چکیده

Porous organic cage crystals can show unique properties, such as switching from being porous to non-porous in the solid state. Conformer interconversion plays a crucial role in this for the imine cage molecule, CC1. The barriers to interconversion were calculated and found to match experimentally determined values. Calculations suggest that solvent interactions reduce these activation barriers.

Collision-induced conformational changes in glycine.

We present quantum dynamical calculations on the conformational changes of glycine in collisions with the He, Ne, and Ar rare-gas atoms. For two conformer interconversion processes (III-->I and IV-->I), we find that the probability of interconversion is dependent on several factors, including the energy of the collision, the angle at which the colliding atom approaches the glycine molecule, and...

Porous organic cage crystals: characterising the porous crystal surface.

The characterisation of porous crystalline solids often relies on single crystal X-ray diffraction, which does not give direct information about the surface of the material. Here, crystals of a porous organic cage, CC3-R, are investigated by atomic force microscopy and shown to possess two distinct gas-solid interfaces, proving that the bulk crystal structure is preserved at the porous crystal ...

Oriented Two‐Dimensional Porous Organic Cage Crystals

The formation of two-dimensional (2D) oriented porous organic cage crystals (consisting of imine-based tetrahedral molecules) on various substrates (such as silicon wafers and glass) by solution-processing is reported. Insight into the crystallinity, preferred orientation, and cage crystal growth was obtained by experimental and computational techniques. For the first time, structural defects i...

Three-dimensional protonic conductivity in porous organic cage solids

Proton conduction is a fundamental process in biology and in devices such as proton exchange membrane fuel cells. To maximize proton conduction, three-dimensional conduction pathways are preferred over one-dimensional pathways, which prevent conduction in two dimensions. Many crystalline porous solids to date show one-dimensional proton conduction. Here we report porous molecular cages with pro...
