Outline of Final Research Achievements

Two kinds of microporous network complexes were synthesized by heating the ligand capable of multipoint interaction and the copper iodide complex in a solvent and then controlling the speed of crystallization. The porosity of the network complex with small pores was 18%, the space group was not the desired chiral space group at P-1. On the other hand, the void ratio of the network complex with the larger pore was 80%, the interaction site was exposed on the pore surface, and it was found that it has the chiral space group of P212121. Furthermore, we investigated selective synthesis of network using rheology effect by adding surfactant etc. As a result, it succeeded mainly in synthesis of chiral network by utilizing larger temperature gradient, but the rheology effect should be necessary to carefully verify.
