[Cu4(L)2(CH3L)2], and [Cu4(L)(CH3L)3], respectively, as determined from the N2 adsorption isotherms (Fig. , and Fig. ). This trend is rare in metal-organic cages, and we could only identify one other example where scrambling the cages in this way led to higher surface areas than for the respective homoleptic cages, reported by Lerma-Berlanga and co-workers. In contrast to the family [Cu4(MeOL)4-x(CH3L)x], post-sorption analysis of the cages [Cu4(L)4-x(CH3L)x] (x = 0, 1, 2, and 3) showed that all of the cages were fully activated, with no remaining MeOH in the 1 H-NMR spectra collected subsequent to digestion (Fig. ). The remaining post-sorption analysis of the samples via IR spectroscopy and PXRD (Fig. ) confirm that the materials retain the packing of the MeOH solvated phases upon completion of gas sorption measurements.
