Internally decorated discrete Metallo-supramolecular Assemblies and infinite Metal-Organic Frameworks as molecular containers

在宏观世界中，容器被用来容纳、提供物理保护或为其内容物创建一个修改过的环境。该项目将合成新型分子容器材料，提供能够选择性结合化学物质的装饰内表面。除了建立这些系统的基本原理所带来的突破性科学效益外，作为环境污染物的化学品的结合将为有助于国家优先考虑的“前沿技术”的应用提供基础。此外，这项研究将导致由高质量的国际研究人员培训下一代澳大利亚科学家。

In the macroscopic world, containers are used to hold, provide physical protection, or create a modified environment for their contents. This project will result in the synthesis of novel molecular container materials that provide decorated internal surfaces capable of selectively binding chemical species. In addition to the breakthrough scientific benefits of establishing the fundamentals of these systems, the binding of chemicals, which are environmental contaminants, will provide the grounding for applications that will contribute to the national priority of 'Frontier technologies'. Furthermore, this research will lead to the training of the next generation of Australian scientists by quality international researchers.
