Two ditopic and one tetratopic dialkylamidinium-containing compounds were synthesized and their ability to form hydrogen-bonded networks or frameworks with polycarboxylate anions was studied. A series...

Supramolecular frameworks, ordered porous networks assembled by noncovalent interactions, are a broad class of functional materials with emergent combinations of properties arising from the relatively...

Threefold symmetric hexa-cationic hydrazone cages coordinate a range of transition metal ions upon deprotonation. When the cage contains ethyl solubilising groups the expected threefold symmetric cag...

To create and contribute to the creation of knowledge by undertaking a specified range of activities within an established research programme and/or specific research project.

A tetratopic halogen-bond donor with a discrete cation binding site was designed and synthesised. When crystallised with NaCl, a 3D framework is formed where the charge-balancing cation is sequestere...

Selective anion recognition remains a key challenge in supramolecular chemistry: only a very small number of systems that can function in water are known, and these nearly always preferentially bind h...

Hydrogen-bonded frameworks were prepared from a tetra-amidinium component and three-dimensional cubane and bicyclopentane dicarboxylate linkers. Despite the incorporation of aliphatic components, the ...
