| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
This grant focused on three key research areas (A, B and C).
A - Optimization of the cascade reaction: Analysis of the first generation (G1) of five molecules complete with photophysical, thermal and electrochemical analysis was completed in Year 2. In year 3 a further 8 molecules were prepared and tested. B - Studies of the cascade reaction in plastic/solid media: This part of the project was expanded from polymers and gels to also include other media such as micelles and pickering emulsions in conjunction with Assistant Professor M. Louis in the Kawai laboratory at NAIST. A Masters student has begun work on this topic. With the conclusion of my research position this part of the research topic will be continued in conjunction with Dr. Louis in NAIST. C - Expansion of frameworks towards detection of X-rays: A further second generation (G2) of eight targets designed to increase X-Ray absorption have now been prepared and fully characterized. These are added to the first generation prepared in Year 1 of this project. With the conclusion of my research position this part of the research topic will be continued in conjunction with Dr. Louis in NAIST.
A number of papers in these areas have been published
