Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

Description Synthesised a range of covalent organic nanocapsules with appropriate functionality for the controlled combination with C[4]-supported polynuclear metal cluster motifs. Synthesised a range of multi-calixarene building blocks with appropriate functionality for the controlled combination with C[4]-supported polynuclear metal cluster motifs. Utilised nanometre scale building blocks to form novel families of polymeric metal-organic frameworks and discrete metal-organic superstructures.
Exploitation Route Fundamental chemistry and physics with potential future application in materials.
