A method of delivering or sequestering anesthetic agents by adsorption of such agents by porous partially fluorinated compounds which display high weight adsorption capacities. Such compounds have a non-covalent organic framework with a central ring, such as hexa, tetra, tri or di substituted benzenes which may be substituted or unsubstituted with alternating electron poor and electron rich groups such as tetra-, tri-, or di-fluorobenzenes, oligocyanobenzenes, oligochlorobenzene, and benzene, pirydone, triazole, pyrazole, pyridine, and substituted benzenes so that the compound forms a porous supramolecular structure; and adsorbs the anesthetic agent within the pores of a the compound.

Adsorption of fluorinated anesthetics within the pores of molecular crystals

One-step cyanide-catalyzed benzoin condensations for synthesizing shape persistent cyclobenzoin macrocycles. Selected dialdehydes, and cyanide salts are reacted in aqueous solvents to form such cyclobenzoin macrocycles.
