Funded Activity Summary

Nanoporous Molecular Frameworks: Chirality, Host-Guest Chemistry and Nanoscale Templation. Molecular frameworks are a new class of nanoporous material that promise a range of applications due to their reversible, selective guest-exchange and their great structural and chemical versatility. This project addresses three points of focus within this area: 1) the use of homochiral (handed) frameworks for molecular enantioseparations, 2) the mechanisms of guest-exchange in these systems, and 3) the use of these materials as porous templates within which other nanostructured materials may be grown. In addition to having considerable fundamental interest, the work promises a number of significant commercial benefits in the areas of drug purification and nanomaterials.
