Hydrogen-bonded coordinate supramolecular networks toward functional materials

This thesis examined crystal transformations enabled by competitive interactions between hydrogen bonding and covalent bonding, which is a step forward in understanding the interplay of multi-supramolecular interactions. A series of novel hydrogen bonded coordinate aggregates like macroscopic robust membrane, hydrogel/aerogel, novel supramolecular crystals based on melamine/cyanuric acid were created. Those newly developed aggregates demonstrate remarkable properties in mechanics, optics, photoluminescence, etc
