Small Cyano Anions: A Gateway to New Materials

该项目将为一系列新的先进材料生产新的积木。这些阴离子很容易通过高效和成本效益高的合成方法生产出来。从这些积木中将产生新的磁性材料。能够吸收二氧化碳(污染控制)或氢气或甲烷(储能)等气体的多孔材料将成为目标。新的单分子磁体将被合成出来，这些磁体有可能用于信息存储。具有新的磁性、中子俘获或发光特性的新液体将被生产出来。

This project will produce new building blocks for a range of new advanced materials. These anions are produced easily through efficient and cost effective syntheses. From these building blocks new magnetic materials will be produced. Porous materials capable of absorbing gases such as carbon dioxide (pollution control), or hydrogen or methane (energy storage) will be targeted. New single molecule magnets will be synthesised which have potential for use in information storage. New liquids with novel magnetic, neutron capture or luminescent properties will be produced.
