Abstract

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 longrange molecular order is not a prerequisite for organic molecules to be engineered as porous materials. © 2009 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
