ray Structure of 1,3-Dimethylcyclobutadiene by Confinement in a Crystalline Matrix”

TL;DR: In this paper, the experimental x-ray density data are better attributed to the bicyclic β-lactone intermediate where carbon dioxide is covalently bound to cyclobutadiene.
