In this Minireview, we discuss the fundamental chemistry of soft porous crystals (SPCs) by
characterizing their common structural features and the resulting structural softness and …

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are an emerging class of molecular crystalline materials
built from metal ions or clusters bridged by organic linkers. By taking advantage of their …

When variance is encountered in reticular structures such as metal–organic frameworks, it
occurs as multiple kinds of functionalities bound and distributed in aperiodic lattices. In these …

Artificial molecular machines have captured the imagination of scientists and nonscientists
alike for decades now, given their clear potential to transform and enhance all aspects of …
