Extended Data Fig. 3: Hierarchical porous framework of right-handed supramolecular snub cubes.
a, A truncated octahedron (purple) located at the centre of the cubic-shaped architecture composed of eight right-handed SSCs. b, The truncated octahedron (purple) is located in the cavity of a large spherical supramolecular polyhedron with a diameter of 6.6 nm, which is assembled from 24 twisted macrocycles (8R)Cy-(4R)CE-TM portrayed with capped sticks. c, Each truncated octahedron is connected to its neighbours by six apertures with diameters of 1.7 nm. The total volume of the truncated octahedron and its six apertures is 25,797 Å3. d, Capped-stick representation of the hierarchical porous superstructure of right-handed SSCs containing two different cavities (orange and purple spheres) and two sets (e and f) of independent porous networks. e, One of the porous networks is composed of the interior cavities (orange spheres) of the right-handed SSCs, which are interconnected by six apertures with diameters of 0.8 nm. f, The other set of porous networks consists of truncated octahedra (purple), interconnected by six apertures with diameters of 1.7 nm.
