| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Methane has attracted interests as a next generation chemical energy. However,high pressure gas cylinder must be used to deliver methane, so that broad adoption of methane into society is facing a problem on safety. In this project, we aimed to develop methane cage by maximizing intermolecular interactions between methane and host molecules,leading to create novel materials that can store methane at low pressure. Candidates of host molecules are selected based on theoretical calculations, and several of them were actually synthesized. Binding and/or adsorption of methane into these host molecules were evaluated in water or inside clay layer. So far, we have not confirmed binding and/or adsorption of methane by our host molecules, but further improvement of host molecules as well as measurement conditions will solve the issue.
