Many interesting target guest molecules have low symmetry, yet most methods for synthesising hosts result in highly symmetrical capsules. Methods of generating lower-symmetry pores are thus required to maximise the binding affinity in host-guest complexes. Here, we use mixtures of tetraaldehyde building blocks to access low-symmetry imine cages. Whether a low-energy cage is isolated can be correctly predicted from the thermodynamic preference observed in computational models. The stability of the observed structures depends on the ge
