Synthesis, Characterization, and Impact of Water on the Stability of Postmodified Schiff Base Containing Metal–Organic Frameworks (2023)
Journal Article

In this study, the synthesis of a Schiff base containing metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) of the UiO-67 family has been investigated. MOFs featuring free amine groups were successfully synthesized under mild solvothermal conditions using 2-amino-[1,1′...

Synthesis of α-amino acid derived (1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-picolinamide (tzpa) ligands and their corresponding luminescent Tb(iii) complexes (2023)
Journal Article

The synthesis of chiral a-amino acid derived (1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-picolinamide (tzpa) ligands 4-6 designed by combining the coordination properties of two well-known ligand structures within a single unit is described. The self-assembly formation bet... Read More about Synthesis of α-amino acid derived (1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-picolinamide (tzpa) ligands and their corresponding luminescent Tb(iii) complexes.

Synthesis of C6-modified mannose 1-phosphates and evaluation of derived sugar nucleotides against GDP-mannose dehydrogenase. (2022)
Journal Article

Sufferers of cystic fibrosis are at significant risk of contracting chronic bacterial lung infections. The dominant pathogen in these cases is mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Such infections are characterised by overproduction of the exopolysaccharide...

Crystal engineering studies of a series of pyridine-3,5-dicarboxamide ligands possessing alkyl ester arms, and their coordination chemistry (2022)
Journal Article

Five pyridine-3,5-dicarboxamide, 3,5-pda, ligands were synthesised and characterised. All of these ligands possess pendant arms with terminal carboxylic esters. The crystal structures of several of these ligands were obtained, these demonstrating var...
