| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Crystalline materials have uses in practically every aspect of society, and thus the search for methods to prepare high quality crystals is important. In this work, we investigated the effect of liquid crystallinity in the solvent of the target solute. We found that different crystallization behavior results due to the liquid crystallinity, and that its behavior is affected the pattern imprinted on the substrate surfaces.

これまでの多くの研究では結晶化させる際の溶媒として等方的な液体が用いられてきたが、本研究では、溶媒のもつ分子配列が結晶化挙動に影響を与えることを示した点で意義深い。液晶は固体と液体の中間に存在する物質の状態であるが、液晶性を発現する材料と液晶に溶解性を示す材料の組み合わせは無数に考えられる。溶媒と溶質の相互作用に分子配向という自由度を加えることにより、結晶化学の新しい展開が期待される。
