Generation and Reactivity of Late Transition Metal Hydr(oxo) Complexes Supported by Tripodal Carboxamidate Ligand
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2022)Terminal metal oxo complexes of late transition metals are expected to be powerful oxidants. Their isolation has thus far been limited due to the transient nature as a result of their high reactivity at low temperatures, ... -
Flexible Porous Coordination Polymers from Divergent Photoluminescent 4-Oxo-1,8-naphthalimide Ligands
(2016)Two new luminescent ditopic naphthalimide-derived ligands, N-(4-cyanophenylmethylene)-4-(4-cyanophenoxy)-1,8-naphthalimide (L3) and N-(4-carboxyphenylmethylene)-4-(4-carboxyphenoxy)-1,8-naphthalimide (H2L4), have been ... -
A Mn13-cluster based coordination polymer as a co-catalyst of CdS for enhanced visible-light driven H2 evolution
(2018)A coordination cluster-based polymer was used for the first time as a noble-metal-free co-catalyst of CdS, giving rise to significantly enhanced photocatalytic H2 production. This work demonstrates the feasibility of cluster ... -
Assembly, disassembly and reassembly: a “top-down” synthetic strategy towards hybrid, mixed-metal {Mo10Co6} POM clusters
(2019)Polyoxometalates (POMs) are commonly prepared using a “bottom-up” synthetic procedure. The alternative “top-down” approach of disassembling a pre-formed POM unit to generate new synthetic intermediates is promising, but ... -
Tuning the Catalytic Water Oxidation Activity through Structural Modifications of High-Nuclearity Mn-oxo Clusters [Mn18M] (M = Sr2+, Mn2+)
(2021)The water oxidation half-reaction is considered the bottleneck in the development of technological advances to replace fossil fuels with sustainable and economically affordable energy sources. In natural photosynthesis, ...
