Summary on Grant Application Form |

The aim of this project is to prepare and characterise a range of new inorganic materials with open-framework or microporous structures. Existing examples of this class of materials are economically important and have applications in a number of industries because of their catalytic, ion-exchange and adsorption properties. A number of phosphates and diphosphates incorporating metals from group 13, the transition series e.g. Ti, V, Ni and Rh, and mixed-metal analogues, will be synthesised under solvothermal conditions in the presence of structure-directing agents such as organic bases. The structures of these new phases will be determined using diffraction techniques and their chemical and physical properties including ion-exchange capabilites, thermal behaviour and catalytic activity, investigated. It is anticipated that a number of materials with new 3-,2- and 1-D frameworks and potentially interesting and exploitable properties will be discovered during the course of this work.
