Chemistry across multiple length scales
The paper describing porous gels and colloids made of metal-organic polyhedra is now published in Nature Communications!!! We showed a new fabrication method of porous soft matter by combining the knowledge of coordination chemistry and supramolecular chemistry. This is a true collaboration with Prof. Takashi Hirose from the Matsuda Lab at Grad. School of Engineering,…
The paper about the localized MOF to Gel conversion is now published in Chem. Mater. This research was conducted by Sophia, who came to our group as a guest student from KIT and were working with Dr. Manuel Tsotsalas, who is also an alumni of the group. Dr. Stephane Diring currently in Nantes supervised the…
The collaboration paper with Prof. Easan Sivaniah Group at iCeMS is now published in Nature Energy. This study highly improved the CO2 separation efficiency by mixed matrix membrane of PIM-1 and nanosized MOFs. Congratulations!!
The collaboration paper with the group of Prof. Fischer is now published in J. Mater. Chem. A. We applied coordination modulation into the layer-by-layer growth and controlled the surface feature and crystallinity. Congratulation, Suttipong and Kenji!!
The collaboration paper with the group of Prof. Rob Ameloot is now published in Chem. Commun. This study demonstrated the photopatterning of microchannels in single crystals of MOFs. The research was supported by JSPS-FWO bilateral collaboration project. Congratulations, Ivo and Rob! "Photopatterning of fluorescent host–guest carriers through pore activation of metal–organic framework single crystals" Prof.…
The paper about synthetic ion channels based on metal-organic polyhedra is now published in Chem. This is a true collaboration with Prof. Ryuji Kawano (Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology) and Prof. Shoji Takeuchi (The University of Tokyo). The former technical staff, Ms. Nao Horike, synthesized the molecules and so many group members contributed to…
The review about sol-gel process of MOFs is now published in Chem. Mater. This review is a consequence of our international collaborations, particularly with the group of Prof. Paolo Falcaro (currently, TU Graz) and is written by 6 people from 6 different affiliations (5 different countries; Australia, France, Mexico, Japan, Austria). Our former group member,…
The paper about the CO-release framework for biology application is now published in Chemical Science!! This is a great collaborative papers among the former and current members, Mr. JiCheng "Tony" Zhang, Mr. Shuya Ikemura, Dr. Stéphane Diring and Dr. Arnau Carne!! We are happy to finally show new MOF materials for gas biology applications!! Congratulations!…
The paper about a new metal-organic polyhedra based on dirhodium paddlewheels is now published in Inorg. Chem.!! This is a work done by the former member, Ms. Nao Horike. Congratulations!!
The preview article about electrochromic MOFs is published in the second issue of a new journal, Chem (Cell Press)!! We highlighted the great results by the Dinca Group in MIT. Shuhei contributed to this Preview article together with John Ashburne!!
