Metal Directed Assembly of New Supramolecular Systems. This project is concerned with the use of designed metal-ion directed assembly for the construction of new supramolecular entities incorporating metal complexes as structural elements. A range of novel nanometre-scale architectures is planned, including supramolecular ellipses, squares, cubes and mechanically linked systems. The proposed research has implications for elucidating fundamental aspects of both supramolecular and metal complexation behaviour. It also holds promise for the production of novel materials for which unusual and potentially useful properties can be anticipated.
