Abstract
Porous liquids are a new class of material defined by their permanent microporosity and fluidity. In this thesis, an investigation of control over the properties of these materials is described, transferring knowledge of microporous solids into the liquid state. The progress made to date in this relatively young field is outlined, as well as an overview of the properties of microporous solids. New type 2 and 3 porous liquids with modified gas uptake and selectivity were generated using synthetic pore control in porous organic cages, based on previous understanding of these organic cage molecules. In a type 2 porous liquid cage solution, introduction of methyl groups to occlude the pore window effect was used to invert selectivity for Xe. New type 3 porous liquid dispersions were prepared from organic cage microcrystals, pore modification among the materials was also shown to enhance or reduce gas uptake. Hydrophobicity is also explored as a driving force for introducing porosity in a liquid, microporous polymer dispersions were investigated for gas and liquid absorption.
