Outline of Final Research Achievements

For the realization of a sustainable society, researches about selective gas adsorption/separation have been performed on organic-inorganic hybrid materials. New materials which have structural flexibility were synthesized and the crystal structures were solved by X-ray crystal structure analyses. Adsorption properties of them were investigated by using several gas species. Furthermore, mixed gas/vapor adsorption properties of them were investigated theoretically and experimentally.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

これまで殆ど知られていなかった構造柔軟性材料の吸着において、構造と吸着の関係に関する情報を得た。また、それらを制御するための方法論確立のために、複数の物質を合成し、その吸着特性を評価した。これらの結果は、地球温暖化の主たる要因となっているCO2の吸着分離や、アルコールなどの分離技術へと展開が期待される。
