Research Project

Hierarchical Construction of Asymmetric Coordination Spaces and Reaction Fields induced by Helical Supramolecular Structure

Abstract

In this project, large supramolecular complexes are hierarchically formed from several kinds of organic molecules, and then designable asymmetric nano-spaces are constructed by helical supramolecular structures.  Moreover, various catalytic metals are supported on the surfaces of the nano-spaces to lead to asymmetric supramolecular nano-reactors.
