Abstract
Efficient carbon capture requires engineered porous systems that selectively capture CO2 and have low energy regeneration pathways. Porous liquids (PLs), solvent-based systems containing permanent porosity through the incorporation of a porous host, increase the CO2 adsorption capacity. A proposed mechanism of PL regeneration is the application of isostatic pressure in which the dissolved nanoporous host is compressed to alter the stability of gases in the internal pore. This regeneration mechanism relies on the flexibility of the porous host, which can be evaluated through molecular simulations. Here, the flexibility of porous organic cages (POCs) as representative porous hosts was evaluated, during which pore windows decreased by 10-40% at 6 GPa. POCs with sterically smaller functional groups, such as the 1,2-ethane in the CC1 POC resulted in greater imine cage flexibility relative to those with sterically larger functional groups, such as the cyclohexane in the CC3 POC that protected the imine cage from the application of pressure. Structural changes in the POC also caused CO2 adsorption to be thermodynamically unfavorable beginning at ∼2.2 GPa in the CC1 POC, ∼1.1 GPa in the CC3 POC, and ∼1.0 GPa in the CC13 POC, indicating that the CO2 would be expelled from the POC at or above these pressures. Energy barriers for CO2 desorption from inside the POC varied based on the geometry of the pore window and all the POCs had at least one pore window with a sufficiently low energy barrier to allow for CO2 desorption under ambient temperatures. The results identified that flexibility of the CC1, CC3, or CC13 POCs under compression can result in the expulsion of captured gas molecules.

Abstract
Ammonia (NH3) is a carbon-free, hydrogen-rich chemical related to global food safety, clean energy, and environmental protection. As an essential technology for meeting the requirements raised by such issues, NH3 capture has been intensively explored by researchers in both fundamental and applied fields. The four typical methods used are (1) solvent absorption by ionic liquids and their derivatives, (2) adsorption by porous solids, (3) ab-adsorption by porous liquids, and (4) membrane separation. Rooted in the development of advanced materials for NH3 capture, we conducted a coherent review of the design of different materials, mainly in the past 5 years, their interactions with NH3 molecules and construction of transport pathways, as well as the structure-property relationship, with specific examples discussed. Finally, the challenges in current research and future worthwhile directions for NH3 capture materials are proposed.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024:e2403174.

Abstract
Porosity in bulky solvents can be created by the methods of dispersing and dissolving porous hosts or by their chemical adornment. And the ensuing liquids with cavities offer requisite high gas uptakes. Intriguingly, metal-organic cages (MOCs) as discrete nanoporous hosts have been utilized recently as soluble entities to obtain a series of interesting type II porous liquids (PLs). Yet, factors affecting the fabrication of type II PLs have not been disclosed. Herein, three metallocages (NUT-101, ZrT-1-NH2, and ZrT-1) with the same zirconocene nodes but different organic ligands are chosen as porous hosts and a polyethylene-glycol (PEG) linked bis-imidazolium based IL, IL(NTf2), is used as a bulky solvent. It is revealed for the first time that the generation of type II PL depends upon the flexibility of MOCs and the interaction between MOCs and solvent molecules. The maximum solubility is observed with NUT-101 (5%) in IL(NTf2) while ZrT-1-NH2 and ZrT-1 remain least soluble (0.5% and 0.2%). As a result, PL-NUT-101-5% with most intrinsic cavities shows higher CO2 uptake (0.576 mmol g-1) than PL-ZrT-1-NH2-0.5% and PL-ZrT-1-0.2% as well as those reported type II PLs.

Abstract
We exploited 129Xe NMR to investigate xenon gas uptake and dynamics in a porous liquid formed by dissolving porous organic cages in a cavity-excluded solvent. Quantitative 129Xe NMR shows that when the amount of xenon added to the sample is lower than the amount of cages present (subsaturation), the porous liquid absorbs almost all xenon atoms from the gas phase, with 30% of the cages occupied with a Xe atom. A simple two-site exchange model enables an estimate of the chemical shift of 129Xe in the cages, which is in good agreement with the value provided by first-principles modeling. T2 relaxation times allow the determination of the exchange rate of Xe between the solvent and cage sites as well as the activation energies of the exchange. The 129Xe NMR analysis also enables determination of the free energy of confinement, and it shows that Xe binding is predominantly enthalpy-driven.

