Silicalite-1 films supported on both sides of glass plates are prepared and hemicyanine dyes with different alkyl chain lengths are induced into the silicalite-1 films by dipping SL/Gs into each methanol solution of HC-n for 1d. The included numbers of HC-n per channel (Nc) generally decreased with increasing n.

The facile multilayer assembly of micrometer-sized ZSM-5 crystals on glass substrates is reported. Polyelectrolytes can be used as linkers to achieve this.

The unprecedented, highly intriguing phenomenon of self-assembly of an enzyme and its substrate-tethering micrometer-sized inorganic crystals into structured entities is reported. This report shows the self-assembly of an enzyme and its substrate-tethering inorganic crystals into a fibrous composite material and also elucidates the remarkable behavior of beta-glucosidase in the presence of the surface-bound D-glucose.

An attempt is made to modify the shape and nanostructure of core-shell materials, which are usually generated on the basis of amorphous spherical cores. Novel core-shell silicate particles each of which consists of a silicalite-1 zeolite crystal core and mesoporous shell (ZCMS) were synthesized.

The methods for organizing zeolite microcrystals into closely packed mono and multilayers on various substrates by inducing a large number of chemical linkages between the organic functional group tethered to both surfaces are explored. The result indicates that the phenomenon of cross-linking-induced marked increase in the binding strength between the substrate and the monolayers of building blocks works not only for small molecules but also for microcrystals with much higher mass-to-surface area ratios.

The g(sub z) directions of the hydrated and the full dehydrated copper species was determined by comparing the EPR spectrum of a powder sample with that of microcrystals assembled on glass plates. The results showed that the g(sub z) direction of Cu(super 2+) species D is not compatible with site II in the six-ring plane.

ZSM-5(0.6 mu m x 1.7 mu m x 2.5 mu m) and zeolite-A (1.7 mu m x 1.7 mu m x 1.7 mu m x 2.5 mu m) crystals and 11-trimethoxysilyl -n-undecyl-tethering adenine, thymine, and 3-methylthymine were prepared. The possibility of employment of the weak hydrogen bonding between the complementary oligomers of DNA strands was tested through these preparations, for organization of even microcrystals whose external-to-internal surface ratios are mush smaller than those of nanoparticles.
