Funded Activity Summary

Metal Directed Assembly of New Supramolecular Systems. An important aspect of this project is the development of strategies for assembling molecules and metals into larger units - leading to novel compounds and materials for which unusual and potentially useful properties can be anticipated. These may include materials that act as catalysts for chemical reactions or absorb and store gases (such as hydrogen for use as a fuel). More generally, the area is one that will underpin the 'bottom-up' approach (building tiny components from individual molecules and ions) in the rapidly expanding field of nanotechnology. Clearly, if Australia is to remain internationally competitive in such new technologies then an understanding of processes of the type outlined in this proposal will be essential.
