Abiotic Supramolecular Systems
Abstract
The goal of this research project was to develop new concepts for the preparation of supramolecular and larger structures with unusual and desirable properties based upon coordination chemistry. The following objectives were specifically targeted: (1) new and flexible types of supramolecular allosteric catalysts, (2) MOFs capable of recognizing and separating molecules in novel and efficient ways, (3) bio-inspired structures that facilitate directional energy transfer, and (4) a new class of selective and extremely sensitive chemical sensors based on signal transduction and signal amplification strategies within supramolecular assemblies. The progress made over the grant period is detailed in this report.
