We use many CO2 to make amorphous and soft MOFs. It's #OpenAccess please check this synthesis idea! J. Mater. Chem. family pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/Art…

I am very proud to announce that my first first-author paper on WaaFs is finally out in Nature Chemistry !!!🎉🎉 Huge thanks to Shuhei Furukawa Group and the amazing team for their greatest support in my last six years in Kyoto!!! nature.com/articles/s4155…

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…

本日より九州大学-NIMS連携大学院の連携教授に着任しました．今後，NIMSで研究を行うことを希望する博士後期課程の学生の受入が可能になります．最先端の電子顕微鏡を駆使した化学研究に興味がある学生さんに来て頂けることを期待しています．よろしくお願いいたします． nims.go.jp/kyushu/

Mechanical mixing borohydride + ammonia borane creates hydrogen-rich functional liquids - Melting temperature: 🧊 −50 °C, up to 6.9 wt% H₂. Now in Advanced Materials. #OpenAccess Nice collaboration with hydride giant Andreas Züttel.

ICYS Research Fellow Dr. Nattapol MA published an article. Liquid Coordination Polymers with Anhydrous Proton Conductivity Angewandte Chemie International Edition doi.org/10.1002/anie.2…

We realized a CO₂ loop in carbonate-based coordination polymers — capturing, releasing, and regenerating their framework — in the temperature gap between organic and inorganic carbonates. J. Am. Chem. Soc. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Crystallizing MOF glasses—Partial crystallization within a glass matrix, resulting in the formation of microcrystalline domains, provides a pathway to glass-ceramic materials with properties that differ from both the parent glass and the crystalline phases. In a recent article in

We present metal–organic crystallized glasses (MOCGs) in J. Am. Chem. Soc.. By partially crystallizing MOF glasses, we achieve 10× higher dielectric constants and tunable mechanical and conductive properties. Thanks Morten Smedskjaer form precise mechanics study. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Congratulations, Dr. Nattapol Ma, on your acceptance into the JST-PRESTO program. Dr. Ma is an ICYS Research Fellow at NIMS. We are now accepting applications at ICYS. nims.go.jp/icys/recruitme…

We had fruitful discussions and exchanges with Prof. Davide Comoretto from the University of Genoa, who visited NIMS this Monday. We hope to see him in Genoa or Milan next time.

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2025 #NobelPrize in Chemistry to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M. Yaghi “for the development of metal–organic frameworks.”

Susumu Kitagawa showed that gases can flow in and out of the constructions and predicted that metal–organic frameworks (MOF) could be made flexible. #NobelPrize
