Porous macromolecular dihydropyridyl frameworks exhibiting catalytic and halochromic activity (2014)
Journal Article
Xiao, B., Easun, T. L., Dhakshinamoorthy, A., Cebula, I., Beton, P. H., Titman, J. J., …Schröder, M. (2014). Porous macromolecular dihydropyridyl frameworks exhibiting catalytic and halochromic activity. Journal of Materials Chemistry A, 2(46), 19889-19896. https://doi.org/10.1039/c4ta02521k

New porous macromolecular frameworks (PMFs) have been designed and prepared by the condensation of dialdehydes with aminoacrylonitriles. Two porous materials were prepared by reacting 3,3′-benzene-1,4-diylbis(3-aminoprop-2-enenitrile) with benzene-1,...

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.

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.

Common Physical Framework Explains Phase Behavior and Dynamics of Atomic, Molecular, and Polymeric Network Formers (2014)
Journal Article
Whitelam, S., Tamblyn, I., Haxton, T. K., Wieland, M. B., Champness, N. R., Garrahan, J. P., & Beton, P. H. (2014). Common Physical Framework Explains Phase Behavior and Dynamics of Atomic, Molecular, and Polymeric Network Formers. Physical Review X, 4(1), Article 011044. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevX.4.011044

We show that the self-assembly of a diverse collection of building blocks can be understood within a common physical framework. These building blocks, which form periodic honeycomb networks and nonperiodic variants thereof, range in size from atoms t...