Abstract
Porous Ionic Liquids (PILs) have gained attention but facing challenges in catalysis, especially in liquid-liquid two-phase reactions due to limited catalytic sites and hydrophilicity control. This work engineered a Type III PILs (PILS-M) using zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) confined phosphomolybdic acid (HPMo) as the microporous framework and N-butyl pyridine bis(trifluoromethane sulfonyl) imide ionic liquid ([Bpy][NTf2]) as the solvent. The PILS-M not only combines the advantages of traditional ionic liquids and microporous frameworks, including excellent extraction, high dispersion of catalytically active species, remarkable stability, etc., but also can make the inner surface of ZIF-8 turned to be hydrophilic that favors the contact between aqueous hydrogen peroxide oxidant and catalytically active sites for the promotion of catalytic performance in reactive extractive desulfurization (REDS) processes of fuel oils. This study demonstrates Type III PILs' potential as catalysts for sustainable chemical processes, offering insights into versatile PILs applications in diverse fields.

Abstract
Porous liquids (PLs), which are solvent-based systems that contain permanent porosity due to the incorporation of a solid porous host, are of significant interest for the capture of greenhouse gases, including CO2. Type 3 PLs formed by using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as the nanoporous host provide a high degree of chemical turnability for gas capture. However, pore aperture fluctuation, such as gate-opening in zeolitic imidazole framework (ZIF) MOFs, complicates the ability to keep the MOF pores available for gas adsorption. Therefore, an understanding of the solvent molecular size required to ensure exclusion from MOFs in ZIF-based Type 3 PLs is needed. Through a combined computational and experimental approach, the solvent-pore accessibility of exemplar MOF ZIF-8 was examined. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations identified that the lowest-energy solvent-ZIF interaction occurred at the pore aperture. Experimental density measurements of ZIF-8 dispersed in various-sized solvents showed that ZIF-8 adsorbed solvent molecules up to 2 Å larger than the crystallographic pore aperture. Density analysis of ZIF dispersions was further applied to a series of possible ZIF-based PLs, including ZIF-67, -69, -71(RHO), and -71(SOD), to examine the structure-property relationships governing solvent exclusion, which identified eight new ZIF-based Type 3 PL compositions. Solvent exclusion was driven by pore aperture expansion across all ZIFs, and the degree of expansion, as well as water exclusion, was influenced by ligand functionalization. Using these results, a design principle was formulated to guide the formation of future ZIF-based Type 3 PLs that ensures solvent-free pores and availability for gas adsorption.

Abstract
The effective capture of radioiodine is vital to the development of the nuclear industry and ecological environmental protection. There is, therefore, a continuously growing research exploration in various types of solid-state materials for iodine capture. During the last decade, the potential of using macrocycle and cage-based supramolecular materials in effective uptake and separation of radioactive iodine has been demonstrated. Interest in the application of these materials in iodine capture originates from their diversified porous characteristics, abundant host-guest chemistry, high iodine affinity and adsorption capacity, high stability in various environments, facile modification and functionalization, and intrinsic structural flexibility, among other attributes. Herein, recent progress in macrocycle and cage-based solid-state materials, including pure discrete macrocycles and cages, and their polymeric forms, for iodine capture is summarized and discussed with an emphasis on iodine capture capacities, mechanisms, and design strategies.

Abstract
MOF-based type III porous liquids, comprising porous MOFs dissolved in a liquid solvent, have attracted increasing attention in carbon capture. However, discovering appropriate MOFs to prepare porous liquids was still limited in experiments, wasting time and energy. In this study, we have used the density functional theory and molecular dynamics simulation methods to identify 4530 MOF candidates as the core database based on the idea of prohibiting the pore occupancy of porous liquids by the solvent, [DBU-PEG][NTf2] ionic liquid. Based on high-throughput molecular simulation, random forest machine learning models were first trained to predict the CO2 sorption and the CO2/N2 sorption selectivity of MOFs to screen the MOFs to prepare porous liquids. The feature importance was inferred based on Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP) interpretation, and the ranking of the top 5 descriptors for sorption/selectivity trade-off (TSN) was gravimetric surface area (GSA) > porosity > density > metal fraction > pore size distribution (PSD, 3.5-4 Å). RICBEM was predicted to be one candidate for preparing porous liquid with CO2 sorption capacity of 20.87 mmol/g and CO2/N2 sorption selectivity of 16.75. The experimental results showed that the RICBEM-based porous liquid was successfully synthesized with CO2 sorption capacity of 2.21 mmol/g and CO2/N2 sorption selectivity of 63.2, the best carbon capture performance known to date. Such a screening method would advance the screening of cores and solvents for preparing type III porous liquids with different applications by addressing corresponding factors.

