Supramolecular nesting of cyclic polymers (2015)
Journal Article
Kondratuk, D. V., Perdigão, L. M., Esmail, A. M., O'Shea, J. N., Beton, P. H., & Anderson, H. L. (2015). Supramolecular nesting of cyclic polymers. Nature Chemistry, 7(4), 317-322. https://doi.org/10.1038/nchem.2182

Advances in template-directed synthesis make it possible to create artificial molecules with protein-like dimensions, directly from simple components. These synthetic macromolecules have a proclivity for self-organization that is reminiscent of biopo... Read More about Supramolecular nesting of cyclic polymers.

Vernier-Templated Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Supramolecular Chemistry of a 12-Porphyrin Nanoring (2014)
Journal Article
Kondratuk, D. V., Sprafke, J. K., O'Sullivan, M. C., Perdigão, L. M., Saywell, A., Malfois, M., …Anderson, H. L. (2014). Vernier-Templated Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Supramolecular Chemistry of a 12-Porphyrin Nanoring. Chemistry - A European Journal, 20(40), 12826-12834. https://doi.org/10.1002/chem.201403714

Vernier templating exploits a mismatch between the number of binding sites in a template and a reactant to direct the formation of a product that is large enough to bind several template units. Here, we present a detailed study of the Vernier-templat... Read More about Vernier-Templated Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Supramolecular Chemistry of a 12-Porphyrin Nanoring.

Charge transfer from an adsorbed ruthenium-based photosensitizer through an ultra-thin aluminium oxide layer and into a metallic substrate (2014)
Journal Article
Gibson, A. J., Temperton, R. H., Handrup, K., Weston, M., Mayor, L. C., & O'Shea, J. N. (2014). Charge transfer from an adsorbed ruthenium-based photosensitizer through an ultra-thin aluminium oxide layer and into a metallic substrate. Journal of Chemical Physics, 140(234708), Article 234708. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4882867

The interaction of the dye molecule N3 (cis-bis(isothiocyanato)bis(2,2-bipyridyl-4,4′-dicarbo-xylato)-ruthenium(II)) with the ultra-thin oxide layer on a AlNi(110) substrate, has been studied using synchrotron radiation based photoelectron spectrosco...

Height dependent molecular trapping in stacked cyclic porphyrin nanorings (2014)
Journal Article
Wieland, M. B., Perdigão, L. M., Kondratuk, D. V., O'Shea, J. N., Anderson, H. L., & Beton, P. H. (2014). Height dependent molecular trapping in stacked cyclic porphyrin nanorings. Chemical Communications, 50(55), 7332-7335. https://doi.org/10.1039/c4cc02629b

Stacked layers of cyclic porphyrin nanorings constitute nanoscale receptacles with variable height and diameter which preferentially adsorb sublimed molecules. Using scanning tunnelling microscopy we determine the filling capacity of these nanoring t... Read More about Height dependent molecular trapping in stacked cyclic porphyrin nanorings.
