Synthetic control over pore size and pore connectivity is the crowning achievement for
porous metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). The same level of control has not been achieved …

Porous organic molecular cages as a new type of porous materials have attracted a
tremendous attention for their potential applications in recent years. Here we report the use …

Here we report an efficient synthesis of optically active ladder-type molecules and polymers
through intramolecular cyclization of chiral triptycenes containing bis [2-(4-alkoxyphenyl) …

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 …

Imparting mesopores to organic cages of an intrinsic microporous nature to build up
hierarchically porous cage soft materials is a grand challenge and will reshape the property …

Current progress on hierarchical supramolecules using boronic acids has been highlighted
in this feature article. Boronic acids can participate in “click reactions” with diols and their …

Mechanically interlocked structures, such as catenanes and rotaxanes, are fascinating
synthetic targets and some are used for molecular switches and machines. Today, the vast …

A quadrangular prismatic tricyclooxacalixarene cage 1 based on tetraphenylethylene (TPE)
was efficiently synthesized by a one‐pot SNAr condensation reaction. As a result of the …

We define a nomenclature for the classification of porous organic cage molecules,
enumerating the 20 most probable topologies, 12 of which have been synthetically realised …

Porous organic cages present many opportunities in functional materials chemistry, but the
synthetic challenges for these molecular solids are somewhat different from those faced in …
