Exploration of Higher-Order Functionality Based on the Dynamic Self-Assembly of Boronic Esters

Research Project Outline

In this research, we will aim to achieve 1) establishment of the guest induced dynamic self-assembly of boronic esters and of the bottom-up synthesis of boronic ester conjugates utilizing their characteristic properties, 2) realization of various dynamic function on the molecular level, in particular, molecular catalysis, separation and storage of molecules, etc, and 3) development of these molecular function into useful materials.
