Switching intermolecular interactions by confinement in carbon nanotubes (2014)
Journal Article
Chamberlain, T., Lebedeva, M., Abuajwa, W., Suyetin, M., Lewis, W., Bichoutskaia, E., …Khlobystov, A. N. (2015). Switching intermolecular interactions by confinement in carbon nanotubes. Chemical Communications, 51(4), 648-651. https://doi.org/10.1039/c4cc08029g

The encapsulation of trityl-functionalised C60 molecules inside carbon nanotubes drastically affects the intermolecular interactions for this species. Whilst the orientations of molecules in the crystal are often controlled by thermodynamics, the mol... Read More about Switching intermolecular interactions by confinement in carbon nanotubes.

The effects of interactions between proline and carbon nanostructures on organocatalysis in the Hajos-Parrish-Eder-Sauer-Wiechert reaction (2014)
Journal Article
Rance, G., & Khlobystov, A. N. (in press). The effects of interactions between proline and carbon nanostructures on organocatalysis in the Hajos-Parrish-Eder-Sauer-Wiechert reaction. Nanoscale, 6, https://doi.org/10.1039/C4NR04009K

The non-covalent interactions of S-(-)-proline with the surfaces of carbon nanostructures (fullerene, nanotubes and graphite) change the nucleophilic-electrophilic and acid-base properties of the amino acid, thus tuning its activity and selectivity i...

Tuning the interactions between electron spins in fullerene-based triad systems (2014)
Journal Article
Lebedeva, M. A., Chamberlain, T. W., Davies, E. S., Thomas, B. E., Schröder, M., & Khlobystov, A. N. (2014). Tuning the interactions between electron spins in fullerene-based triad systems. Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 10, https://doi.org/10.3762/bjoc.10.31

A series of six fullerene-linker-fullerene triads have been prepared by the stepwise addition of the fullerene cages to bridging moieties thus allowing the systematic variation of fullerene cage (C60 or C70) and linker (oxalate or terephthalate) and...

Evaluating the effects of carbon nanoreactor diameter and internal structure on the pathways of the catalytic hydrosilylation reaction (2014)
Journal Article

Three different types of carbon nanoreactors, double-walled nanotubes (DWNT), multi-walled nanotubes (MWNT) and graphitised carbon nanofibers (GNF) have been appraised for the first time as containers for the reactions of phenylacetylene hydrosilylat...
