Synthesis and characterisation of rylene diimide dimers using molecular handcuffs (2019)
Journal Article
Yang, L., Langer, P., Davies, E. S., Baldoni, M., Wickham, K., Besley, N. A., …Champness, N. R. (2019). Synthesis and characterisation of rylene diimide dimers using molecular handcuffs. Chemical Science, 10(13), 3723-3732. https://doi.org/10.1039/c9sc00167k

A strategy for positioning, and loosely connecting, molecules in close proximity using mechanically interlocked handcuffs is described. The strategy is demonstrated using rylene diimides, creating dimeric structures in which two components are linked...

Characterisation of redox states of metal-organic frameworks by growth on modified thin-film electrodes (2018)
Journal Article
Mitra, T., Moreau, F., Nevin, A., Perotto, C. U., Summerfield, A., Davies, E. S., Schröder, M., Gibson, E., & Easun, T. L. (in press). Characterisation of redox states of metal-organic frameworks by growth on modified thin-film electrodes. Chemical Science, https://doi.org/10.1039/C8SC00803E

The application of metal-organic framework (MOF) materials in electrochemical and electrochromic devices remain rare. One of the main reasons for this is the inability to readily access their detailed electrochemistry. The inherent insolubility of th...

Heterobimetallic [NiFe] complexes containing mixedCO/CN− ligands: analogs of the active site of the [NiFe]hydrogenases (2018)
Journal Article
Perotto, C. U., Sodipo, C. L., Jones, G. J., Tidey, J. P., Blake, A. J., Lewis, W., Davies, E. S., McMaster, J., & Schröder, M. (in press). Heterobimetallic [NiFe] complexes containing mixedCO/CN− ligands: analogs of the active site of the [NiFe]hydrogenases. Inorganic Chemistry, 57(5), https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.inorgchem.7b02905

The development of synthetic analogs of the active sites of [NiFe] hydrogenases remains challenging and, in spite of the number of complexes featuring a [NiFe] center, those featuring CO and CN− ligands at the Fe center are under-represented. We repo... Read More about Heterobimetallic [NiFe] complexes containing mixedCO/CN− ligands: analogs of the active site of the [NiFe]hydrogenases.

Core-substituted naphthalene diimides: influence of substituent conformation on strong visible absorption (2017)
Journal Article
Quinn, S., Davies, E. S., Pfeiffer, C. R., Lewis, W., McMaster, J., & Champness, N. R. (2017). Core-substituted naphthalene diimides: influence of substituent conformation on strong visible absorption. ChemPlusChem, 82(3), 489-492. https://doi.org/10.1002/cplu.201700059

Substitution of the aromatic core of naphthalene diimide (NDI) chromophores by morpholine leads to molecules with strong absorbance in the visible spectrum. The shift of absorption maxima to lower energy is determined not only by the degree of substi...
