Supramolecular synthesis is a powerful strategy for assembling complex molecules, but to
do this by targeted design is challenging. This is because multicomponent assembly …

Porous molecular crystals are an emerging class of porous materials that is unique in being
built from discrete molecules rather than being polymeric in nature. In this study, we …

Abstract Energy–structure–function (ESF) maps can aid the targeted discovery of porous
molecular crystals by predicting the stable crystalline arrangements along with their …

Structural analysis of molecular pores can yield important information on their behavior in
solution and in the solid state. We developed pywindow, a python package that enables the …

The construction of hydrogen-bonded frameworks from simple molecular tectons attracts
widespread attention; however, it is still challenging to construct hydrogen-bonded …

Understanding the relationship between molecular and supramolecular structures is
essential for molecular crystal engineering. Recently, we made an intriguing discovery …

A novel type of ionic covalent organic framework (ICOF) with a spiroborate linkage has been
recently designed and synthesized by Zhang and co‐workers (Ionic Covalent Organic …

The emerging advanced porous materials, eg extended framework materials and porous
molecular materials, offer an unprecedented level of control of their structure and function …

Crystalline porous solids based on molecules with intrinsic porosities are a diverse group of
materials that have been investigated in the context of adsorption-based separations and …

Porous molecular crystals are rare. They can sometimes be obtained by crystallization from
a specially selected solvent, in which case they may lose their porosity upon solvent …
