Abstract

In one word, how do you describe your research?Our research is focused in the development of new hybrid metal–organic materials by applying two different self‐assembly approaches. One method uses coordination bonds to form coordination polymers and the other approach is by means of second sphere interactions, which uses electrostatic interactions to form second‐sphere adducts. The main interest of our research is to understand fundamental aspects involving solid‐state reactivity and finding functional applications.What are the main challenges in the broad area of your research?Although great progress has been made in the design of functional materials using crystal engineering, the precise control of second‐sphere interactions that drive the self‐assembly process to form porous coordination polymers is still a challenge.What other topics are you working on at the moment?Our current projects involve the adsorption of chlorinated volatile organic compounds, linear hydrocarbon molecules, and other guest molecules into coordination polymer frameworks. Moreover, we are interested in exploiting the solid–liquid interface crystallization method used to prepare coordination polymers. This method shows great promise in producing microcrystalline materials in good yields, short crystallization times, and with very small quantities of solvent.We thank the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, the Ministry of Education (MOE2013‐T2‐044) and the National Research Foundation (NRF‐CRP14‐2014‐03) of Singapore for funding.
