Self-Transformation under Confinement in 2-D Supramolecular Pore Assembly

The chemical nature of molecules within a confined space can be enormously changed due to geometrical constraints and potential energy changes. Considering this physical insight, translating their confinement effects into an extended nanostructure may provide an approach for creating novel porous materials performing self-conversion of captured substrates in the bulk state. In this symposium, I will discuss on the single-layered 2-D pore assembly that spontaneously perform highly efficient chemical transformation of captured substrates under confinement. Importantly, the transformed substrates are spontaneously released out of the pore assembly. The spontaneous release of the transformed products allows the porous sheets to perform repeated cycles of binding the substrates for self-conversion to release as products, thereby the single-layered porous materials enabling capture and release offer a powerful novel strategy for automated product generation.
