MOPEG gels, constructed from metal–organic polyhedra (MOPs) and flexible polyethylene glycol (PEG) chains, exhibited coordinative guest recognition behavior using open metal sites of MOPs.

Building on this achievement, we are now working to further develop and expand our research at FRIS, Tohoku University. We also welcome inquiries and invitations for collaborative research.
