Abstract: To provide a liquid metal complex having an oxygen absorbing ability, containing a cobalt-acacen complex or a derivative thereof, and an ionic liquid in which an ionic ligand having an amine structure and a counter ion thereof are paired, in which the cobalt-acacen complex or the derivative thereof is expressed by general formula (1): and the liquid metal complex has a structure in which the amine structure of the ionic ligand is axially coordinated with a cobalt atom of the cobalt-acacen complex or the derivative thereof.

Abstract: A liquid having oxygen absorbing ability, comprising a cobalt-salen complex or a derivative thereof and an ionic liquid formed from an anion having an amine structure and a cation of an aliphatic quaternary phosphonium or ammonium having alkyl chains with each 2-20 carbon atoms, wherein the anion of the ionic liquid is coordinated to a cobalt ion of the cobalt-salen complex or a derivative thereof.

Abstract: An oxygen separation membrane includes a porous material and a liquid complex contained in the porous material. The complex contains a metal salen complex or a derivative thereof and a first ionic liquid. The first ionic liquid is constituted by an anion having an amine structure and an imidazolium cation, an aliphatic quaternary phosphonium cation, or an ammonium cation that have alkyl chains, alkylene oxide chains, or alkyl ether chains with each 2 to 20 carbon atoms. The anion of the first ionic liquid is axially coordinated to a central metal ion of the metal salen complex or the derivative thereof.

Abstract: Heat-accumulating microcapsule dispersion includes a microcapsule provided as a small-diameter heat-accumulating material including organic compound functioning as heat accumulating material in association with a phase change thereof accommodated within a microcapsule, heat transfer fluid medium including a number of the microcapsules dispersed stably therein, and a number of thermal boundary layer stirring particles dispersed in the heat transfer fluid medium. The stirring particles has a volume average particle diameter between 0.1.times.D and 1.9.times.D relative to a layer thickness D of a thermal boundary layer formed inside a heat exchanging passage through which the dispersion is caused to flow. The particles stir the thermal boundary layer in association with movement thereof inside the heat exchanging passage.
