动态的分子间相互作用力是精准构筑有机超分子和高分子材料的重要保障，然后伴随产生的结构稳定性问题极大限制高性能材料的迭代。如果能在自组装精准性的基础上，通过简单的化学反应使超分子和高分子结构从动态可逆变为静态稳定，将有望一举解决以上难题，为发展高性能超分子和高分子材料智能材料开辟崭新的方向。围绕上述设想，基于自组装，课题组研究主要围绕以下三个方面展开：

（1）发展新型有机配体，利用有机配体与金属配位模式在中性条件下动态可逆，而碱性条件下静态稳定的特性，构建兼具结构精准性和化学稳定性的超分子和高分子智能材料。

（2）基于新配体配位模式在酸碱调控下的动态-稳态变化，将其与传统配位作用及共价反应有机结合，进行自组装新方法的探索，设计并构筑出结构精准、功能先进的配位超分子和高分子材料。

（3）我们将充分利用新有机配体给超分子和高分子材料带来的性质变化，并结合其结构精准性与化学稳定兼备的特性，致力于将该类材料应用于模板合成、仿生催化、光电器件、生物医药等方面的研究探索。
