Nonoporous Coordination Networks

本研究的重点将是纳米孔配位网络的合成和表征，这是一种很有前途的新材料。有两种策略将受到考验。一种涉及使用辐条状构建块，其中在结晶过程中组装空腔，另一种使用大环构建块，其中在结晶之前以共价方式构建预制的空腔部分。有了这个更新奖，合成有机项目支持了伊利诺伊大学化学系的Jeffrey S. Moore博士和密歇根大学化学系的Stephen Lee博士的研究。本次合作研究的重点将是合理制备纳米孔配位网络。该方法将导致固态设计领域的重要进展。

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.
