Development of novel host molecule-metal ion complexes having enzyme-like catalytic activities for the highly efficient removal and degradation of toxic compounds

本研究的目的是开发高效的环境净化系统，通过该系统，可以利用具有酶样活性的新型主体分子金属离子络合物来实现有害化学品的去除和随后的解毒。以杀螟松和四氯乙烯为例，制备了复合材料，并对其进行了去除和降解研究。作为本研究的延伸，具有与上述杂化材料中重要的表面活性剂的化学结构相似的化学结构的季铵盐被用作反应介质来水解纤维素，这是加工植物来源的生物质的关键步骤，并将水解产物转化为有价值材料的平台化学品。

The present study was conducted with a view to developing highly efficient environ mental purification systems by which the removal and subsequent detoxification of hazardous chemicals can be achieved with novel host molecule metal ion complexes having enzyme-like activities. Taking fenitrothion and perchloroethylene as examples of hazardous chemicals, hybrid materials were prepared for their removal from water followed by their degradation. As an extension of the present study, quaternary ammonium salts having chemical structures similar to those of surfactants of importance in the above-mentioned hybrid materials were applied as reaction media to hydrolyze cellulose, which is a key step in processing plant-origin biomasses, and to convert the hydrolysis products into a platform chemical of valuable materials.
