Abstract | Small changes in molecular structure and crystallisation conditions can have a profound effect on the crystal packing of molecules. Increasing the system complexity-for example, by introducing multiple components-greatly increases the number of potential outcomes. Hence, the rational design of porous cocrystals with multiple components is challenging. Here, we report a family of isoreticular quasiracemate crystalline phases for porous organic cages, FT-RCC3-R center dot CCX-S (where X = 1, 2, or 4), that were prepared in a modular and predictable fashion. By using directional intermolecular interactions between cages, we were able to prepare a rare ternary co-crystal, (CC3-S(0.5)CC4-S-0.5)center dot(CC13-S(0.5)CC3-S(0.25)CC4-S-0.25). |
