ピラー［n］アレーンを基にしたソフトクリスタルの開発

抄録

Porous materials with high surface areas are widely applied in industry from the viewpoint of separation, purification, and storage. Most reported porous materials are Metal-Organic Frameworks（MOFs）, Porous Organic Polymers（POPs）, and zeolites, which are macromolecular porous materials. On the other hand, we have been developing porous organic crystals based on pillar［n］arenes that we have developed originary. Since pillar［n］arenes have pores at the molecular level, it is clear which molecule is taken up. In addition to the selective uptake, functional groups can be easily introduced into pillar［n］arenes. With these characteristics, we have developed soft crystals that selectively take up vapors and show color or assembly state changes.
