Graphical Abstract

Nur gefüllt stabil: Zwei große organische Käfige (siehe Beispiel) mit Hohlraumdurchmessern von 1.2 nm wurden durch [8+12]-Iminkondensation erhalten. Die Materialien werden beim Entfernen des Lösungsmittels amorph und zeigen kaum permanente Porosität. Moleküldynamiksimulationen geben Einblicke in den Mechanismus dieser Abläufe, woraus Strategien für die Synthese großer formbeständiger organischer Käfige ableitbar sind.
