Nonoporous Coordination Networks

这项研究的重点将是纳米孔配位网络的合成和表征，这些配位网络有望成为新材料。将测试两种策略。一种涉及使用轮辐式积木，其中空腔在结晶期间组装；另一种使用大循环积木，其中预制的空腔部分在结晶之前共价构建。通过这一续期奖项，合成有机计划将支持伊利诺伊大学化学系的杰弗里·S·摩尔博士和密歇根大学化学系的斯蒂芬·李博士的研究。这项合作研究的重点将是合理制备纳米孔配位网络。这一方法将在固态设计领域取得重要进展。

The focus of this research will be the synthesis and characterization of nanoporous coordination networks that hold great promise as new materials. Two strategies will be tested. One involves the use of spoke-like building blocks in which cavities are assembled during crystallization and the other utilizes macrocyclic building blocks in which pre-fabricated sections of cavities are covalently constructed prior to crystallization. With this renewal award, the Synthetic Organic Program is supporting the research of Dr. Jeffrey S. Moore of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Illinois and Dr. Stephen Lee of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Michigan. The focus of this collaborative research will be the rational preparation of nanoporous coordination networks. The approach will lead to important progress in the field of solid state design.
