H-Bonding Control of Molecular Self-Assembly

本研究的重点将遵循三大主题。首先，广泛的结构活性关系将建立在氢键稳定的聚集体合成超临界二氧化碳衍生的凝胶的形成。 其次，功能将被纳入聚集体，使新的识别和催化性能的潜力可以实现。 第三，有序组装与控制的孔径在溶液中将应用于超临界二氧化碳衍生的气凝胶的制备进行研究。 有了这个更新奖，有机和高分子化学计划是支持博士安德鲁D。耶鲁大学化学系的汉密尔顿说。 汉密尔顿教授将把他的工作重点放在氢键的发展，作为控制溶液中，固态和干凝胶和气凝胶形成中分子聚集体的结构和性质的途径。 这是可能的材料，为现实世界的应用将产生这种方法。

The focus of this research will follow three major themes. First, extensive structure activity relationships will be established in the formation of hydrogen bond stabilized aggregates synthesized as supercritical carbon dioxide-derived gels . Second, functionality will be incorporated into the aggregates so that the potential for novel recognition and catalytic properties can be realized. Third, ordered assemblies with controlled pore size in solution will be investigated with application to the preparation of supercritical carbon dioxide-derived aerogels. With this renewal award, the Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry Program is supporting the research of Dr. Andrew D. Hamilton from the Department of Chemistry at Yale University. Professor Hamilton will focus his work on the development of hydrogen bonding as a route to controlling the structure and properties of molecular aggregates in solution, in the solid state and in the formation of both xerogels and aerogels. It is probable that materials for real-world applications will arise from this approach.
