Supramolecular solvatochromism: Mechanistic insight from crystallography, spectroscopy and theory
Nikolayenko, Varvara I.,Van Wyk, Lisa M.,Munro, Orde Q.,Barbour, Leonard J.
, p. 6975 - 6978 (2018)
A solvatochromic dinuclear copper(ii) metallocycle effectively traps tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ether and pentane significantly above their boiling points. X-ray crystallography, EPR and UV-visible spectroscopy were used to delineate an empirical relationsh
Construction of one- and two-dimensional coordination polymers using ditopic imidazole ligands
Dobrzańska, Liliana,Lloyd, Gareth O.,Jacobs, Tia,Rootman, Ilse,Oliver, Clive L.,Bredenkamp, Martin W.,Barbour, Leonard J.
, p. 107 - 113 (2006)
A series of ditopic imidazole functionalised ligands have been investigated for their propensity to form one- and two-dimensional coordination polymers with a range of metals. We show that ditopic imidazole ligands have the versatility to be exploited in
Guest-induced conformational switching in a single crystal
Dobrzanska, Liliana,Lloyd, Gareth O.,Esterhuysen, Catharine,Barbour, Leonard J.
, p. 5856 - 5859 (2006)
Without destruction of monocrystallinity: The conformational switching of a dinuclear metal complex between four distinct states (see picture) occurs without destroying the single crystal. This observation implies a substantial degree of cooperativity bet
Single-Crystal to Single-Crystal Uptake of Volatile Solids and Associated Chromatic Response in a Porous Metallocycle
Du Plessis, Marike,Nikolayenko, Varvara I.,Barbour, Leonard J.
, p. 12331 - 12337 (2018)
Guest molecules have been absorbed into crystals of a metallocyclic host by sublimation of volatile solids at room temperature. The guest exchanges are accompanied by color changes. Since the crystals remain intact, evidence of guest inclusion could be ob
