A new molecular material —the 1‐bromoadamantane/thiourea inclusion compound (the guest substructure of which is depicted)—has been designed as a dichroic filter for X‐ray polarization analysis, based on theoretical predictions of the required structural characteristics. Measurements of X‐ray linear dichroism show that this material exhibits essentially optimal performance in such applications.
