Supramolecular Assemblies as Nanoscale Devices to Control Chemical and Physical Processes. The aims of this project are: i) to develop molecular reaction vessels to enhance the rates and control the outcomes of chemical processes; ii) to design and construct supramolecular species with a range of topologies; and iii) to explore the potential use of these supramolecular assemblies as thermal and photochemical switches and molecular tweezers, and as the basis for molecular machines and microelectr ....Supramolecular Assemblies as Nanoscale Devices to Control Chemical and Physical Processes. The aims of this project are: i) to develop molecular reaction vessels to enhance the rates and control the outcomes of chemical processes; ii) to design and construct supramolecular species with a range of topologies; and iii) to explore the potential use of these supramolecular assemblies as thermal and photochemical switches and molecular tweezers, and as the basis for molecular machines and microelectronic devices. The research is expected to provide new and efficient methods for bench-top and industrial scale synthesis of chemicals in water, as well as fundamental advances in nanotechnology to underpin new industries based on advanced materials.Read moreRead less

Supramolecular Rip-n-Sew - New Computational Tools for Modelling Supermolecules. This project will develop new computational tools for predicting the chemical behaviour of large molecular and supramolecular systems with an accuracy and efficiency that has not previously been possible. It will also increase our mechanistic understanding of the principles governing supramolecular assembly in chemical and biological systems. This will enable cost and time savings in the design of advanced material ....Supramolecular Rip-n-Sew - New Computational Tools for Modelling Supermolecules. This project will develop new computational tools for predicting the chemical behaviour of large molecular and supramolecular systems with an accuracy and efficiency that has not previously been possible. It will also increase our mechanistic understanding of the principles governing supramolecular assembly in chemical and biological systems. This will enable cost and time savings in the design of advanced materials in the medical and agricultural contexts.Read moreRead less
