1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a method of producing a polymer by polymerizing or copolymerizing a monomer accommodated in pores of a porous metal complex, and more specifically to a method of producing a polymer by polymerizing or copolymerizing an unsaturated organic compound accommodated in pores of a porous coordination polymer.
2. Background of the Invention
It has been known that a porous crystal having pores of approximately 1 nm or less prepared from an organic ligand and a metal ion can accommodate a low-molecular compound in these pores. It is disclosed, for example, in JP-A-9-227572, JP-A-2004-196594, and Chemical Industry, vol. 53, 2002, 808 that a coordination polymer composed of a copper ion and an organic ligand is superior in storage capacity of methane or oxygen. These references, however, are directed to utilization of a coordination polymer as a storage material for a low-molecular compound (gas), and it is not reported that an accommodated low-molecular compound is polymerized therein.
