Abstract
Organic cages can possess complex, functionalised cavities that make them promising candidates for synthetic enzyme mimics. Conformationally flexible, chemically robust structures are needed for adaptable guest binding and catalysis, but rapidly exchanging systems are difficult to resolve in solution. Here, we use low-cost calculations and high-throughput crystallisation to identify accessible conformers of a recently reported organic cage by 'locking' them in the solid state. The conformers exhibit varying distances between the internal carboxylic acid groups, suggesting adaptability for binding a wide array of target guest molecules.

Abstract
The reliability of organic molecular crystal structure prediction has improved tremendously in recent years. Crystal structure predictions for small, mostly rigid molecules are quickly becoming routine. Structure predictions for larger, highly flexible molecules are more challenging, but their crystal structures can also now be predicted with increasing rates of success. These advances are ushering in a new era where crystal structure prediction drives the experimental discovery of new solid forms. After briefly discussing the computational methods that enable successful crystal structure prediction, this perspective presents case studies from the literature that demonstrate how state-of-the-art crystal structure prediction can transform how scientists approach problems involving the organic solid state. Applications to pharmaceuticals, porous organic materials, photomechanical crystals, organic semi-conductors, and nuclear magnetic resonance crystallography are included. Finally, efforts to improve our understanding of which predicted crystal structures can actually be produced experimentally and other outstanding challenges are discussed.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are composed of small organic molecules linked via covalent bonds, which have tunable mesoporous structure, good biocompatibility and functional diversities. These excellent properties make COFs a promising candidate for constructing biomedical nanoplatforms and provide ample opportunities for nanomedicine development. A systematic review of the linkage types and synthesis methods of COFs is of indispensable value for their biomedical applications. In this review, we first summarize the types of various linkages of COFs and their corresponding properties. Then, we highlight the reaction temperature, solvent and reaction time required by different synthesis methods and show the most suitable synthesis method by comparing the merits and demerits of various methods. To appreciate the cutting-edge research on COFs in bioscience technology, we also summarize the bio-related applications of COFs, including drug delivery, tumor therapy, bioimaging, biosensing and antimicrobial applications. We hope to provide insight into the interdisciplinary research on COFs and promote the development of COF nanomaterials for biomedical applications and their future clinical translations.

Abstract
Hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) with low densities and high porosities are rare and challenging to design because most molecules have a strong energetic preference for close packing. Crystal structure prediction (CSP) can rank the crystal packings available to an organic molecule based on their relative lattice energies. This has become a powerful tool for the a priori design of porous molecular crystals. Previously, we combined CSP with structure-property predictions to generate energy-structure-function (ESF) maps for a series of triptycene-based molecules with quinoxaline groups. From these ESF maps, triptycene trisquinoxalinedione (TH5) was predicted to form a previously unknown low-energy HOF (TH5-A) with a remarkably low density of 0.374 g cm-3 and three-dimensional (3D) pores. Here, we demonstrate the reliability of those ESF maps by discovering this TH5-A polymorph experimentally. This material has a high accessible surface area of 3,284 m2 g-1 , as measured by nitrogen adsorption, making it one of the most porous HOFs reported to date.

Abstract
Porous organic cages (POCs) are a relatively new class of low-density crystalline materials that have emerged as a versatile platform for investigating molecular recognition, gas storage and separation, and proton conduction, with potential applications in the fields of porous liquids, highly permeable membranes, heterogeneous catalysis, and microreactors. In common with highly extended porous structures, such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and porous organic polymers (POPs), POCs possess all of the advantages of highly specific surface areas, porosities, open pore channels, and tunable structures. In addition, they have discrete molecular structures and exhibit good to excellent solubilities in common solvents, enabling their solution dispersibility and processability─properties that are not readily available in the case of the well-established, insoluble, extended porous frameworks. Here, we present a critical review summarizing in detail recent progress and breakthroughs─especially during the past five years─of all the POCs while taking a close look at their strategic design, precise synthesis, including both irreversible bond-forming chemistry and dynamic covalent chemistry, advanced characterization, and diverse applications. We highlight representative POC examples in an attempt to gain some understanding of their structure-function relationships. We also discuss future challenges and opportunities in the design, synthesis, characterization, and application of POCs. We anticipate that this review will be useful to researchers working in this field when it comes to designing and developing new POCs with desired functions.

