Type II porous liquids, comprising intrinsically porous molecules dissolved in a liquid solvent, potentially combine the adsorption properties of porous adsorbents with the handling advantages of liquids. Previously, discovery of appropriate solvents to make porous liquids had been limited to direct experimental tests. We demonstrate an efficient screening approach for this task that uses COSMO-RS calculations, predictions of solvent pKa values from a machine-learning model, and several other features and apply this approach to select solvents from a library of more than 11,000 compounds. This method is shown to give qualitative agreement with experimental observations for two molecular cages, CC13 and TG-TFB-CHEDA, identifying solvents with higher solubility for these molecules than had previously been known. Ultimately, the algorithm streamlines the downselection of suitable solvents for porous organic cages to enable more rapid discovery of Type II porous liquids.
