NONCOVALENTLY BONDED AGGREGATE, ITS PRODUCTION METHOD, MECHANICALLY BONDED AGGREGATE OBTAINED BY DIRECT CONVERSION OF FORMER AGGREGATE, AND ITS DIRECT CONVERSION METHOD

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a noncovalently bonded aggregate prepared from a compound as a structural unit which constitutes the aggregate, its production method, a mechanically bonded aggregate obtained by the direct conversion of the noncovalently bonded aggregate, and a method for producing the mechanically bonded aggregate by direct conversion. SOLUTION: The mechanically bonded aggregate is represented by the formula. In the formula, Z and Q are each a substituent; X is an arbitrary atomic or molecular anion, provided that Z has such a structure that Z is larger than the inside diameter of dibenzo-24-crown-8-ether and therefore can not pass through the crown ether ring; and l, m, and n are arbitrary numbers and can form any combination on condition that their sum is 5 or larger.