Abstract
Removal of trace impurities for natural gas purification coupled with waste gas conversion is highly desired in industry. We here report a type of porous ionic liquids (PILs) that can realize the continuous flow separation of CH4 /CO2 /H2 S and the conversion of the captured H2 S to useful products. The PILs are synthesized through a step-by-step surface modification of ionic liquids (ILs) onto UiO-66-OH nanocrystals. The introduction of free tertiary amine groups on the nanocrystal surface endows these PILs with an exceptional ability to enrich H2 S from CO2 and CH4 with impressive selectivity, while the permanent pores of UiO-66-OH act as containers to store an exceptionally higher amount of the selectively captured H2 S than the corresponding nonporous ILs. Simultaneously, the tertiary amines as dual functional moieties offer effective catalytic sites for the conversion of the H2 S stored in PILs into 3-mercaptoisobutyric acid, a key intermediate required for the synthesis of Captopril (an antihypertensive drug). Molecular dynamics, density functional theory calculations and Grand Canonical Monte Carlo simulations help understand both the mechanisms of separation and catalysis performance, confirming that the tertiary amines as well as the permanent pores in UiO-66-OH play vital roles in the whole procedure.

Abstract
Metal-containing nanoparticles possess nanoscale sizes, but the exploitation of their nanofeatures in nanofabrication processes remains challenging. Herein, we report the realization of a class of zinc-based nanoparticle liquids and their potential for applications in controlled nanofabrication. Utilizing the metal-core charge shielding strategy, we prepared nanoparticles that display glass-to-liquid transition behavior with glass transition temperature far below room temperature (down to -50.9 °C). Theoretical calculations suggest the outer surface of these unusual nanoparticles is almost neutral, thus leading to interparticle interactions weak enough to give them liquefaction characteristics. Such features endow them with extraordinarily high dispersibility and excellent film-forming capabilities. Twenty-two types of nanoparticles synthesized by this strategy have all shown good lithographic properties in the mid-ultraviolet, electron beam, or extreme ultraviolet light, and these nanoparticle liquids have achieved controlled top-down nanofabrication with predesigned 18 or 16 nm patterns. This proposed strategy is synthetically scalable and structurally extensible and is expected to inspire the design of entirely new forms of nanomaterials.

Abstract
Permanent macropores (>50 nm) had not been reported in the liquid state until a recent report by Tao Li and co-workers describing a synthetic strategy to form a porous liquid with dual micro-macroporosity. This is prepared by producing hierarchically porous particles that are surface coated and fluidised by dispersion. Surface micropores enable permanent porosity by steric exclusion of the fluid phase. The material has a considerable water uptake capacity (27 % w/w) due to large (480 nm) unoccupied macropores. This also enables switching of thermal conductivity on uptake of water. These are new properties translated from porous solids to the liquid state.

Abstract
In order to overcome the limitations of supramolecular organic cages for their incomplete accessibility of active sites in the solid state and uneasy recyclability in liquid solution, herein a nitrogen-rich organic cage is rationally linked into framework systems and four isoreticular covalent organic frameworks (COFs), that is, Cage-TFB-COF, Cage-NTBA-COF, Cage-TFPB-COF, and Cage-TFPT-COF, are successfully synthesized. Structure determination reveals that they are all high-quality crystalline materials derived from the eclipsed packing of related isoreticular two-dimensional frameworks. Since the nitrogen-rich sites usually have a high affinity toward iodine species, iodine adsorption investigations are carried out and the results show that all of them display an enhancement in iodine adsorption capacities. Especially, Cage-NTBA-COF exhibits an iodine adsorption capacity of 304 wt%, 14-fold higher than the solid sample packed from the cage itself. The strong interactions between the nitrogen-rich sites and the adsorbed iodine species are revealed by spectral analyses. This work demonstrates that, utilizing the reticular chemistry strategy to extend the close-packed supramolecular organic cages into crystalline porous framework solids, their inherent properties can be greatly exploited for targeted applications.

Abstract
Facile approaches capable of constructing stable and structurally diverse porous liquids (PLs) that can deliver high-performance applications are a long-standing, captivating, and challenging research area that requires significant attention. Herein, a facile surface deposition strategy is demonstrated to afford diverse type III-PLs possessing ultra-stable dispersion, external structure modification, and enhanced performance in gas storage and transformation by leveraging the expeditious and uniform precipitation of selected metal salts. The Ag(I) species-modified zeolite nanosheets are deployed as the porous host to construct type III-PLs with ionic liquids (ILs) containing bromide anion , leading to stable dispersion driven by the formation of AgBr nanoparticles. The as-afforded type-III PLs display promising performance in CO2 capture/conversion and ethylene/ethane separation. Property and performance of the as-produced PLs can be tuned by the cation structure of the ILs, which can be harnessed to achieve polarity reversal of the porous host via ionic exchange. The surface deposition procedure can be further extended to produce PLs from Ba(II)-functionalized zeolite and ILs containing [SO4 ]2- anion driven by the formation of BaSO4 salts. The as-produced PLs are featured by well-maintained crystallinity of the porous host, good fluidity and stability, enhanced gas uptake capacity, and attractive performance in small gas molecule utilization.

