Solvent diffusion and binding in a ‘nonporous’ molecular crystal

Crystals of a series of solvated cadmium-based metallocycles undergo single-crystal to single-crystal transformations (SCTSCT) upon desolvation to yield an empty apohost; these transiently porous crystals then allow the diffusion of bulky solvent molecules.