Abstract
As rationally designable materials, the variety and number of synthesised metal-organic cages (MOCs) and organic cages (OCs) are expected to grow in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD). In this regard, two of the most important questions are, which structures are already present in the CSD and how can they be identified? Here, we present a cage mining methodology based on topological data analysis and a combination of supervised and unsupervised learning that led to the derivation of - to the best of our knowledge - the first and only MOC dataset of 1839 structures and the largest experimental OC dataset of 7736 cages, as of March 2022. We illustrate the use of such datasets with a high-throughput screening of MOCs and OCs for xenon/krypton separation, important gases in multiple industries, including healthcare.

Abstract
Metal-organic polyhedra (MOPs) are hybrid organic-inorganic nanomolecules, whose rational design depends on harmonious consideration of chemical complementarity and spatial compatibility between two or more types of chemical building units (CBUs). In this work, we apply knowledge engineering technology to automate the derivation of MOP formulations based on existing knowledge. For this purpose we have (i) curated relevant MOP and CBU data; (ii) developed an assembly model concept that embeds rules in the MOP construction; (iii) developed an OntoMOPs ontology that defines MOPs and their key properties; (iv) input agents that populate The World Avatar (TWA) knowledge graph; and (v) input agents that, using information from TWA, derive a list of new constructible MOPs. Our result provides rapid and automated instantiation of MOPs in TWA and unveils the immediate chemical space of known MOPs, thus shedding light on new MOP targets for future investigations.

Abstract
In this Perspective, we present the unique gas adsorption capabilities of porous liquids (PLs) and the value of complex computational methods in the design of PL compositions. Traditionally, liquids only contain transient pore space between molecules that limit long-term gas capture. However, PLs are stable fluids that that contain permanent porosity due to the combination of a rigid porous host structure and a solvent. PLs exhibit remarkable adsorption and separation properties, including increased solubility and selectivity. The unique gas adsorption properties of PLs are based on their structure, which exhibits multiple gas binding sites in the pore and on the cage surface, varying binding mechanisms including hydrogen-bonding and π-π interactions, and selective diffusion in the solvent. Tunable PL compositions will require fundamental investigations of competitive gas binding mechanisms, thermal effects on binding site stability, and the role of nanoconfinement on gas and solvent diffusion that can be accelerated through molecular modeling. With these new insights PLs promise to be an exceptional material class with tunable properties for targeted gas adsorption.

Abstract
Metal-organic cages are macrocyclic structures that can possess an intrinsic void that can hold molecules for encapsulation, adsorption, sensing, and catalysis applications. As metal-organic cages may be comprised from nearly any combination of organic and metal-containing components, cages can form with diverse shapes and sizes, allowing for tuning toward targeted properties. Therefore, their near-infinite design space is almost impossible to explore through experimentation alone and computational design can play a crucial role in exploring new systems. Although high-throughput computational design and screening workflows have long been known as powerful tools in drug and materials discovery, their application in exploring metal-organic cages is more recent. We show examples of structure prediction and host-guest/catalytic property evaluation of metal-organic cages. These examples are facilitated by advances in methods that handle metal-containing systems with improved accuracy and are the beginning of the development of automated cage design workflows. We finally outline a scope for how high-throughput computational methods can assist and drive experimental decisions as the field pushes toward functional and complex metal-organic cages. In particular, we highlight the importance of considering realistic, flexible systems.

Abstract
The manner of bonding between constituent atoms or molecules invariably influences the properties of materials. Perhaps no material family is more emblematic of this than porous frameworks, wherein the namesake modes of connectivity give rise to discrete subclasses with unique collections of properties. However, established framework classes often display offsetting advantages and disadvantages for a given application. Thus, there exists no universally applicable material, and the discovery of alternative modes of framework connectivity is highly desirable. Here we show that chalcogen bonding, a subclass of σ-hole bonding, is a viable mode of connectivity in low-density porous frameworks. Crystallization studies with the triptycene tris(1,2,5-selenadiazole) molecular tecton reveal how chalcogen bonding can template high-energy lattice structures and how solvent conditions can be rationalized to obtain molecularly programmed porous chalcogen-bonded organic frameworks (ChOFs). These results provide the first evidence that σ-hole bonding can be used to advance the diversity of porous framework materials.

