Abstract
Porous liquids are fluids with the permanent porosity, which can overcome the poor gas solubility limitations of conventional porous solid materials for three phase gas-liquid-solid reactions. However, preparation of porous liquids still requires the complicated and tedious use of porous hosts and bulky liquids. Herein, we develop a facile method to produce a porous metal-organic cage (MOC) liquid (Im-PL-Cage) by self-assembly of long polyethylene glycol (PEG)-imidazolium chain functional linkers, calixarene molecules and Zn ions. The Im-PL-Cage in neat liquid has permanent porosity and fluidity, endowing it with a high capacity of CO2 adsorption. Thus, the CO2 stored in an Im-PL-Cage can be efficiently converted to the value-added formylation product in the atmosphere, which far exceeds the porous MOC solid and nonporous PEG-imidazolium counterparts. This work offers a new method to prepare neat porous liquids for catalytic transformation of adsorbed gas molecules.

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
Porous materials are the subject of extensive research because of potential applications in areas such as gas adsorption and molecular separations. Until recently, most porous materials were solids, but there is now an emerging class of materials known as porous liquids. The incorporation of intrinsic porosity or cavities in a liquid can result in free-flowing materials that are capable of gas uptakes that are significantly higher than conventional non-porous liquids. A handful of porous liquids have also been investigated for gas separations. Until now, the release of gas from porous liquids has relied on molecular displacement (e.g., by adding small solvent molecules), pressure or temperature swings, or sonication. Here, we explore a new method of gas release which involves photoisomerisable porous liquids comprising a photoresponsive MOF dispersed in an ionic liquid. This results in the selective uptake of CO2 over CH4 and allows gas release to be controlled by using UV light.

Abstract
The possibility of creating well-controlled empty space within liquids is conceptually intriguing, and from an application perspective, full of potential. Since the concept of porous liquids (PLs) arose several years ago, research efforts in this field have intensified. This review highlights the design, synthesis, and applicability of PLs through a thorough examination of the current state-of-the-art. Following a detailed examination of the fundamentals of PLs, we examine the different synthetic approaches proposed to date, discuss the nature of PLs, and their pathway from the laboratory to practical application. Finally, possible challenges and opportunities are outlined.

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
Type II porous liquids, comprising intrinsically porous molecules dissolved in a liquid solvent, potentially combine the adsorption properties of porous adsorbents with the handling advantages of liquids. Previously, discovery of appropriate solvents to make porous liquids had been limited to direct experimental tests. We demonstrate an efficient screening approach for this task that uses COSMO-RS calculations, predictions of solvent pKa values from a machine-learning model, and several other features and apply this approach to select solvents from a library of more than 11,000 compounds. This method is shown to give qualitative agreement with experimental observations for two molecular cages, CC13 and TG-TFB-CHEDA, identifying solvents with higher solubility for these molecules than had previously been known. Ultimately, the algorithm streamlines the downselection of suitable solvents for porous organic cages to enable more rapid discovery of Type II porous liquids.

Abstract
An uncharged, water-soluble per-ethylene-glycol pillar[5]arene derivative (1) was synthesized and its aggregation mode, host-guest chemistry in water and extraction ability was explored. Compound 1 is a liquid at room temperature; in water, limited self-aggregation occurred at high concentrations as deduced from diffusion NMR and dynamic light scattering. Compound 1 forms pseudo-rotaxane-like 1 : 1 host-guest complexes with 1,ω-di-substituted alkanes with association constants on the order of 103 -104 m-1 . Interestingly, NMR experiments showed that the guest location relative to the host ring system differs among the different complexes. In proof-of-concept experiments, compound 1 was shown to extract structurally related organic compounds from benzene into water with significant selectivity. Compound 1, which is a liquid at room temperature and has only limited interactions with its side arms, can, in principle, be regarded as a complement to or as a kind of type I porous liquid.

Abstract
Based on silica hollow nanospheres grafted with an ionic shell, silica-based type I porous liquids remain poorly exploited, despite their huge versatility. We propose here to explore the main synthesis step of these promising materials with a thorough characterization approach to evaluate their structural and porous properties. Modifying the main synthesis parameter, the mechanism of the spheres’ formation is clarified and shows that the calcination temperature, the surfactant concentration as well as the micelle swelling agent concentration allow tuning not only the size of the nanospheres and internal cavities, but also the silica shell microporosity and, therefore, the accessibility of the internal cavities. This study highlights the key parameters of hollow silica nanospheres, which are at the basis of type I porous liquids synthesis with optimized structural and porous properties.

