AB - <jats:p>We describe the <jats:italic>a priori </jats:italic>computational prediction and realization of multi-component cage pots, starting with molecular predictions based on candidate precursors through to crystal structure prediction and synthesis using robotic screening. The molecules were formed by the social self-sorting of a tri-topic aldehyde with both a tri-topic amine and di-topic amine, without using orthogonal reactivity or precursors of the same topicity. Crystal structure prediction suggested a rich polymorphic landscape, where there was an overall preference for chiral recognition to form heterochiral rather than homochiral packings, with heterochiral pairs being more likely to pack window-to-window to form two-component capsules. These crystal packing preferences were then observed in experimental crystal structures. </jats:p><jats:p />