Abstract
Porous liquids are an emerging class of microporous materials where intrinsic, stable porosity is imbued in a liquid material. Many porous liquids are prepared by dispersing porous solids in bulky solvents; these can be contrasted by the method of dissolving microporous molecules. We highlight the latter "Type II" porous liquids-which are stable thermodynamic solutions with demonstrable colligative properties. This feature significantly impacts the ultimate utility of the liquid for various end-use applications. We also describe a facile method for determining if a Type II porous liquid candidate is "porous" based on assessing the partial molar volume of the porous host molecule dissolved in the solvent by measuring the densities of candidate solutions. Conventional CO2 isotherms confirm the porosity of the porous liquids and corroborate the facile density method.

Abstract
The thermostability of encapsulated xenon is investigated in a series of isostructural crystalline sorbents. These sorbents consist of metal-organic capsules, with the general formula of [ConFe4-nL6]4- (n = 1, 2, 3 and 4), where L2- is an organic linker with two sulfonate groups. In the crystalline sorbent, guanidinium cations form H-bond networks with the peripheral sulfonate groups in the solid state and trap xenon in the molecular cavities, which are at least 2.7 times the volume of xenon. When heated, the sorbent retains xenon up to 561 K, i.e., 396 K higher than the boiling point of xenon. Furthermore, the thermostability of trapped xenon can be modulated by varying the ratio of Co:Fe in the crystalline sorbent. Elemental analysis on a single crystal by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy confirms the homogeneous distribution of Co and Fe in the sorbent. Structural analyses reveal that the expansion of capsule cavity is proportional to the Co:Fe ratio, with increases of 0.049(1) Å and 6.4(8) Å3 in metal-metal distance and cavity volume, per substitution of Fe by Co center. Steric repulsion between peripheral sulfonate groups is found to render a hypothetical face-centered cubic structure of (C(NH2)3)4[Fe4L6] not accessible, which would have trapped xenon with exceptional thermostability. The stable and tunable trapping of xenon in crystalline sorbents by over-sized molecular cavities suggests a new strategy for separation and storage of xenon, through introduction of kinetic barriers, such as H-bond networks.

Abstract
Porous materials are the subject of extensive research because of potential applications in areas such as gas adsorption and molecular separations. Until recently, most porous materials were solids, but there is now an emerging class of materials known as porous liquids. The incorporation of intrinsic porosity or cavities in a liquid can result in free-flowing materials that are capable of gas uptakes that are significantly higher than conventional non-porous liquids. A handful of porous liquids have also been investigated for gas separations. Until now, the release of gas from porous liquids has relied on molecular displacement (e.g., by adding small solvent molecules), pressure or temperature swings, or sonication. Here, we explore a new method of gas release which involves photoisomerisable porous liquids comprising a photoresponsive MOF dispersed in an ionic liquid. This results in the selective uptake of CO2 over CH4 and allows gas release to be controlled by using UV light.

Abstract
A pair of chiral, emissive and porous tubular multi-functional organic molecular cages were synthesized easily by imine chemistry of 4,4',4'',4'''-(ethene-1,1,2,2-tetrayl)-tetrabenzaldehyde (ETTBA) with (R,R)- or (S,S)-diaminocyclohexane (CHDA). It was found that the chirality of CHDA was transferred and amplified to tetraphenylethylene (TPE) in the process of formation of cages, which further endowed the cages with circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) characteristics. As a result of the synergy of the chirality and porous structure in the solid state, both cages exhibited a good chiral adsorption enantioselectivity to a series of aromatic racemates.

Abstract
Xenon binding represents a formidable challenge, and efficient hosts remain rare. Here we report our findings that while enantiomeric bis(urea)-bis(thiourea) macrocycles form exclusive homochiral dimeric assemblies, xenon is able to overcome the narcissism and induces an otherwise-nonobservable heterochiral assembly as its preferred host. An experimental approach and fitting model were developed to obtain binding constants associated with the invisible assembly species. The determined xenon binding affinity with the heterochiral capsule reaches 1600 M-1, which is 15 times higher than that with the homochiral capsule and represents the highest record for an assembled host. The origin of the large difference in xenon affinity between the two subtle diastereotopic assemblies was revealed by single-crystal analysis. In the heterochiral capsule with S4 symmetry, the xenon atom is more tightly enclosed by van der Waals surroundings of the four thiourea groups arranged in a spherical cross-array, superior to the antiparallel array in the homochiral capsule with D2 symmetry.

