Brief description Anion-templated functional architectures. This project aims to introduce a method for preparing large, complex materials from relatively simple precursors. Negatively-charged species, anions, will be used to assemble positively-charged organic molecules into three-dimensional structures, including cages and porous framework materials. This will increase fundamental understanding of how anions behave and their use in self-assembly processes. The structures made using this approach are expected to remove dangerous environmental pollutants from water and store the industrially-relevant gases, hydrogen and carbon dioxide. This offers potential applications in clean energy technology (e.g. hydrogen storage for fuel cells) and environmental remediation (carbon dioxide storage, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon removal).
