Design and synthesis of novel lanthanoid complexes for the fabrication of light emitting devices. There is a huge and still growing economy centred around the design and fabrication of low-cost Light Emitting Devices (LEDs), as demonstrated by the excess of US$1.3 billion invested in this field between 2000 and 2007. Nations focused on the production of new and more efficient materials will be at the forefront of these emerging technologies.

There is a huge and still growing economy centred around the design and fabrication of low-cost Light Emitting Devices (LEDs), as demonstrated by the excess of US$1.3 billion invested in this field between 2000 and 2007. Nations focused on the production of new and more efficient materials will be at the forefront of these emerging technologies. The major thrust of this proposal, the design and preparation of luminescent rare earths complexes, and their use for the fabrication of LEDS, represent a good opportunity for Australia to access this growing market.

Summary
Small molecule X-ray molecular structure elucidation facility. X-ray diffraction plays a key role in identification and molecular characterisation. X-ray techniques are the single most widely used analytical resource in structure determination and provide invaluable information for scientists working in the fields of synthesis, nanotechnology, polymer chemistry, and protein chemistry, amongst many others. The facility brings together a multidisciplinary team of scientists and provides state-of-t ....Small molecule X-ray molecular structure elucidation facility.

Confinement of space based on association of water soluble container molecules. The proposed research addresses the use of water soluble bowl shaped molecules or ions (cavitands) in conjunction with metal ions and crown ether and related cryptand molecules to form molecular capsules, two or more of the components being pre-programmed to assemble thus. The new materials will be unique in supramolecular chemistry, with the associated architectures bearing on materials science, molecular electronic ....Confinement of space based on association of water soluble container molecules. The proposed research addresses the use of water soluble bowl shaped molecules or ions (cavitands) in conjunction with metal ions and crown ether and related cryptand molecules to form molecular capsules, two or more of the components being pre-programmed to assemble thus. The new materials will be unique in supramolecular chemistry, with the associated architectures bearing on materials science, molecular electronics, separation sciences, and drug delivery. The new range of water soluble container molecules that will become accessible as part of this proposal, promises new applications in these areas.Read moreRead less