Abstract
Cage compounds offer unique binding pockets similar to enzyme-binding sites, which can be customized in terms of size, shape, and functional groups to point toward the cavity and many other parameters. Different synthetic strategies have been developed to create a toolkit of methods that allow preparing tailor-made organic cages for a number of distinct applications, such as gas separation, molecular recognition, molecular encapsulation, hosts for catalysis, etc. These examples show the versatility and high selectivity that can be achieved using cages, which is impossible by employing other molecular systems. This review explores the progress made in the field of fully organic molecular cages and containers by focusing on the properties of the cavity and their application to encapsulate guests.

Abstract
It remains a great challenge to effectively control the pore size in porous organic polymers (POPs) because of the disordered linking modes. Herein, we used organic molecular cages (OMCs), possessing the properties of fixed intrinsic cavities, high numbers of reactive sites and dissolvable processability, as building blocks to construct a molecular cage-based POP (TPP-pOMC) with high valency through covalent cross coupling reaction. In the formed TPP-pOMC, the originating blocking pore channels of TPP-OMC were “turned on” and formed fixed pore channels (5.3 Å) corresponding to the connective intrinsic cavities of cages, and intermolecular pore channels (1.34 and 2.72 nm) between cages. Therefore, TPP-pOMC showed significant enhancement in Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area and CO2 adsorption capacity. By utilizing the cage to framework strategy, the blocking pores of the cage itself were “turned on” to construct a highly covalent molecular cage based porous organic polymer.![]()

Abstract
The development of microporosity in the liquid state is leading to an inherent change in the way we approach applications of functional porosity, potentially allowing access to new processes by exploiting the fluidity of these new materials. By engineering permanent porosity into a liquid, over the transient intermolecular porosity in all liquids, it is possible to design and form a porous liquid. Since the concept was proposed in 2007, and the first examples realised in 2015, the field has seen rapid advances among the types and numbers of porous liquids developed, our understanding of the structure and properties, as well as improvements in gas uptake and molecular separations. However, despite these recent advances, the field is still young, and with only a few applications reported to date, the potential that porous liquids have to transform the field of microporous materials remains largely untapped. In this review, we will explore the theory and conception of porous liquids and cover major advances in the area, key experimental characterisation techniques and computational approaches that have been employed to understand these systems, and summarise the investigated applications of porous liquids that have been presented to date. We also outline an emerging discovery workflow with recommendations for the characterisation required at each stage to both confirm permanent porosity and fully understand the physical properties of the porous liquid.

Type II porous ionic liquid based on metal-organic cages that enables L-tryptophan identification. Nat Commun 2022; 13:2353.

Abstract
Porous liquids with chemical separation properties are quite well-studied in general, but there is only a handful of reports in the context of identification and separation of non-gaseous molecules. Herein, we report a Type II porous ionic liquid composed of coordination cages that exhibits exceptional selectivity towards l-tryptophan (l-Trp) over other aromatic amino acids. A previously known class of anionic organic–inorganic hybrid doughnut-like cage (HD) is dissolved in trihexyltetradecylphosphonium chloride (THTP_Cl). The resulting liquid, HD/THTP_Cl, is thereby composed of common components, facile to prepare, and exhibit room temperature fluidity. The permanent porosity is manifested by the high-pressure isotherm for CH4 and modeling studies. With evidence from time-dependent amino acid uptake, competitive extraction studies and molecular dynamic simulations, HD/THTP_Cl exhibit better selectivity towards l-Trp than other solid state sorbents, and we attribute it to not only the intrinsic porosity of HD but also the host-guest interactions between HD and l-Trp. Specifically, each HD unit is filled with nearly 5 l-Trp molecules, which is higher than the l-Trp occupation in the structure unit of other benchmark metal-organic frameworks. Porous liquids are potentially useful materials for the identification and separation of non-gaseous compounds. Herein, the authors report a type II porous ionic liquid with permanent porosity and high selectivity towards l-tryptophan (l-Trp) over other aromatic amino acids.

