Outline of Final Research Achievements

Coordination polymer (CP) is a crystalline material composed of metal ions and bridging ligands. Most of the research of CP are for crystalline phase, and this research focused on the phase transition of CP such as cyrstal melt, crystal-to-glass transformation. In the first research period, we investigated the appropriate composition of CP which show crystal melt/vitrification. We then moved to design the unique functionality based on the melting CP crystal. We found high ion conductive CP glass, switching of ion current in CP glass, and porous CP glass for example. Some has also the property of transparency and it is promising to design multifunctional CP such as optics/conductivity.
