In contrast, the number of organic cages featuring a pair of cavities remains scarce. These structures may pave the way towards novel porous materials with emergent properties and functions.We herein report on rational design of a three-dimensional hexaformyl precursor 1, which exhibits two types of conformers, i.e. Conformer-1 and -2, with different cleft positions and sizes. Aided by molecular dynamics simulations, we select two triamino conformation capturers (denoted CC). Small-sized CC-1 selectively capture Conformer-1 by matching its cleft size, while the large-sized CC-2 is able to match and capture both conformers. This strategy allows the formation of three compounds with twin cavities, which we coin diphane. The self-assembly of diphane units results in superstructures with tunable proton conductivity, which reaches up to 1.37\u00d710<sup>-5<\/sup> S cm<sup>-1<\/sup>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DOI: 10.1038\/s41467-021-26397-3 Authors: Zhenyu Yang, Chunyang Yu, Junjie Ding, Lihua Chen, Huiyu Liu, Yangzhi Ye, Pan Li, Jiaolong Chen, Kim Jiayi Wu, Qiang\u2010Yu Zhu, Yu\u2010Quan Zhao, Xiaoning Liu, Xiaodong Zhuang, Shaodong Zhang Abstract: A variety of organic cages with different geometries have been developed during the last decade, most of them exhibiting a single cavity.