Abstract
Porous liquids (PLs) have both liquid fluidity and solid porosity, thereby offering a variety of applications, such as gas sorption and separation, homogeneous catalysis, energy storage, and so forth. In this research, canopies with varying structures were utilized to modify porous silica nanoparticles to develop Type I PLs. According to experimental results, the molecular weight of canopies should be high enough to maintain the porous materials in the liquid state at room temperature. Characterization results revealed that PL_1_M2070 and PL_1_AC1815 displayed low viscosity and good fluidity. Both low temperature and high pressure positively influenced CO2 capacity. The cavity occupancy resulted in poorer sorption capacity of PLs with branched canopies in comparison with that with linear canopies. Furthermore, the sorption capacity of PL_1_M2070 was 90.5% of the original CO2 sorption capacity after 10 sorption/desorption cycles, indicating excellent recyclability.

Abstract
In this study, we introduced four "claw-like" units of dipicolylamine (DPA) to a tetraphenylethylene (TPE)-based organic molecular cage (DPA-TPE-Cage). Coordinated with Zn2+ ions, the obtained ZnDPA-TPE-Cage exhibited aggregation induced emission (AIE) effects and oxidase-like properties, which endowed it with the ability to selectively image and kill Gram-positive bacteria S. aureus efficiently.

Abstract
An uncharged, water-soluble per-ethylene-glycol pillar[5]arene derivative (1) was synthesized and its aggregation mode, host-guest chemistry in water and extraction ability was explored. Compound 1 is a liquid at room temperature; in water, limited self-aggregation occurred at high concentrations as deduced from diffusion NMR and dynamic light scattering. Compound 1 forms pseudo-rotaxane-like 1 : 1 host-guest complexes with 1,ω-di-substituted alkanes with association constants on the order of 103 -104 m-1 . Interestingly, NMR experiments showed that the guest location relative to the host ring system differs among the different complexes. In proof-of-concept experiments, compound 1 was shown to extract structurally related organic compounds from benzene into water with significant selectivity. Compound 1, which is a liquid at room temperature and has only limited interactions with its side arms, can, in principle, be regarded as a complement to or as a kind of type I porous liquid.

Abstract
The absorption of multiple atoms and molecules, including Kr, Xe, CH4, CO2, C2H2, H2O, and SF6, within CC3-R, a Porous Organic Cage (POC), was calculated and analyzed. The CC3-R molecule has one central cavity and four window sites. Most adsorbents were modeled with either one unit in the central cavity, four units in the window sites, or with five units in both sites. For Xe, the most favorable site was the central one. The CO2 molecule binds about 3 kcal mol-1 in free energy more strongly than CH4 in the central cavity of CC3-R at 300 K which may be enough to allow useful discrimination. Four C2H2 units and four CO2 units are calculated to bind similarly inside CC3-R (ΔH(298 K) = -8.6 and -7.7 kcal mol-1 per unit, respectively). Since H2O is smaller, more waters can easily fit inside. For twelve water molecules, the binding enthalpy per water is ΔH(298 K) = -16.4 kcal mol-1. For comparison, the binding enthalpy of (H2O)12 at the same level of theory (B3LYP/6-31G(d,p)-D3BJ//M06-2X/6-31G(d)) is predicted to be -12.3 kcal mol-1 per water. Finally, the dimerization of CC3-R and the association of CC3-R with CC3-S was studied as well as 3 to 9 iodine atoms enclosed in CC3-R.

Abstract
Based on silica hollow nanospheres grafted with an ionic shell, silica-based type I porous liquids remain poorly exploited, despite their huge versatility. We propose here to explore the main synthesis step of these promising materials with a thorough characterization approach to evaluate their structural and porous properties. Modifying the main synthesis parameter, the mechanism of the spheres’ formation is clarified and shows that the calcination temperature, the surfactant concentration as well as the micelle swelling agent concentration allow tuning not only the size of the nanospheres and internal cavities, but also the silica shell microporosity and, therefore, the accessibility of the internal cavities. This study highlights the key parameters of hollow silica nanospheres, which are at the basis of type I porous liquids synthesis with optimized structural and porous properties.

Abstract
NMR has been instrumental in studies of both the structure and dynamics of molecular systems for decades, so it is not surprising that NMR has played a pivotal role in the study of host-guest complexes and supramolecular systems. In this mini-review, selected examples will be used to demonstrate the added value of using (multiparametric) NMR for studying macrocycle-based host-guest and supramolecular systems. We will restrict the discussion to synthetic host systems having a cavity that can engulf their guests thus restricting them into confined spaces. So discussion of selected examples of cavitands, cages, capsules and their complexes, aggregates and polymers as well as organic cages and porous liquids and other porous materials will be used to demonstrate the insights that have been gathered from the extracted NMR parameters when studying such systems emphasizing the information obtained from somewhat less routine NMR methods such as diffusion NMR, diffusion ordered spectroscopy (DOSY) and chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) and their variants. These selected examples demonstrate the impact that the results and findings from these NMR studies have had on our understanding of such systems and on the developments in various research fields.

