| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
During the course of the funding, we made significant progress in the work packages WP 1 and WP 2 from the proposal: new metal-organic polyhedra showing cooperative behaviour were developed, and they were characterised using single crystal X-ray diffraction, powder diffraction, and by gas sorption measurements. Currently, a draft publication is in preparation and will be submitted shortly (anticipated to be September 2019).
I also attended the 14th International Symposium on Macrocyclic and Supramolecular Chemistry 2019, in Lecce, Italy. There, I presented a poster on some of the initial results of the project, met collaborators (Prof. C. J. Doonan, University of Adelaide, Australia), and saw talks on the latest research in soft matter, which is a potential application for our materials.
