Three-dimensional van der Waals open frameworks - Nature Chemistry
In reticular chemistry, the formation of strong chemical bonds between molecular components is typically considered a core prerequisite for synthesizing open-framework materials. Now a series of robus...

Today is a special day! I am very proud to announce that my first first-author paper on WaaFs is finally out in @naturechemistry.bsky.social !!! 🎊🎉
Huge thanks to @furukawas.bsky.social and the group members for their great support in my last six years in Kyoto!

We found MOPs can be “packed” into fibrous structures instead of crystals by the careful solvent control!
Check out Ayana’s first manuscript, now on the ChemRxiv!!! 👀

Arraying MOPs into one-dimensional structures via van der Waals interactions creates new porous aerogels. Three years of Ayana's work is now posted on @chemrxiv.org!!

We designed soft porous crystals based on flexible MOCs!! MircoED enables us to characterize two distinct activated phases of MOCs: one is flexible, and the other is rigid. Nice teamwork with Donglin, Javi @cabrelles497.bsky.social, and Jack!! Posted on @chemrxiv.org.

Phase-Dependent Responsiveness in Soft Porous Crystals Assembled from Flexible Metal–Organic Cages
Soft porous crystals (SPCs) based on flexible metal–organic cages (MOCs) remain elusive due to challenges in preserving both dynamic behavior and crystallinity after desolvation. Here, we report an SP...

AI can now generate fake microscopy images that are nearly impossible to detect. A serious threat to scientific integrity—and we’re not prepared for it.

I fully enjoyed the intense week in the 6th International School on Aperiodic Crystals at MPI-CPfS in Dresden! A chunk of minerals for my poster prize is a real treat for the painful learning curve I had in the 6D space of quasicrystals.