Abstract
Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) have long been recognized as a prominent subset of the metal-organic framework (MOF) family, in part because of their ease of synthesis and good thermal and chemical stability, alongside attractive properties for diverse potential applications. Prototypical ZIFs like ZIF-8 have become embodiments of the significant promise held by porous coordination polymers as next-generation designer materials. At the same time, their intriguing property of experiencing significant structural changes upon the application of external stimuli such as temperature, mechanical pressure, guest adsorption, or electromagnetic fields, among others, has placed this family of MOFs squarely under the umbrella of stimuli-responsive materials. In this review, we provide an overview of the current understanding of the triggered structural and electronic responses observed in ZIFs (linker and bond dynamics, crystalline and amorphous phase changes, luminescence, etc.). We then describe the state-of-the-art experimental and computational methodology capable of shedding light on these complex phenomena, followed by a comprehensive summary of the stimuli-responsive nature of four prototypical ZIFs: ZIF-8, ZIF-7, ZIF-4, and ZIF-zni. We further expose the relevant challenges for the characterization and fundamental understanding of responsive ZIFs, including how to take advantage of their flexible properties for new application avenues.

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
Porous materials contain regions of empty space into which guest molecules can be selectively adsorbed and sometimes chemically transformed. This has made them useful in both industrial and domestic applications, ranging from gas separation, energy storage and ion exchange to heterogeneous catalysis and green chemistry. Porous materials are often ordered (crystalline) solids. Order-or uniformity-is frequently held to be advantageous, or even pivotal, to our ability to engineer useful properties in a rational way. Here we highlight the growing evidence that topological disorder can be useful in creating alternative properties in porous materials. In particular, we highlight here several concepts for the creation of novel porous liquids, rationalize routes to porous glasses and provide perspectives on applications for porous liquids and glasses.

Abstract
With an increasing need to develop carbon capture technologies, research regarding the use of cage-based porous materials has garnered great interest. Typically, the study of gas adsorption in porous organic cages (POCs) has focused on the gas uptake inside the cage cavity. By using molecular dynamics simulation, this study reveals the presence of eight sites outside the cavity of a 15-crown-5 ether-substituted imine-linked POC which could enhance carbon dioxide adsorption capacity. Adsorption on these sites is likely stabilized by the functional groups on the cage vertices and the imine groups on the faces of the POC. These external adsorption sites have a higher CO2 adsorption capacity and greater sensitivity to temperature and pressure changes than the sites within the cage cavity. These characteristics are particularly favourable for applications based on pressure- and temperature-swing separation.

Abstract
We present a novel synthesis strategy termed delayed linker addition (DLA) to synthesize hybrid zeolitic-imidazolate frameworks containing unsubstituted imidazolate linkers (Im) with SOD topology (hereafter termed Im/ZIF-8). Im linker incorporation can create larger voids and apertures, which are important properties for gas storage and separation. To date, there have been only a handful of reports of Im linkers incorporated into ZIF-8 frameworks, typically requiring arduous and complicated post synthesis approaches. DLA, as reported here, is a simple one-step synthesis strategy allowing high incorporation of Im linker into the ZIF-8 framework while still retaining its SOD topology. We fabricated mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) with 6FDA-DAM polymer and Im/ZIF-8 obtained via DLA as a filler. The Im/ZIF-8-containing MMMs showed excellent performance for both propylene/propane and n-butane/i-butane separation, displaying permeability and ideal selectivity well above the polymer upper bound. Moreover, highly detailed molecular simulations shed light to the aperture size and flexibility response of Im/ZIF-8 and its improved diffusivity as compared to ZIF-8.

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
Organic materials find application in a range of areas, including optoelectronics, sensing, encapsulation, molecular separations, and photocatalysis. The discovery of materials is frustratingly slow however, particularly when contrasted to the vast chemical space of possibilities based on the near limitless options for organic molecular precursors. The difficulty in predicting the material assembly, and consequent properties, of any molecule is another significant roadblock to targeted materials design. There has been significant progress in the development of computational approaches to screen large numbers of materials, for both their structure and properties, helping guide synthetic researchers toward promising materials. In particular, artificial intelligence techniques have the potential to make significant impact in many elements of the discovery process. Alongside this, automation and robotics are increasing the scale and speed with which materials synthesis can be realized. Herein, the focus is on demonstrating the power of integrating computational and experimental materials discovery programmes, including both a summary of key situations where approaches can be combined and a series of case studies that demonstrate recent successes.

