Journal ArticleDOI
Selective Adsorption of Sulfur Dioxide in a Robust Metal–Organic Framework Material
Mathew Savage,Yongqiang Cheng,Timothy L. Easun,Jennifer E. Eyley,Stephen P. Argent,Mark R. Warren,William Lewis,Claire A. Murray,Chiu C. Tang,Mark D. Frogley,Gianfelice Cinque,Junliang Sun,Svemir Rudić,Richard T. Murden,Michael J. Benham,Andrew N. Fitch,Alexander J. Blake,Anibal J. Ramirez-Cuesta,Sihai Yang,Martin Schröder +19 more
TL;DR: In-depth structural and spectroscopic investigations using X-rays, infrared, and neutrons define the underlying interactions that cause SO2 to bind more strongly than CO2 and N2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asymmetric lithium(I) and copper(II) alkoxy-N-heterocyclic carbene complexes; crystallographic characterisation and Lewis acid catalysis.
Polly L. Arnold,Mark Rodden,Kate M. Davis,Andrew C. Scarisbrick,Alexander J. Blake,Claire Wilson +5 more
TL;DR: One-pot synthesis of a wide range of bidentate, alkoxide-Nheterocyclic carbene ligands provides new lithium alkoxy carbenes and a range of covalently bound organometallic Cu(II) carbene complexes, which are catalytically active, in some cases enantioselectively, for conjugate addition reactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multi-modal bridging ligands; effects of ligand functionality, anion and crystallisation solvent in silver(I) co-ordination polymers
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of solvent and anion on the formation of co-ordination polymers of silver(I) and the multi-modal ligands 2,2′-bipyrazine (bpyz) and pyrazino[2,3-f]quinoxaline (pyq) has been studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Non‐Natural Eight‐Connected Solid‐State Materials: A New Coordination Chemistry
De-Liang Long,Robert J. Hill,Alexander J. Blake,Neil R. Champness,Peter Hubberstey,Davide M. Proserpio,Claire Wilson,Martin Schröder +7 more
TL;DR: Non‐CsCl topologies for eight‐connected solid‐state materials have been observed for the first time in three networks based on lanthanide cations and 4,4′‐bipyridine‐N,N′‐dioxide ligands.
Journal ArticleDOI
In situ ligand synthesis and construction of an unprecedented three-dimensional array with silver(i): a new approach to inorganic crystal engineering
TL;DR: In this paper, a three-dimensional network based upon a cyclobutane-linked tetrapyridyl ligand was constructed by 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,33,34
