Porous molecular Crystals

Porous molecular Crystals

Porous molecular crystals are built on molecules able to assembly with an inefficient packing. So their extrinsic porosity define low density architectures, designed with weak interactions. We synthesized frameworks able to reversibly switch their conformation thanks to external stimuli.
