Crystalline microporous (or nanoporous) solids are widely sought and studied.[1] Such materials provide challenges for crystal engineering and find applications in catalysis, separation techniques, gas storage, sensors, lasers, and so forth. Robust structures with large voids are especially interesting, as they are able to accommodate the widest range of guests. Channels that measure! 1 nm in diameter are fairly common in inorganic [1a–c] and, especially, metal–organic-framework (MOF)[1c–g] materials. However, purely organic structures with such dimensions are rare, especially if macrocyclic molecules are excluded.[2] We now report a new class of nanoporous organic crystals with chiral, unidirectional channels, tunable to diameters in excess of 14. This discovery arose from our program on steroid-based anion receptors.[3] The “cholapod” 1 belongs to a series of compounds derived from cholic acid 2, in which hydrogen-
