In a crystal, yet as in solution : Bulky reagents are sufficiently mobile in the pores of a porous network complex to react with imbedded substrates in a single‐crystal‐to‐single‐crystal fashion. Acylation and ureidation of amines and Schiff‐base formation from aldehydes occur efficiently. The pore of the complex thus serves as a crystalline molecular flask, where reaction products are simply determined by X‐ray crystallographic analysis.
