| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Silica (SiO2)-based porous materials have many applications such as catalysis and adsorption. This study aimed at the synthesis of novel nanoporous materials using molecular building blocks with cage siloxane frameworks. By 3D cross-linking of the cage siloxanes with photofunctional organic molecules, a new class of hybrid materials capable of expansion and contraction has been obtained. On the other hand, site-selective modification of the corner Si of cage siloxanes was successfully performed, thus providing a promising approach to the controlled connection of the cage siloxanes by Si-O-Si linkages and also to the introduction of catalytic active sites by forming Si-O-metal linkages.