Abstract
Permanent pores combined with fluidity renders flow processability to porous liquids otherwise not seen in porous solids. Although porous liquids have been utilized for sequestration of different gases and their separation, there is still a dearth of studies for deploying in situ chemical reactions to convert adsorbed gases into utility chemicals. Here, we show the design and development of a new type of solvent-less and hybrid (meso-)porous liquid composite, which, as demonstrated for the first time, can be used for in situ carbon mineralization of adsorbed CO2 . The recyclable porous liquid composite comprising polymer-surfactant modified hollow silica nanorods and carbonic anhydrase enzyme not only sequesters (5.5 cm3 g-1 at 273 K and 1 atm) and stores CO2 but is also capable of driving an in situ enzymatic reaction for hydration of CO2 to HCO3 - ion, subsequently converting it to CaCO3 due to reaction with pre-dissolved Ca2+ . Light and electron microscopy combined with X-ray diffraction reveals the nucleation and growth of calcite and aragonite crystals. Moreover, the liquid-like property of the porous composite material can be harnessed by executing the same reaction via diffusion of complimentary Ca2+ and HCO3 - ions through different compartments separated by an interfacial channel. These studies provide a proof of concept of deploying chemical reactions within porous liquids for developing utility chemical from adsorbed molecules.

Abstract
The unique applications of porous metal-organic framework (MOF) liquids with permanent porosity and fluidity have attracted significant attention. However, fabrication of porous MOF liquids remains challenging because of the easy intermolecular self-filling of the cavity or the rapid settlement of porous hosts in hindered solvents that cannot enter their pores. Herein, we report a facile strategy for the fabrication of a MOF liquid (Im-UiO-PL) by surface ionization of an imidazolium-functionalized framework with a sterically hindered poly(ethylene glycol) sulfonate (PEGS) canopy. The Im-UiO-PL obtained in this way has a CO2 adsorption approximately 14 times larger than that of pure PEGS. Distinct from a porous MOF solid counterpart, the stored CO2 in Im-UiO-PL can be slowly released and efficiently utilized to synthesize cyclic carbonates in the atmosphere. This is the first example of the use of a porous MOF liquid as a CO2 storage material for catalysis. It offers a new method for the fabrication of unique porous liquid MOFs with functional behaviors in various fields of gas adsorption and catalysis.

Abstract
Here we report the subcomponent self-assembly of a truxene-faced Zn4 L4 tetrahedron, which is capable of binding the smallest hydrocarbons in solution. By deliberately incorporating inward-facing ethyl groups on the truxene faces, the resulting partially-filled cage cavity was tailored to encapsulate methane, ethane, and ethene via van der Waals interactions at atmospheric pressure in acetonitrile, and also in the amorphous solid state. Interestingly, gas capture showed divergent selectivities in solution and the amorphous solid state. The selective binding may prove useful in designing new processes for the purification of methane and ethane as feedstocks for chemical synthesis.

Abstract
Molecular separations that enable selective transport of target molecules from gas and liquid molecular mixtures, such as CO2 capture, olefin/paraffin separations, and organic solvent nanofiltration, represent the most energy sensitive and significant demands. Membranes are favored for molecular separations owing to the advantages of energy efficiency, simplicity, scalability, and small environmental footprint. A number of emerging microporous organic materials have displayed great potential as building blocks of molecular separation membranes, which not only integrate the rigid, engineered pore structures and desirable stability of inorganic molecular sieve membranes, but also exhibit a high degree of freedom to create chemically rich combinations/sequences. To gain a deep insight into the intrinsic connections and characteristics of these microporous organic material-based membranes, in this review, for the first time, we propose the concept of organic molecular sieve membranes (OMSMs) with a focus on the precise construction of membrane structures and efficient intensification of membrane processes. The platform chemistries, designing principles, and assembly methods for the precise construction of OMSMs are elaborated. Conventional mass transport mechanisms are analyzed based on the interactions between OMSMs and penetrate(s). Particularly, the 'STEM' guidelines of OMSMs are highlighted to guide the precise construction of OMSM structures and efficient intensification of OMSM processes. Emerging mass transport mechanisms are elucidated inspired by the phenomena and principles of the mass transport processes in the biological realm. The representative applications of OMSMs in gas and liquid molecular mixture separations are highlighted. The major challenges and brief perspectives for the fundamental science and practical applications of OMSMs are tentatively identified.

