| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have succeeded in the fabrication of monolith suprastructures of metal-organic frameworks or porous coordination polymers (MOF/PCP), which showed the flexible structural deformation in response to guest molecule accommodation. In this system, even though the crystalline of flexible MOF/PCP were integrated into three dimensional monolithic structure, the structural flexibility was maintained. This is an important step towards the control of microporosity by mechanical stress. In order to apply mechanical stress, the phase as soft matter would be more appropriate than the crystalline phase. Therefore, we also demonstrated a new method to fabricate soft matter like gels based on porous coordination polymers. Porous metal-organic polyhedra were used as porous monomers and interconnected by likers to form supramolecular polymers. The resulting gels were consisted of amorphous colloidal networks based on metal-organic polyhedra.
