A quadratic network of mutually intersecting channels with single-file
confinement is considered as a host system for molecules A undergoing a unidirectional
reaction 
in the channel intersections. If each of the two sets of perpendicular
channels is able to accommodate only one of the two types of molecular species,
the overall particle concentration deviates significantly from being homogeneous.
Under these conditions, the effective reactivity may substantially exceed
that in an equivalent system without mutual particle exclusion.
