Abstract
Pressure induced amorphization provides a distinct route to prepare novel amorphous materials. Single crystals of the porous aluminophosphate AlPO4-17 directly transform to an amorphous state beginning at 0.6 GPa, without fragmentation into polycrystalline material. Apart from a reduction in dimensions, the amorphous material retains the form of the initial single crystal. Remnant crystalline domains in the amorphous material also preserve the initial orientation of the single crystal. X-ray diffraction indicates the compression of the structure around the empty pores in the xy plane and such an amorphization mechanism is consistent with a direct structural relationship between the single crystal and amorphous forms. The collapse of the initial pore volume is almost complete at 2.5 GPa. A memory effect is observed in the amorphous form, which strongly expands on decompression. The present process opens the way for the synthesis of topologically ordered amorphous materials approaching "perfect glasses" with improved mechanical properties.

Abstract
The porous aluminophosphate AlPO4-17 with a hexagonal erionite structure, exhibiting very strong negative thermal expansion, anomalous compressibility, and pressure-induced amorphization, was studied at high pressure by single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction in the penetrating pressure transmitting media N2, O2, and Ar. Under pressure, these guest species were confirmed to enter the pores of AlPO4-17, thus completely modifying its behavior. Pressure-induced collapse in the xy plane of AlPO4-17 no longer occurred, and this plane exhibited close to zero area compressibility. Pressure-induced amorphization was also suppressed as the elastic instability in the xy plane was removed. Crystal structure refinements at a pressure of 5.5 GPa indicate that up to 28 guest molecules are inserted per unit cell and that this insertion is responsible for the reduced compressibility observed at high pressure. A phase transition to a new hexagonal structure with cell doubling along the a direction was observed above 4.4 GPa in fluid O2.

Abstract
Physical adsorption remains a promising method for achieving fast, reversible hydrogen storage at both ambient and cryogenic conditions. Research in this area has recently shifted to focus primarily on the volumetric (H2 stored/delivered per volume) gains achieved within an adsorptive storage system over that of pure H2 compression; however, the methodology for estimating a volumetric stored or delivered amount requires several assumptions related to the ultimate packing of the adsorbent material into an actual storage system volume. In this work, we critically review the different assumptions commonly employed, and thereby categorize and compare the volumetric storage and delivery across numerous different porous materials including benchmark metal-organic frameworks, porous carbons, and zeolites. In several cases, there is a significant gain in both storage and delivery by the addition of an adsorbent to the high-pressure H2 storage system over that of pure compression, even at room temperature. Lightweight, low-density materials remain the optimal adsorbents at low temperature, while higher density, open metal-containing frameworks are necessary for high-density room temperature storage and delivery.

Abstract
Our combined high-pressure synchrotron X-ray diffraction and Monte Carlo modeling studies show super-filling of the zeolite, and computational results suggest an occupancy by a maximum of nearly two inserted H2 molecules per framework unit, which is about twice that observed in gas hydrates. Super-filling prevents amorphization of the host material up to at least 60 GPa, which is a record pressure for zeolites and also for any group IV element being in full 4-fold coordination, except for carbon. We find that the inserted H2 forms an exotic topologically constrained glassy-like form, otherwise unattainable in pure hydrogen. Raman spectroscopy on confined H2 shows that the microporosity of the zeolite is retained over the entire investigated pressure range (up to 80 GPa) and that intermolecular interactions share common aspects with bulk hydrogen, while they are also affected by the zeolite framework.

Abstract
Empty spaces are abhorred by nature, which immediately rushes in to fill the void. Humans have learnt pretty well how to make ordered empty nanocontainers, and to get useful products out of them. When such an order is imparted to molecules, new properties may appear, often yielding advanced applications. This review illustrates how the organized void space inherently present in various materials: zeolites, clathrates, mesoporous silica/organosilica, and metal organic frameworks (MOF), for example, can be exploited to create confined, organized, and self-assembled supramolecular structures of low dimensionality. Features of the confining matrices relevant to organization are presented with special focus on molecular-level aspects. Selected examples of confined supramolecular assemblies - from small molecules to quantum dots or luminescent species - are aimed to show the complexity and potential of this approach. Natural confinement (minerals) and hyperconfinement (high pressure) provide further opportunities to understand and master the atomistic-level interactions governing supramolecular organization under nanospace restrictions.

Abstract
Amorphisation of poorly water-soluble drugs is one approach that can be applied to improve their solubility and thus their bioavailability. Amorphisation is a process that usually requires deliberate external energy input. However, amorphisation can happen both unintentionally, as in process-induced amorphisation during manufacturing, or in situ during dissolution, vaporisation, or lipolysis. The systems in which unintended and in situ amorphisation has been observed normally contain a drug and a carrier. Common carriers include polymers and mesoporous silica particles. However, the precise mechanisms by which in situ amorphisation occurs are often not fully understood. In situ amorphisation can be exploited and performed before administration of the drug or possibly even within the gastrointestinal tract, as can be inferred from in situ amorphisation observed during in vitro lipolysis. The use of in situ amorphisation can thus confer the advantages of the amorphous form, such as higher apparent solubility and faster dissolution rate, without the disadvantage of its physical instability.
