Abstract

Porous organic cages can act as hosts for the three-dimensional alignment of guests such as halogens and organometallics. Porous single crystals are doped by vapor sublimation to produce diamondoid arrangements of guests such as I(5)(-) and OsO(4), leading to marked conductivity enhancement in the case of I(5)(-).
