Exploring gate-opening metal-organic polyhedra towards processable porous materials

在资助过程中，我们在提案的工作包WP 1和WP 2中取得了重大进展：开发了具有合作行为的新型金属有机多面体，并使用单晶x射线衍射，粉末衍射和气体吸收测量对其进行了表征。目前，正在准备一份出版物草案，并将很快提交（预计将于2019年9月提交）。我还参加了在意大利莱切举行的2019年第14届大环和超分子化学国际研讨会。在那里，我展示了项目一些初步成果的海报，会见了合作者（澳大利亚阿德莱德大学的C. J. Doonan教授），并听取了关于软物质最新研究的讨论，软物质是我们材料的潜在应用。

During the course of the funding, we made significant progress in the work packages WP 1 and WP 2 from the proposal: new metal-organic polyhedra showing cooperative behaviour were developed, and they were characterised using single crystal X-ray diffraction, powder diffraction, and by gas sorption measurements. Currently, a draft publication is in preparation and will be submitted shortly (anticipated to be September 2019).I also attended the 14th International Symposium on Macrocyclic and Supramolecular Chemistry 2019, in Lecce, Italy. There, I presented a poster on some of the initial results of the project, met collaborators (Prof. C. J. Doonan, University of Adelaide, Australia), and saw talks on the latest research in soft matter, which is a potential application for our materials.
