Journal ArticleDOI
Inorganic crystal engineering using self-assembly of tailored building-blocks
Alexander J. Blake,Neil R. Champness,Peter Hubberstey,Wan-Sheung Li,Matthew A. Withersby,Martin Schröder +5 more
TL;DR: The use of transition metal complexes of bridging bidentate ligands to construct predictable, multi-dimensional infinite networks is an area of chemistry which has received everincreasing attention over recent years as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Supramolecular design of one-dimensional coordination polymers based on silver(I) complexes of aromatic nitrogen-donor ligands
Andrei N. Khlobystov,Alexander J. Blake,Neil R. Champness,Dmitrii A. Lemenovskii,A. G. Majouga,A. G. Majouga,Nikolai V. Zyk,Martin Schröder +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the design and structure of coordination polymers derived from Ag(I) with N-donor ligands and their role in the investigation of weak non-covalent interactions in the solid state are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
High capacity hydrogen adsorption in Cu(II) tetracarboxylate framework materials: the role of pore size, ligand functionalization, and exposed metal sites
Xiang Lin,Irvin Telepeni,Alexander J. Blake,Dailly Anne M,Craig M. Brown,Jason M. Simmons,Marco Zoppi,Gavin S. Walker,K. Mark Thomas,Timothy J. Mays,Peter Hubberstey,Neil R. Champness,Martin Schröder +12 more
TL;DR: A series of isostructural metal-organic framework polymers of composition [Cu2(L)(H2O)2] (L= tetracarboxylate ligands), denoted NOTT-nnn, has been synthesized and characterized and it is suggested that introducing methyl groups or using kinked ligands to create smaller pores can enhance the isosteric heat of adsorption and improve H2 adsorptive capacity.
