Bridging and Conformational Control of Porphyrin Units through Non-Traditional Rigid Scaffolds
(2020)Connecting two porphyrin units in a rigid linear fashion, without any undesired electron delocalization or communication between the chromophores, remains a synthetic challenge. Herein, a broad library of functionally ... -
Design and Synthesis of Terpyridine Functionalised Supramolecular Architectures
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2021)Coordination-driven supramolecular assembly is an extremely useful tool to generate architectures of increased complexity and functionality, such as metallo-supramolecular gels and emissive materials. Interest in the ... -
Development of Supramolecular Coordination Materials Using Naphthalimide and 2,6-bis(triazol-4-yl)pyridine Motifs
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2022)Structural coordination chemistry can be ultilised to develop functional supramolecular materials such as coordination polymers, soft materials, and metal organic frameworks. By applying the principles of self-assembly an ... -
Elucidating Atropisomerism in Nonplanar Porphyrins with Tunable Supramolecular Complexes
(2021)Atropisomerism is a fundamental feature of substituted biaryls resulting from rotation around the biaryl axis. Different stereoisomers are formed due to restricted rotation about the single bond, a situation often found ... -
Multicomponent halide templating: The effect of structure-directing agents on the assembly of molecular and extended coordination compounds
(2018)This account covers template effects that lead to the formation of polynuclear coordination compounds, with a focus on how the interplay of the structure-directing effects of multiple agents (including inorganic anions and ... -
A Schiff-base cross-linked supramolecular polymer containing diiminophenol compartments and its interaction with copper(II) ions
(2018)We report here the preparation of a Schiff-base linked organic polymer 1 based on linkages containing the potent supramolecular aggregator benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide, connected through 2,6-diiminophenol metal binding ... -
Self-assembled bright luminescent hierarchical materials from a tripodal benzoate antenna and heptadentate Eu(III) and Tb(III) cyclen complexes
(2018)The europium heptadentate coordinatively unsaturated (Eu(III)) and the terbium (Tb(III)) 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (cyclen) complexes 1 and 2 were used in conjunction with ligand 3 (1,3,5-benzene-trisethynylbenzoate) ... -
Self-assembled Ln(III) cyclen-based micelles and AuNPs conjugates as candidates for luminescent and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) agents
(2020)The tetra-substituted heptadentate cyclen (1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane) based Eu(III)/Tb(III)/Gd(III)-complexes 1.Ln and 2.Ln were developed. 1.Eu/Tb and 2.Eu/Tb were employed in the formation of luminescent self-assembling ... -
Solution-state Anion Binding Studies of Urea- and Amide-based Hydrogen-bonding Receptors for the Design of Supramolecular Assemblies
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2019)This work investigates urea- and amide-based hydrogen-binding systems as small-molecule anion-binding receptors, as part of a project in the Gunnlaugsson group to develop complex molecular assemblies built around the ... -
Solution-State Anion Recognition, and Structural Studies, of a Series of Electron-Rich meta-Phenylene Bis(phenylurea) Receptors and Their Self-Assembled Structures
(2018)meta-Phenylene bis(phenylurea) receptors 1-4 were designed and synthesized to investigate the association between receptor shape, anion-selective binding and anion-directed self-assembly processes. Solution studies, performed ... -
Supramolecular soft materials and structural studies of a series of BTA and pyridine-dicarboxamide derivatives with various d-metal ions
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2019)As will be discussed in the introduction, the control and tuning of the self-assembly of supramolecular soft materials is an area of great current interest and importance. A particularly interesting motif for investigating ... -
Thiourea organocatalysts as emerging chiral pollutants: En route to porphyrin-based (chir)optical sensing
(2021)Environmental pollution with chiral organic compounds is an emerging problem requiring innovative sensing methods. Amino-functionalized thioureas, such as 2-(dimethylamino)cyclohexyl-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)thiourea ...