Abstract
The assembly of complex molecules, such as organic cages, can be achieved through supramolecular and dynamic covalent strategies. Their use in a range of applications has been demonstrated, including gas uptake, molecular separations, and in catalysis. However, the targeted design and synthesis of new species for particular applications is challenging, particularly as the systems become more complex. High-throughput computation-only and experiment-only approaches have been developed to streamline the discovery process, although are still not widely implemented. Additionally, combined hybrid workflows can dramatically accelerate the discovery process and lead to the serendipitous discovery and rationalisation of new supramolecular assemblies that would not have been designed based on intuition alone. This Minireview focuses on the advances in high-throughput approaches that have been developed and applied in the discovery of supramolecular organic cages.

Abstract
The adsorption-desorption behavior of fluorine, chlorine, and bromine molecules onto a crystalline porous organic cage, namely CC3-R was calculated at different temperatures using molecular dynamics (MD) and grand-canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations. Self-diffusion coefficients, radial distribution functions (RDF), and adsorption isotherms were calculated for this purpose. The results show that CC3-R has varied capacities to capture these halogens at ambient and high temperatures, so that the thermal release of fluorine is completed with increasing temperature up to around 70°C and chlorine molecules remain at the CC3-R surface up to 100°C and all bromine molecules are removed from the CC3-R surface at 200°C. We found that bromine self-diffusion was almost independent of temperature between 0 and 100°C in contrast to fluorine and chlorine. Among different diffusion regimes, Knudsen diffusion appears to have an important role in the adsorption of heavy halogens at higher temperatures.

Abstract
The emerging advanced porous materials, e.g. extended framework materials and porous molecular materials, offer an unprecedented level of control of their structure and function. The enormous possibilities for tuning these materials by changing their building blocks mean that, in principle, optimally performing materials for a variety of applications can be systematically designed. However, the process of finding a set of optimal structures for a given application requires computational high-throughput tools to analyze and sieve through many candidate materials. In particular, in the case of porous molecular materials, the analysis and selection of a molecule is one of the key aspects as the structure of the molecule determines the structure of the resulting material, and very often the porosity of the molecule significantly contributes to the porous properties of the resulting material. In this work, we introduce definitions and algorithms to characterize porosity at the molecular level, along with a software implementation of these algorithms. We demonstrate applications of the software tool in the discovery and characterization of porous molecules among ca. 94 million molecules currently enlisted in the PubChem database.

Abstract
Exploring advanced porous materials is of critical importance in the development of science and technology. Porous polymers, being famous for their all-organic components, tailored pore structures, and adjustable chemical components, have attracted an increasing level of research interest in a large number of applications, including gas adsorption/storage, separation, catalysis, environmental remediation, energy, optoelectronics, and health. Recent years have witnessed tremendous research breakthroughs in these fields thanks to the unique pore structures and versatile skeletons of porous polymers. Here, recent milestones in the diverse applications of porous polymers are presented, with an emphasis on the structural requirements or parameters that dominate their properties and functionalities. The Review covers the following applications: i) gas adsorption, ii) water treatment, iii) separation, iv) heterogeneous catalysis, v) electrochemical energy storage, vi) precursors for porous carbons, and vii) other applications (e.g., intelligent temperature control textiles, sensing, proton conduction, biomedicine, optoelectronics, and actuators). The key requirements for each application are discussed and an in-depth understanding of the structure-property relationships of these advanced materials is provided. Finally, a perspective on the future research directions and challenges in this field is presented for further studies.

Abstract
The chemical and structural space of possible molecular materials is enormous, as they can, in principle, be built from any combination of organic building blocks. Here we have developed an evolutionary algorithm (EA) that can assist in the efficient exploration of chemical space for molecular materials, helping to guide synthesis to materials with promising applications. We demonstrate the utility of our EA to porous organic cages, predicting both promising targets and identifying the chemical features that emerge as important for a cage to be shape persistent or to adopt a particular cavity size. We identify that shape persistent cages require a low percentage of rotatable bonds in their precursors (<20%) and that the higher topicity building block in particular should use double bonds for rigidity. We can use the EA to explore what size ranges for precursors are required for achieving a given pore size in a cage and show that 16 Å pores, which are absent in the literature, should be synthetically achievable. Our EA implementation is adaptable and easily extendable, not only to target specific properties of porous organic cages, such as optimal encapsulants or molecular separation materials, but also to any easily calculable property of other molecular materials.

