Amorphous Molecular Organic Solids for Gas Adsorption

Fixing the hole: Molecular organic compounds with large accessible internal cavities display gas‐storage ability in the amorphous solid state. This finding suggests for the first time that long‐range molecular order is not a prerequisite for organic molecules to be engineered as porous materials....

Summary:Fixing the hole: Molecular organic compounds with large accessible internal cavities display gas‐storage ability in the amorphous solid state. This finding suggests for the first time that long‐range molecular order is not a prerequisite for organic molecules to be engineered as porous materials.
