Development of Functional Powdered Materials via Selective Molecular Recognition Premised on Non-porous Organic Molecules

Key Points

• The aim is to explore the molecular adsorption behavior of a novel organic molecule, triscoumarin.
• Studied triscoumarin-based molecular adsorption behavior through x-ray crystallography.
• Experimented with cis-decalin and trans-decalin mixed vapors to assess selective adsorption.
• Analyzed molecular structure and adsorption selectivity under varying conditions.
• Triscoumarin benzene crystals selectively adsorbed cis-decalin over trans-decalin in vapor conditions.
• Selective adsorption maintained even under excess trans-decalin.
• Triscoumarin benzene shows promise as a base molecule for adsorption separation materials.