Abstract
The assembly of coordination polymers from metal ions and organic moieties is currently attracting considerable attention in crystal engineering due to their intriguing architectures and potential applications as functional materials. A new coordination polymer, namely poly[[μ2-trans-1,2-bis(pyridin-3-yl)ethylene-κ2N:N']bis(μ4-4,4'-oxydibenzoato-κ6O:O,O':O'':O'',O''')dicadmium(II)], [Cd2(C14H8O5)2(C12H10N2)]n or [Cd2(4,4'-OBB)2(3,3'-BPE)]n, has been synthesized by the the self-assembly of Cd(NO3)2·4H2O, 4,4'-oxydibenzoic acid (4,4'-H2OBB) and trans-1,2-bis(pyridin-3-yl)ethene (3,3'-BPE) under hydrothermal conditions. The title compound was structurally characterized by IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Each CdII centre is coordinated by six carboxylate O atoms from four different 4,4'-OBB2- ligands and by one pyridyl N atom form a 3,3'-BPE ligand. Adjacent crystallographically equivalent CdII ions are bridged by 4,4'-OBB2- ligands, affording a two-dimensional [Cd(4,4'-OBB)]n net extending in the ac plane. Neighbouring [Cd(4,4'-OBB)]n nets are interlinked by 3,3'-BPE along the b axis to form a three-dimensional (3D) [Cd2(4,4'-OBB)2(3,3'-BPE)]n coordination network. In the network, each CdII centre is linked by four different 4,4'-OBB2- ligands and one 3,3'-BPE ligand. Meanwhile, each 4,4'-OBB2- ligand connects four separate CdII ions. Therefore, if the 4,4'-OBB2- ligands and CdII ions are considered as 4- and 5-connecting nodes, the structure of the title compound can be simplified as a 3D (4,5)-connected binodal framework with the rare (4462)(4466) TCS topology (Pearson, 1985; Blake et al., 2011). The thermal stability and photoluminescence properties of the title compound have also been investigated.

Abstract
Some of the most successful approaches to structural design in materials chemistry have exploited strong directional bonds, whose geometric reliability lends predictability to solid-state assembly. For example, metal-organic frameworks are an important design platform in materials chemistry. By contrast, the structure of molecular crystals is defined by a balance of weaker intermolecular forces, and small changes to the molecular building blocks can lead to large changes in crystal packing. Hence, empirical rules are inherently less reliable for engineering the structures of molecular solids. Energy-structure-function (ESF) maps are a new approach for the discovery of functional organic crystals. These maps fuse crystal-structure prediction with the computation of physical properties to allow researchers to choose the most promising molecule for a given application, prior to its synthesis. ESF maps were used recently to discover a highly porous molecular crystal that has a high methane deliverable capacity and the lowest density molecular crystal reported to date (r = 0.41 g cm-3 , SABET = 3425 m2 g-1 ). Progress in this field is reviewed, with emphasis on the future opportunities and challenges for a design strategy based on computed ESF maps.

Abstract
Understanding the structure-property relationship of solids is of utmost relevance for efficient chemical processes and technological applications in industries. This contribution reviews the concept of coupling three well-known characterization techniques (solid-state NMR, FT-IR and computational methods) for the study of solid state materials which possess 2D and 3D architectures and discusses the way it will benefit the scientific communities. It highlights the most fundamental and applied aspects of the proactive combined approach strategies to gather information at a molecular level. The integrated approach involving multiple spectroscopic and computational methods allows achieving an in-depth understanding of the surface, interfacial and confined space processes that are beneficial for the establishment of structure-property relationships. The role of ssNMR/FT-IR spectroscopic properties of probe molecules in monitoring the strength and distribution of catalytic active sites and their accessibility at the porous/layered surface is discussed. Both experimental and theoretical aspects will be considered by reporting relevant examples. This review also identifies and discusses the progress, challenges and future prospects in the field of synthesis and applications of layered and porous solids.

