Journal ArticleDOI

Brian Huskinson,Michael P. Marshak,Changwon Suh,Süleyman Er,Michael R. Gerhardt,Cooper J. Galvin,Xu-Dong Chen,Alán Aspuru-Guzik,Roy G. Gordon,Michael J. Aziz +9 more
TL;DR: This work describes a class of energy storage materials that exploits the favourable chemical and electrochemical properties of a family of molecules known as quinones, and demonstrates a metal-free flow battery based on the redox chemistry of 9,10-anthraquinone-2,7-disulphonic acid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Controlled generation of heterochiral or homochiral coordination polymer: helical conformational polymorphs and argentophilicity-induced spontaneous resolution
TL;DR: In the pair of helical conformational polymorphs of the coordination polymer, the 2(1) helices of opposite chirality in one supramolecular isomer are stacked alternately to form a racemate, while the 4(1] helices in the other are assembled homochirally by inter-chain argentophilic interaction to generate a conglomerate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Supramolecular frameworks assembled via intermolecular lone pair-aromatic interaction between carbonyl and pyridyl groups
TL;DR: In this article, four types of unconventional intermolecular CO⋯π interactions between carbonyl and pyridyl moieties are identified in the construction of two supramolecular frameworks from mononuclear Cu(II) building blocks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Single-strand helical complexes constructed from 2-pyridinyl-3-pyridinylmethanone: tuning the helical pitch length by variation of metal cation and/or counter anion
Xu-Dong Chen,Thomas C. W. Mak +1 more
TL;DR: A series of helical complexes synthesized by the reaction of L with various metal salts, in which L exhibits three kinds of coordination modes involving two kinds of bridging conformations, resulting in four types of single-strand helical chains, suggest that the pitch length can be tuned by the size of metal cations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Order of the coordinating ability of polyatomic monoanions established from their interaction with a disilver(I) metallacyclophane skeleton.
Xu-Dong Chen,Thomas C. W. Mak +1 more
TL;DR: An ordered sequence of the coordinating ability of a series of polyatomic monoanions has been established on the basis of structural parameters derived from their interaction with a disilver(I) metallacyclophane skeleton in isostructural complexes.
