Laboratory of Molecular Assemblies
Manipulating intermolecular forces to create highly changeable crystal space groups
Crystals are often thought of as unchangable solids, but by skillfully designing the interactions between molecules, we can create dynamic materials that are able to shape-shift and capture a variety of small molecules. Therefore, our research focuses on introducing metal ions and fluorine to synthesize new molecules with 欧洲杯足彩app下载_欧洲杯下注平台-【直播*网站】 efficient molecular uptake. Molecular crystals with beautiful colors that behave in unimaginable ways possess novel functions that will help protect the environment.
