Abstract
Keep the cage filled: Two large organic cages (see example) with void diameters of 1.2 nm were synthesized through [8+12] imine condensation reactions. The materials become amorphous upon solvent removal and show little permanent porosity. Molecular dynamics simulations give an insight into the mechanism of these processes, suggesting strategies for synthesizing larger shape-persistent organic cages in the future.
