%X Towards the goal of nanoscale molecular systems, little work has been undertaken on ionic solutions at the nanoscale (&#8216;nanosolution&#8217;, NSN). Functional nanoporous materials can be applied to confine, and thereby allow study of molecular assemblies and NSNs; electrically neutral hydrophobic pores reveal a particularly marked confinement effect. This article summarizes the properties and structures of molecules confined within nanospaces and the pioneering work on the distorted and partially dehydrated structures of NSNs.