Abstract
Permanent pores combined with fluidity renders flow processability to porous liquids otherwise not seen in porous solids. Although porous liquids have been utilized for sequestration of different gases and their separation, there is still a dearth of studies for deploying in situ chemical reactions to convert adsorbed gases into utility chemicals. Here, we show the design and development of a new type of solvent-less and hybrid (meso-)porous liquid composite, which, as demonstrated for the first time, can be used for in situ carbon mineralization of adsorbed CO2 . The recyclable porous liquid composite comprising polymer-surfactant modified hollow silica nanorods and carbonic anhydrase enzyme not only sequesters (5.5 cm3 g-1 at 273 K and 1 atm) and stores CO2 but is also capable of driving an in situ enzymatic reaction for hydration of CO2 to HCO3 - ion, subsequently converting it to CaCO3 due to reaction with pre-dissolved Ca2+ . Light and electron microscopy combined with X-ray diffraction reveals the nucleation and growth of calcite and aragonite crystals. Moreover, the liquid-like property of the porous composite material can be harnessed by executing the same reaction via diffusion of complimentary Ca2+ and HCO3 - ions through different compartments separated by an interfacial channel. These studies provide a proof of concept of deploying chemical reactions within porous liquids for developing utility chemical from adsorbed molecules.

Abstract
The unique applications of porous metal-organic framework (MOF) liquids with permanent porosity and fluidity have attracted significant attention. However, fabrication of porous MOF liquids remains challenging because of the easy intermolecular self-filling of the cavity or the rapid settlement of porous hosts in hindered solvents that cannot enter their pores. Herein, we report a facile strategy for the fabrication of a MOF liquid (Im-UiO-PL) by surface ionization of an imidazolium-functionalized framework with a sterically hindered poly(ethylene glycol) sulfonate (PEGS) canopy. The Im-UiO-PL obtained in this way has a CO2 adsorption approximately 14 times larger than that of pure PEGS. Distinct from a porous MOF solid counterpart, the stored CO2 in Im-UiO-PL can be slowly released and efficiently utilized to synthesize cyclic carbonates in the atmosphere. This is the first example of the use of a porous MOF liquid as a CO2 storage material for catalysis. It offers a new method for the fabrication of unique porous liquid MOFs with functional behaviors in various fields of gas adsorption and catalysis.

Abstract
Discrete molecular soft cages integrate multiple functionalities in one molecule. They express their functions from the confined space in their cavity, functional groups in the cavity interior wall and exterior wall, and the chelating nodes in many chelating cages. Such functional integrity render cage molecules special applications in material engineering. Increasing applications of cage molecules in material design have been reported in recent years. Compared with other cavity-rich molecular structures such as metal-organic framework (MOF) or covalent organic frameworks (COF), discrete soft cages present the unique advantage of material design flexibility, that they can easily composite with nanoparticles or polymers and exist in materials of various forms. We document the development of cage-based materials in recent years and expect to further inspire materials engineering to integrate contribution from the functionality specificity of cage molecules and ultimately promote the development of functional materials and thus human life qualities.

Abstract
Here we report the subcomponent self-assembly of a truxene-faced Zn4 L4 tetrahedron, which is capable of binding the smallest hydrocarbons in solution. By deliberately incorporating inward-facing ethyl groups on the truxene faces, the resulting partially-filled cage cavity was tailored to encapsulate methane, ethane, and ethene via van der Waals interactions at atmospheric pressure in acetonitrile, and also in the amorphous solid state. Interestingly, gas capture showed divergent selectivities in solution and the amorphous solid state. The selective binding may prove useful in designing new processes for the purification of methane and ethane as feedstocks for chemical synthesis.

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
Porous liquids, a new porous material with fluidity, can be applied in numerous fields, such as gas storage and/or separation. In this work, the separation of binary gas mixtures CO2/N2 and CO2/CH4 with porous liquids was examined by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The pure gas adsorption capacity was analyzed with different concentrations of porous liquids. The dependence of the separation effect of a gas mixture on the total pressure and temperature was investigated. Meanwhile, for both CO2/N2 and CO2/CH4 systems, the adsorption and separation effects of porous liquids with a cage:solvent ratio of 1:12 are better than those of 1:91 and 1:170. The results of the spatial distribution function and/or trajectories indicated that porous liquids prefer CO2, leading to the location of CO2 in the channels formed in porous liquids. However, N2 and CH4 are hardly adsorbed into the bulk. The diffusion of gas molecules follows the order of CO2 > N2 (for CO2/N2) and CH4 > CO2 (for CO2/CH4) in the bulk and N2 > CO2 (for CO2/N2) and CH4 > CO2 (for CO2/CH4) at the interface of porous liquids. Upon increasing the concentrations of porous liquids, the working capacities of CO2 show small decreases in CO2/N2 and CO2/CH4 systems, but the sorbent selection parameters are higher in pressure- and temperature-swing adsorption processes. The porous liquid with a cage:solvent ratio of 1:12 is more suitable for the separation of CO2/N2 and CO2/CH4 systems than ratios of 1:91 and 1:170.
