Chemistry across multiple length scales
New paper published in JACS on one-dimensional MOP fibrilsWe reported the one-dimensional self-assembly of metal-organic polyhedra (MOPs) into supramolecular fibrils, resulting in microporous aerogels with exceptional mechanical flexibility. By tuning solvent conditions, MOPs were guided to assemble through face-to-face van der Waals interactions into uniform 1D fibrillar networks. The resulting aerogels combine intrinsic microporosity from…
We are happy to share that our group member Javier López Cabrelles and our alumni Idaira Pacheco Fernández have been awarded the 2026 Young Researcher Award (Postdoctoral Researcher category) by the Real Sociedad Española de Química (RSEQ). We congratulate them both on this well-deserved recognition. 当グループのメンバーであるJavier López Cabrelles博士と、当グループの元博士研究員であるIdaira Pacheco Fernández博士が、スペイン王立化学会（RSEQ）2026年度の若手研究者賞（ポスドク研究員部門）を受賞しました。両名の受賞を心よりお祝い申し上げます。 https://rseq.org/concesion-de-los-premios-rseq-2026/
Our master student, Ryohei, has graduated from our group and will start his job. He put great effort into his experiments and worked hard during his time in the lab. Outside the laboratory, he enjoys dancing and has participated in many performances. His ability to balance his work and personal interests left a good impression.…
We’re happy to welcome new undergraduate students to our group this semester! New members are Akinari Kawakami and Enhong Bian. We hope they enjoy their time here and have fun with their research. 新たに学部生の川上明成さんとENHONG BIANさんが研究室に加わりました。皆さんが研究を楽しみ、充実した時間を過ごせることを願っています。
Emily is an exceptional crystallographer. Modern crystallographic software often provides only averaged structures, yet she can examine diffraction patterns directly to uncover hidden disorder and reveal the true arrangement inside a crystal. Her work on topologically aperiodic frameworks reflects this unique skill. She understands how order and complexity coexist in crystalline materials and uses this…
Our D1 student, Ayana, received an Oral Presentation Award at the conference Empower Women in MOFs and Beyond 2025, which was held in Mexico this November. Her clear and confident presentation impressed many participants and reflected her steady progress in research. We congratulate Ayana on this achievement and look forward to her future work. 博士課程1年の宮田…
Our master student, Atsuto, received a Poster Presentation Award at the 75th Conference of the Japan Society of Coordination Chemistry (JSCC2025), held on September in Nagasaki. and reflected his steady growth as a researcher We congratulate Atsuto on this achievement and look forward to his future progress. 修士課程の大久保 温人さんが、9月16日に長崎で開催された第75回錯体化学会（JSCC2025）において、ポスター発表賞を受賞しました。分かりやすい説明と丁寧な準備が高く評価され、研究者としての着実な成長が感じられる成果となりました。 大久保 温人さんの受賞を心よりお祝い申し上げます。今後のさらなる活躍を期待しています。
Soft porous crystals built from flexible metal–organic cages require a delicate balance between structural order and dynamic motion. Donglin explored this balance with great care and revealed how changes in phase or activation can lead to distinct responsive behaviors. Her approach to research shows her personality very clearly. She works with patience, precision, and quiet…
Our postdoctoral researcher, Heng-Yu, received awards at two international conferences in June. Her work was recognized both in Europe and Asia within the same week. She received the Best Poster Presentation Award on June 20 at the 4th International School on Porous Materials in Como, Italy. From June 22 to 24, she attended the 2025…
Our group members participated in the 19th International Symposium on Macrocyclic and Supramolecular Chemistry (ISMSC2025) in conjunction with the 9th NanoLSI Symposium. The talks and poster presentations by our group members were excellent. We’re especially proud to share that our outstanding PhD student, Ayana Miyata (D1), received a Poster Presentation Award!Congratulations, Ayana! 当研究室のメンバーは、第19回国際環状および超分子化学シンポジウム（ISMSC2025）と第9回NanoLSIシンポジウムに参加しました。口頭発表・ポスター発表ともに素晴らしい内容で、好評を博しました。 中でも、博士課程1年の宮田 彩名さんがポスター発表賞を受賞しました！おめでとうございます！
