Funded Activity Summary

Polymeric materials of tailor-made macrocycles for selective anion capture. This project aims to develop an innovative class of adsorbent materials comprised of macrocycles (large cyclic molecules) tailored to specifically bind toxic anions in water. The project expects to address the key issue of poor selectivity in existing adsorbent materials and generate knowledge in materials chemistry by producing ring-shape anion binding molecules, advancing low-cost synthesis of materials, and providing fundamental insights into anion binding in polymeric materials. Expected outcomes include sensors and adsorbents targeting toxic anions for water quality monitoring and purification. This should provide significant benefits, such as improving water quality and tackling environmental challenges globally and in Australia.
