AboutAbout the lab
Assembling like building blocks to create new functions
The Unregistered Lab researches how to create new functions using "porous metal complexes," which assemble themselves from metal ions and organic molecules.
Focusing on the size of complexes, nano-interfaces, and the arrangement of atoms and molecules, the lab builds hierarchical structures by assembling them like building blocks.
Mainly using porous coordination polymers (MOFs), the lab finds that making them into thin films and shrinking them to the nanometer scale can bring out properties not seen at the conventional large scale (bulk).
By using the regular pores of MOFs as templates to control the arrangement of atoms and molecules, the lab expects electronic structures and novel properties that differ from those of the bulk.
Key terms
- Porous coordination polymer (MOF)
- A porous material formed by coordination bonds between metal ions and organic ligands. Known properties include gas adsorption, magnetism, and catalysis.
- Bulk
- The state of a material at its ordinary size, before it is shrunk to the nanometer scale.
- Self-assembly
- A phenomenon in which component molecules gather naturally and form a structure without being assembled from outside.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab uses porous coordination polymers (MOFs) to control the arrangement of atoms and molecules, size, and nano-interfaces in order to explore new functions. By turning MOFs into thin films and shrinking them to the nanometer scale, or by assembling them like building blocks to control hierarchical structures, the lab expects to create a wide variety of functions.
