The sorption capacity of the recently reported crystalline microporous semiconductor Rb-CTH-1 was investigated, revealing that the structure demonstrates heat-induced reversible sorption of 3 wt% water and hydrocarbons. The Rb-CTH-1 structure maintains its crystallinity and semiconducting properties when heated to 150 {sup o}C. The treatment causes desorption induced irreversible rearrangements of the remaining guest species with a response in the semiconductive properties of the material. - Graphical abstract: The novel crystalline microporous semiconductor Rb-CTH-1 shows heat-induced reversible sorption of disordered guest species and desorption-induced irreversible rearrangements of ordered guest ions with a response in its semiconductive properties.
