A strategy for making molecular networks that are porous and deformable is revealed by the behavior of compound 1, in which groups that form hydrogen bonds are attached to a nominally tetrahedral Si core. Compound 1 crystallizes from various carboxylic acids to produce a porous hydrogen-bonded diamondoid network, with up to 65% of the volume available for including guests. Changing the guests expands or contracts the network up to 30% in one direction, and single crystals can accommodate these exchange-induced deformations without loss of crystallinity. This resilience appears to result in part from the incorporation of flexible Si nodes in an otherwise robust network maintained by multiple hydrogen bonds. In certain cases, exchange is faster than deformation of the network, allowing the isolation of metastable structures with a new guest included in an otherwise unchanged network. Such processes can provide new materials that would be difficult or impossible to obtain in other ways.
