Molecular design of organic crystalline materials that have nanocavities with controlled size, shape, chirality, and chemical environment is of great interest in organic solid-state chemistry. 1, 2 However, fine-tuning of nanocavities is in its infancy3, 4 because there have been few robust structural motifs that construct unchanged 3D framework against chemical modification. We present herein a novel strategy for tuning nanocavities by the binary host compounds that consist of the traditional host compound and the adjustable secondary components. This system gives us a series of the host cavities with the controlled size and shape at the finest resolution.Deoxycholic acid (1) is one of the host compounds that forms molecular channels. 5 Inclusion complexes and the specific organic reactions in the crystalline state have been already well documented. 6, 7 Our strategy for the fine-tuning of the molecular cavities relies on the robust porous bilayer structure of alkylammonium salts of 1. The carboxylate anions construct a 3D framework with molecular cavities, and the alkylammonium cations partially occupy the cavities. Guest molecules are included in the remaining void space. Consequently, the steric dimensions and environments can be designed and controlled by the modification of the latter host components. THF solutions of 1 were treated with excess 2a-e to give 3a-e as white precipitates in good yields (Scheme 1). They were subjected to recrystallization from various organic compounds for X-ray crystallography and the formation of inclusion crystals. Although the positions of the carboxylate anion of 1 were established for all five of the host systems, disorder of the alkyl groups of the ammonium cation and the guest compounds in 3d was so severe that the carboxylate anion only can be refined isotropically. However, crystal structures of 3a-e with the appropriate guest compounds are all isomorphic crystals. 8 A
