Direct time-resolved and spatially resolved monitoring of molecular transport in a crystalline nanochannel system.
Confocal Raman microspectrometry has been applied successfully as an in situ probe of the transport of guest molecules through the one-dimensional channel system in a crystalline inclusion compound, yielding insights into the spatial distribution of guest molecules and, in particular, the variation in the spatial distribution of the guest molecules as a function of time during the transport process.
