Click chemistry in carbon nanoreactors (2012)
Journal Article

Copper-nanoparticle catalytic centres anchored at the 5 graphitic step-edges within hollow carbon nanoreactors exhibit superior activity and stability in cycloaddition reactions as compared to catalytic centres outside the nanoreactors. Nanoscale con... Read More about Click chemistry in carbon nanoreactors.

Theoretical study of the electronic spectra of small molecules that incorporate analogues of the copper-cysteine bond (2012)
Journal Article

The copper-sulphur bond which binds cysteinate to the metal centre is a key factor in the spectroscopy of blue copper proteins. We present theoretical calculations describing the electronically excited states of small molecules, including CuSH, CuSCH...

A partially interpenetrated metal-organic framework for selective hysteretic sorption of carbon dioxide (2012)
Journal Article

The selective capture of carbon dioxide in porous materials has potential for the storage and purification of fuel and flue gases. However, adsorption capacities under dynamic conditions are often insufficient for practical applications, and strategi...
