Porous Materials
Our research group aims to develop porous functional materials, mainly metal-organic frameworks (MOFs),
metal-organic polyhedral (MOPs), and metal-organic aerogels (MOAs). In MOFs, MOPs, and MOAs, metal
clusters as the joints are interconnected to multitopic organic ligands in the network structures. Thus, their
physicochemical properties are highly tailorable through the judicious combinations of the building
blocks.Further, the crystalline nature of MOFs facilitates in-depth study of the structure-property relationships.
We have been tried to harness these advantages for their applications in gas sorption, ion exchanges, catalysis,
and sensing.
