Summary on Grant Application Form |

W e seek funding for a single crystal diffractometer with CCD detector to provide a major enhancement of our structure determination capability for small molecules. We seek to support a range of currently funded projects for which our existing 10 year old image plate equipment is inadequate, and also to develop new projects. The two broad areas which will benefit most within the School are in materials and in medicinal and biological chemistry. Within materials, there are specific funded research programmes in high performance polymers, metal cyanides, open framework metal phosphates and analogues, organometallic molecular wires, selective complexation of actinides and nuclear fission products. Within medicinal and biological chemistry, funded programmes include the development of bisintercalating antitumour agents, novel DNA structural motifs and carbohydrate chemistry. The new School of Pharmacy, for which staff recruitment has already started, is to be housed in an extension to the chemistry building, and is expected to generate new programmes in medicinal chemistry and drug delivery. The present proposal is an underpinning technology in all these areas. We request partial support for a PDRA to make the best use of the equipment, to which the University and the School will contribute a total of 50,000.
