Here we analyze the evolution of the melting mechanism that occurs in pores <3 nm in size. Melting in slit-shaped graphene pores is compared with melting in SURMOF channel pores with square cross-sections. We show how the melting transformation is related to the adsorption mechanism. We use a graphical representation of the evolution of molecular density as a function of temperature in the nanopores. %G English %2 https://amu.hal.science/hal-01813863/document %2 https://amu.hal.science/hal-01813863/file/s00894-017-3211-5.pdf %L hal-01813863 %U https://amu.hal.science/hal-01813863 %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-AMU %~ L2C %~ INC-CNRS %~ MADIREL %~ MIPS %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ TEST-HALCNRS %~ UM-2015-2021 %~ TEST2-HALCNRS
