Analysis of small organic compounds inside molecular scaffolding

What is it about?

Small organic compounds can be difficult to analyse because they are oily or only available in tiny amounts. We achieved analysis of 13 small organic compounds by using crystal sponges to 'soak' them into molecular scaffolds which can then be viewed with X-ray diffraction. The paper investigates how molecules interact with each other and the scaffold around them.

Why is it important?

This represents the largest subset of organic compounds analysed so far and the compounds chosen have very similar structures, this enables better insight into their individual behaviours.
