Porous Molecular Solids and Liquids

Until recently, porous molecular solids were isolated curiosities with properties that were eclipsed by porous frameworks, such as metal–organic frameworks. Now molecules have emerged as a functional materials platform that can have high levels of porosity, good chemical stability, and, uniquely, solution processability. The lack of intermolecular bonding in these materials has also led to new, counterintuitive states of matter, such as porous liquids. Our ability to design these materials has improved significantly due to advances in computational prediction methods.
