Outline of Final Research Achievements

Adsorption of molecules into nanospaces is mainly due to the interaction between the surface atoms of the pore and the adsorbed molecules, the interaction between the electrostatic potential of the pore and the adsorbed molecules, and the interaction between the adsorbed molecules. However, the interaction between adsorbed molecules is not mainly considered in the development of adsorbent materials. If the interaction between adsorbed molecules can be modulated, it is thought that the adsorption function can be significantly changed. Therefore, in this research project, we designed and synthesized metal-organic composite nanospace materials that exhibit cluster-type adsorption, and evaluated their adsorption properties with the aim of opening up a new field of nanospace science.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

ナノ多孔体（ナノメートルサイズの小さな細孔を有する固体材料）は、空気や水の浄化や気体の精製、触媒、エネルギー変換材料等、私たちの身近な機能性材料として使用されています。金属－有機構造体（MOF）はその細孔構造や性質を様々に変えられる新しいナノ多孔体として注目されています。本研究課題では、MOFを利用して、まったく新しい分子吸着機能を実現するもので、その成果は二酸化炭素や酸素などの様々気体の分離を革新的に省エネルギー化し、高効率化することが期待されるものです。
