Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project aimed at the development of ultra-small metal oxide particles by utilizing nano-sized inner space of organic molecular cages. For the organic nanocage, amphiphilic organic cage with hydrophilic inner space was employed as a nano-sized reaction space for the metal oxide growing. As a result of the optimization of reaction conditions, selective formations of metal oxide particles were achieved within the inner space of the organic nanocages, in which the initial formation of intermediate species within the cage space was found to be the key step for selective formation of metal oxide within the nanocage space. The developed synthetic strategy for ultrasmall metal oxide particles was suggested to be applicable for other metal oxides. In addition, the ferrihydrite particles obtained by the above reaction showed physical properties characteristic of ultrasmall size nano-particles.
