Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The ability of some muftidenate ligands, upon reaction with transition metals, to self-assemble into double and triple stranded helicates has been known for some time. This project exploits the ability of pyridyl-thiazole ligands to form dinuclear triple helicates upon complexation to suitable transition metal ions. Incorporation of substituents onto these ligands will produce, upon complexation, specific cavities. These cavities can be tailored to form receptors for specific molecules such as anions, cations and electron-pooNelectron-rich compounds and the selectivity of the host-guest interaction measured. Furthermore the ability of these helicates to act as a template for trimerising the substituents, effectively forming a calix[3]arene, will also be investigated.Synthesis of cavities is an important area of chemistry due to their ability to be host specific; this has important implications especially in the area of sensors.
