Abstract

Molecular motion of hexamethylbenzene (HMB) incorporated in 2,4,6-tris(4-chlorophenoxy)-1,3,5-triazine (CLPOT) was investigated by 1H NMR spin-lattice relaxation time T1 measurements. In the porous space of one-dimensional (1D) CLPOT nanochannels, HMB molecules reorientate more freely compared to bulk HMB crystals. With low concentrations x < 0.5 of CLPOT-(HMB)x, the distribution of HMB seems to be quite inhomogeneous in 1D nanochannel. The activation energy of the in-plane reorientation of HMB is 5 kJ mol−1 due to the interaction with nanochannel-wall and 10 - 18 kJ mol−1 depending on the separation distance when the interaction between the adjacent HMB molecules determines the activation energy.
