Porous Crystalline Matrix for Task-Specific Functions
The self-assemblies of metal cations with new multi-dentate ligands produce various porous crystalline matrix such as metal–organic nanotube (MONT), metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), zeolite L-mimic metal–organic framework (ZLMOF), and nanotube.(NT) showing the following functions:
1. The advanced triple-functions as a reservoir for unstable reactants, a photoreaction platform, and a byproduct-scavenger.
2. The hydrophobic nano-channel that effectively adsorbs a wide range of fused aromatic hydrocarbons (FAHs) for energy-transfer materials.
3. Trapping agents of an iodomethyl radical (·CH2I) via single crystal-to-single crystal photoreaction without destruction of the suprachannel.
4. Crystalline matrix for molecular structure determination of a wide range of liquid chemicals via single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SCSC) guest exchange.
5. Confined catalysts