Abstract
The possibility of engineering well-defined pores into liquid materials is fascinating from both a conceptual and an applications point of view. Although the concept of porous liquids was proposed in 2007, these materials had remained hypothetical due to the technical challenges associated with their synthesis. Over the past five years, however, reports of the successful construction of porous liquids based on existing porous scaffolds, such as coordination cages, organic cages, metal-organic frameworks, porous carbons, zeolites, and porous polymers, have started to emerge. Here, the focus is on these early reports of porous liquids as prototypes in the field, classified according to the previously defined types of porous liquids. Particular attention will be paid to design strategies and structure-property relationships. Porous liquids have already exhibited promising applications in gas storage, transportation, and chemical separations. Thus, they show great potential for use in the chemical industry. The challenges of preparation, scale-up, volatility, thermal and chemical stability, and competition with porous solids will also be discussed.

Abstract
Molecules with permanent porosity in the solid state have been studied for decades. Porosity in these systems is governed by intrinsic pore space, as in cages or macrocycles, and extrinsic void space, created through loose, intermolecular solid-state packing. The development of permanently porous molecular materials, especially cages with organic or metal-organic composition, has seen increased interest over the past decade, and as such, incredibly high surface areas have been reported for these solids. Despite this, examples of these materials being explored for gas storage applications are relatively limited. This minireview outlines existing molecular systems that have been investigated for gas storage and highlights strategies that have been used to understand adsorption mechanisms in porous molecular materials.

Abstract
Porous liquids (PLs), an emerging kind of liquid materials with permanent porosity, have attracted increasing attention in gas capture. However, directly turning metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) into PLs via a covalent linkage surface engineering strategy has not been reported. Additionally, challenges including reducing the cost and simplifying the preparation process are daunting. Herein, we proposed a general method to transform Universitetet i Oslo (UiO)-66-OH MOFs into PLs by surface engineering with organosilane (OS) and oligomer species via covalent bonding linkage. The oligomer species endow UiO-66-OH with superior fluidity at room temperature. Meanwhile, the resulting PLs showed great potential in both CO2 adsorption and CO2/N2 selective separation. The residual porosity of PLs was verified by diverse characterizations and molecular simulations. Besides, CO2 selective capture sites were determined by grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulation. Furthermore, the universality of the covalent linkage surface engineering strategy was confirmed using different classes of oligomer species and another MOF (ZIF-8-bearing amino groups). Notably, this strategy can be extended to construct other PLs by taking advantages of the rich library of oligomer species, thus making PLs promising candidates for further applications in energy and environment-related fields, such as gas capture, separation, and catalysis.

Abstract
Crystalline porous materials (CPMs) with uniform and regular pore systems show great potential for separation applications using membrane technology. Along with the research on the synthesis of precisely engineered porous structures, significant attention has been paid to the practical application of these materials for preparation of crystalline porous membranes (CPMBs). In this review, the progress made in the preparation of thin, large area and defect-free CPMBs using classical and novel porous materials and processing is presented. The current state-of-the-art of scalable CPMBs with different nodes (inorganic, organic and hybrid) and various linking bonds (covalent, coordination, and hydrogen bonds) is revealed. The advances made in the scalable production of high-performance crystalline porous membranes are categorized according to the strategies adapted from polymer membranes (interfacial assembly, solution-casting, melt extrusion and polymerization of CPMs) and tailored based on CPM properties (seeding-secondary growth, conversion of precursors, electrodeposition and chemical vapor deposition). The strategies are compared and ranked based on their scalability and cost. The potential applications of CPMBs have been concisely summarized. Finally, the performance and challenges in the preparation of scalable CPMBs with emphasis on their sustainability are presented.

Abstract
Xenon binding has attracted interest due to the potential for xenon separation and emerging applications in magnetic resonance imaging. Compared to their covalent counterparts, assembled hosts that are able to effectively bind xenon are rare. Here, we report a tight yet soft chiral macrocycle dimeric capsule for efficient and adaptive xenon binding in both crystal form and solution. The chiral bisurea-bisthiourea macrocycle can be easily synthesized in multi-gram scale. Through assembly, the flexible macrocycles are locked in a bowl-shaped conformation and buckled to each other, wrapping up a tight, completely sealed yet adjustable cavity suitable for xenon, with a very high affinity for an assembled host. A slow-exchange process and drastic spectral changes are observed in both 1H and 129Xe NMR. With the easy synthesis, modification and reversible characteristics, we believe the robust yet adaptive assembly system may find applications in xenon sequestration and magnetic resonance imaging-based biosensing.
