title: Free transport of water and CO2 in nonporous hydrophobic clarithromycin form II crystals.
abstract: Clarithromycin is a well-known antibiotic that exists in various polymorphic forms. This molecule can be sublimed to afford a guest-free form that displays the unexpected transport of molecules of water or carbon dioxide to voids within the channel-free crystal lattice.
