In the weekend, we welcomed our collaborators Iiro and Nanami from Kawano Lab. (東京農工大学 川野研究室) and “walked” together from the office to Lake Biwa through Mt. Daimonji. Well done, guys!!

This year’s official group photo (2 are still missing). We are pretending to be happy under the 37 C hot weather. We are from 🇯🇵🇪🇸🇨🇳🇫🇷🇧🇷🇹🇭🇺🇸🇨🇦🇮🇨🇰🇷. Do you want to add your flag to our group?

Tomoki Tateishi and Fuerkaiti Tayier joined the team on the last day and we finally survived the high-brilliance life at SPring-8!

New year greeting from Kyoto!! Wish our members and followers healthy and successful this year. We enjoyed our own winter break as you can see ;)

Today Tang and Tayier Fuerkaiti Tayier gave their excellent master thesis presentations!! Impressive talks and great discussions. Now they are relieved. Congratulations!! Happy to announce both will continue to PhD course. You will see their results in papers and conferences soon!!

Shuhei is enjoying MOFschool at Como the discussion with a lot of nice students from all over the world. Meanwhile, our members are enjoying their own assembly in Kyoto. Excellent!!

A new gel that adsorbs gases!!! Our materials, pore-networked gels, have a continuous porous network based on linked MOPs, entrapping within the network solvents that cannot enter the pores. Great work led by Wang Zaoming and published in J. Am. Chem. Soc. !! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Official group photo 2023!! We will show how diversity matters in science and chemistry. This year we are the assembly of scientists from 🇯🇵🇪🇸🇨🇳🇹🇼🇹🇭🇧🇷🇺🇸🇫🇷🇷🇴🇵🇱🇮🇳. You might be a new member!!

Water management applications of pore-networked membranes based on MOPs!! We converted gels to membranes for extracting organic contaminants PPCPs at below ppb level. Perfect collaboration of Wang Zaoming and Idaira Pacheco-Fernández is now posted on ChemRxiv. chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

Here we go, Ru-MOP!! Thanks to the mixed valency of Ru2(II,III) paddlewheels, the Ru-MOP is cationic. The neutralization initiates the self-assembly of MOPs to form porous gels. The work was posted on ChemRxiv and is now published in Chemical Science !! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Just finished an amazing time at #Euromof2023! Enjoying top-notch presentations, communicating with other brilliant minds, and exploring the beautiful city of Granada!

The biggest event of the group is happening in Madrid. Over 20 alumni and current members gather and discuss science+. What a great day in my life.

How many electrons can MOP store? We synthesized three new RuMOPs and investigated their redox properties and porosites. Our PhD student, Fuerkaiti Tayier Fuerkaiti Tayier, led the project!! Now posted on ChemRxiv!! chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

In our last J. Am. Chem. Soc. we show that PEG-functionalized MOPs preserve their porosity upon melting, which can be processed into self-standing films and related composites! This and Shuhei Furukawa Group work open new directions for processing porous materials pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

I’m happy to share that my first first-author paper on Inorganic Chemistry ! I've learned a lot from this experience and want to thank everyone who contributed to the paper.

A new group photo of 2024!! We look cool on the hottest day of the year with 39 degrees. Stay tuned for our new studies explored by these great people!!

The basketball season of B.LEAGUE（Bリーグ） just started and we of course support our local Kyoto Hannaryz 京都ハンナリーズ!! Great game and great victory!!

This is evidence of why I often go to Taipei!! Our paper on phase-transformable MOPs for gas separation membranes has finally been published in Nature Communications. Wonderful complementary collaboration with the Dun-Yen Kang @ NTU group at NTU!! nature.com/articles/s4146…

Can you imagine how we feel sad that Zaoming Wang Zaoming is leaving the group. He will become an associate professor in Sichuan University soon. We all will miss you Zaoming.

WaaFs appeared in Nature Chemistry!! Assembling large supramolecules via van der Waals interaction leads to the formation of robust, stable three-dimensional open frameworks. The beautiful sole research done by our former master student Shun Tokuda 徳田 駿!! nature.com/articles/s4155…
