Newswise — Professor Hideki Fujiwara and Associate Professor Daisuke Sakamaki, from Osaka Metropolitan University's Graduate School of Science, have achieved a groundbreaking milestone. They successfully synthesized a previously unknown molecule by employing an innovative fusion of dynamic covalent chemistry and coordination chemistry. This pioneering study demonstrates the compatibility of these two distinct reaction types, as they operate synergistically without impeding one another.
Professor Sakamaki expressed that the foundation of this research rested upon a straightforward concept of merging two distinct reaction types. Nonetheless, there were uncertainties regarding the coexistence of these reactions due to their inherent differences. The outcome of their study is anticipated to have a significant impact on the advancement of novel synthetic elements for functional materials, including sensing materials and porous materials.
The study findings were published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition.
