title: Crystallized frameworks with giant pores: are there limits to the possible?
abstract: In the domain of porous solids with inorganic or hybrid frameworks, the combination of mastered chemistry and of computer simulations pushes forward the limits of the classical approach and allows the full determination from powder diffraction data of architectures with cells of several hundred thousand cubic angstroms with hierarchies of giant pores and unprecedented Langmuir surfaces. The different limits induced by this new approach are analyzed.
