One-pot facile synthesis of 4-amino-1,8-naphthalimide derived Tröger's bases via a nucleophilic displacement approach (2017)
Journal Article

We report here a novel one-pot synthetic strategy for the synthesis of a family of N-alkyl-1,8-naphthalimide based Tröger's bases via a nucleophilic substitution reaction of a common ‘precursor’ (or a ‘synthon’) N-aryl-1,8-naphthalimide Tröger's base...

A Schiff-base cross-linked supramolecular polymer containing diiminophenol compartments and its interaction with copper(II) ions (2017)
Journal Article

We report here the preparation of a Schiff-base linked organic polymer 1 based on linkages containing the potent supramolecular aggregator benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide, connected through 2,6-diiminophenol metal binding pockets into a cross-linked pol...

Selectivity differences of coordination compound stationary phases for polyaromatic hydrocarbons and polar analytes in gas and liquid phases (2017)
Journal Article

A precursor solution to the metal–organic framework (MOF), Cd(1,4,7,10-tetrakis(4-carboxybenzyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane), was aged in a surface-functionalised 250 μm-diameter capillary, to generate a film containing the constituents of the bu...

Crystal Engineering of 6-Carboxy-4-aryl-2,2′-bipyridine Complexes: Potent Chelators with Intrinsic Intermolecular Affinity (2017)
Journal Article

Herein we report the coordination chemistry and structural properties of two multifunctional terdentate 2,2′-bipyridine derivatives 4- and 3-(4-nitrophenyl)-2,2′-bipyridine-6-carboxylate, L1/L2, respectively. We report eight new coordination complexe... Read More about Crystal Engineering of 6-Carboxy-4-aryl-2,2′-bipyridine Complexes: Potent Chelators with Intrinsic Intermolecular Affinity.

A folded [2 x 2] metallo-supramolecular grid from a bis-tridentate (1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-picolinamide (tzpa) ligand (2017)
Journal Article

A flexible ditopic ligand 1 containing two N,N,O-tridentate (1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-picolinamide chelating pockets is reported and the formation of multimetallic architectures is explored in the solid and the solution phase. The self-assembled ZnII comp... Read More about A folded [2 x 2] metallo-supramolecular grid from a bis-tridentate (1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-picolinamide (tzpa) ligand.

Benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide n-alkyl ester and carboxylic acid derivatives: tuneable structural, morphological and thermal properties (2017)
Journal Article

A family of five benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide (BTA) compounds with varied side arm functionality [alkyl: n = 3, 4 and 5 chains; and ester and carboyxic acids] is reported. Investigations into their self-assembly behaviour revealed the extent to which...

Coordination chemistry of N-picolyl-1,8-naphthalimides: colourful low molecular weight metallo-gelators and unique chelation behaviours (2017)
Journal Article

We have prepared a series of N-picolyl-1,8-naphthalimide derivatives and explored their coordination chemistry with d-block metal ions in the solid and solution states, and exploited the structural and chemical properties of these ligands to generat...