Abstract
In recent years, the design and construction of crystalline coordination complexes by the assembly of metal ions with multitopic ligands have attracted considerable attention because of the unique architectures and potential applications of these compounds. Two new coordination polymers, namely poly[[μ-trans-1-(2-aminopyridin-3-yl)-2-(pyridin-4-yl)ethene-κ2N:N'](μ3-5-methylisophthalato-κ4O1,O1':O3:O3')cadmium(II)], [Cd(C9H6O4)(C12H11N3)]n or [Cd(5-Me-ip)(2-NH2-3,4-bpe)]n, (I), and poly[[μ-trans-1-(2-aminopyridin-3-yl)-2-(pyridin-4-yl)ethene-κ2N:N'](μ2-5-hydroxyisophthalato-κ4O1,O1':O3:O5)cadmium(II)], [Cd(C8H4O5)(C12H11N3)]n or [Cd(5-HO-ip)(2-NH2-3,4-bpe)]n, (II), have been prepared hydrothermally by the self-assembly of Cd(NO3)2·4H2O and trans-1-(2-aminopyridin-3-yl)-2-(pyridin-4-yl)ethene (2-NH2-3,4-bpe) with two similar dicarboxylic acids, i.e. 5-methylisophthalic acid (5-Me-H2ip) and 5-hydroxyisophthalic acid (5-HO-H2ip). The coordination network of (I) is a two-dimensional sql net parallel to (101). Adjacent sql nets are further linked to form a three-dimensional supramolecular framework via hydrogen-bonding interactions. Compound (II) is a two-dimensional (3,5)-connected coordination network parallel to (010) with the point symbol (63)(55647). As the other reactants and reaction conditions are the same, the structural differences between (I) and (II) are undoubtedly determined by the different substituent groups in the 5-position of isophthalic acid. Both (I) and (II) exhibit good thermal stabilities and photoluminescence properties.

Abstract
As a class of multifunctional materials, crystalline supramolecular complexes have attracted much attention because of their unique architectures, intriguing topologies and potential applications. In this article, a new supramolecular compound, namely catena-poly[4,4'-(buta-1,3-diene-1,4-diyl)dipyridin-1-ium [(μ4-benzene-1,2,4,5-tetracarboxylato-κ6O1,O1':O2:O4,O4':O5)cadmium(II)]], {(C14H14N2)[Cd(C10H2O8)]}n or {(1,4-H2bpbd)[Cd(1,2,4,5-btc)]}n, has been prepared by the self-assembly of Cd(NO3)2·4H2O, benzene-1,2,4,5-tetracarboxylic acid (1,2,4,5-H4btc) and 1,4-bis(pyridin-4-yl)buta-1,3-diene (1,4-bpbd) under hydrothermal conditions. The title compound has been structurally characterized by IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, powder X-ray diffraction and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Each CdII centre is coordinated by six O atoms from four different (1,2,4,5-btc)4- tetraanions. Each CdII cation, located on a site of twofold symmetry, binds to four carboxylate groups belonging to four separate (1,2,4,5-btc)4- ligands. Each (1,2,4,5-btc)4- anion, situated on a position of -1 symmetry, binds to four crystallographically equivalent CdII centres. Neighbouring CdII cations interconnect bridging (1,2,4,5-btc)4- anions to form a three-dimensional {[Cd(1,2,4,5-btc)]2-}n anionic coordination network with infinite tubular channels. The channels are visible in both the [1-10] and the [001] direction. Such a coordination network can be simplified as a (4,4)-connected framework with the point symbol (4284)(4284). To balance the negative charge of the metal-carboxylate coordination network, the cavities of the network are occupied by protonated (1,4-H2bpbd)2+ cations that are located on sites of twofold symmetry. In the crystal, there are strong hydrogen-bonding interactions between the anionic coordination network and the (1,4-H2bpbd)2+ cations. Considering the hydrogen-bonding interactions, the structure can be further regarded as a three-dimensional (4,6)-connected supramolecular architecture with the point symbol (4264)(42687·84). The thermal stability and photoluminescence properties of the title compound have been investigated.

Abstract
Supramolecular synthesis is a powerful strategy for assembling complex molecules, but to do this by targeted design is challenging. This is because multicomponent assembly reactions have the potential to form a wide variety of products. High-throughput screening can explore a broad synthetic space, but this is inefficient and inelegant when applied blindly. Here we fuse computation with robotic synthesis to create a hybrid discovery workflow for discovering new organic cage molecules, and by extension, other supramolecular systems. A total of 78 precursor combinations were investigated by computation and experiment, leading to 33 cages that were formed cleanly in one-pot syntheses. Comparison of calculations with experimental outcomes across this broad library shows that computation has the power to focus experiments, for example by identifying linkers that are less likely to be reliable for cage formation. Screening also led to the unplanned discovery of a new cage topology-doubly bridged, triply interlocked cage catenanes.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
This paper is derived from my ‘closing remarks’ lecture at the 287th Faraday Discussions meeting on New Directions in Porous Crystalline Materials, Edinburgh, UK, 5–7 June, 2017. This meeting comprised sessions on the design of porous networks, and their capture, storage, separation, conducting properties, catalysts, resistance to chemicals and moisture, simulation, and electronic structures. This paper details the achievements and developments in the field, as reflected in invited speakers’ papers and discussions with the attendees during the meeting.
