Research Outline

We synthesized various porous network complexes by kinetic self-assembly of metal ions and bridging ligands by utilizing weak intermolecular interactions and investigated the relationship between unique physical properties and structures. Kinetically self-assembled network complexes are metastable soft crystals, which exhibit flexible structural changes in response to external stimuli such as mechanical force and heating. A strongly luminescent crystalline powder was obtained by heating a metastable porous network complex obtained by kinetic self-assembly of a copper complex and a tetradentate pyridine ligand. In this study, we aim to elucidate the origin of strong luminescence by determining the structure of photo-steady-state network complex by in-situ X-ray diffraction method and combining with transient absorption spectroscopy and theoretical calculation.
