9875544LIN本研究的目的是为固体材料化学领域开发一种以金属-配体配位为分子基础的无着丝点和手性聚合物配位网络的合理合成方法。将考察三种新的方法：(1)偏心互穿二元体网络的晶体工程；(2)基于金属吡啶碳酸盐的偏心和手性二维正方形网格的设计；(3)合成具有三重旋转对称性的偏心、柱撑的碱性三核碳酸盐二维薄片。教育目标将集中在课程开发，鼓励未被提及的群体成为科学家和工程师，本科生和暑期高中生参与研究，以及强调环境问题的公众宣传。%通过氢键等非共价键进行有机固体的晶体工程正在成为非线性光学器件材料的设计、合成和材料性能优化的一个非常重要的领域，并用于开发用于环境保护和养护的分离过程的新型手性沸腾材料。

9875544LinThe aim of this research is to develop for the area of solid state materials chemistry a rational synthesis of acentric and chiral polymeric coordination networks using metal-ligand coordination as the molecular basis for the construction. Three novel aproaches will be examined: (1) crystal engineering of acentric interpenetrated diamonoid networks; (2) design of acentric and chiral two-dimensional square grids based on metal pyridinecarboxalates; (3) synthesis of acentric, pillared two-dimensional sheets of basic trinuclear carboxalates with three-fold rotational symmetry. The educational aims will focus on curriculum development, the encouragement of underrespresented groups to become scientists and engineers, the involvment of undergraduate and summer high school students in research, and public outreach that emphasizes environmental issues.%%%Crystal engineering of organic solids via non-covalent bonding such as hydrogen bonding is emerging as a very important area in the design, synthesis, and materials property optimization for nonlinear optical device materials, and for the development of novel chiral zeolytic materials for separations processes employed in the protection and conservation of the environment.***
