Toward the Synthesis of Designed Metal-Organic Materials
Metal-Organic Materials (MOMs) are an emerging class of crystalline solids that offer the potential for utilitarian design, as one of the greatest scientific challenges is to design functional materials with foreordained properties and eventually synthesize custom designed compounds for projected …

Quantum Chemical Studies for the Engineering of Metal Organic Materials
<p>Metal Organic Materials (MOM) are composed of transition metal ions as connectors and organic ligands as linkers. MOMs have been found to have high porosity, catalytic, and optical properties. Here we study the gas adsorption, color change, and non-linear optical properties of MOMs. These …

Bismuth-, Tin-, and Lead-Containing Metal-Organic Materials: Synthesis, Structure, Photoluminescence, Second Harmonic Generation, and Ferroelectric Properties
<p>Metal-Organic Materials (MOMs) contain metal moieties and organic ligands that combine to form discrete (e.g. metal-organic polyhedra, spheres or nanoballs, metal-organic polygons) or polymeric structures with one-, two-, or three-dimensional periodicities that can exhibit a variety of …

Monolayer terpyridyl metal complexes for high-efficiency electrochromic materials
Electrochromic materials (ECMs) can change their color with changes of applied electrochemical potential. Currently, the use of ECMs in the industry is limited to mainly inorganic metal oxides, conjugated conducting polymers, and liquid crystal-based materials. Hybrid metal-organic materials belong …

Chemical Spin Patterning in Metal-Organic Frameworks
… fundamental and technological implications. As metal-organic-frameworks (MOFs) are highly tailorable materials, this thesis will examine the utilization of MOF platforms to engineer bespoke spin properties. Through deliberate manipulation of magnetic interactions, we engineer custom magnetic …

Self-Assembly of Functional Helical Metallopolymers
Self-assembled metal-organic materials have been championed as candidates for the next generation of functional materials. This has been attributed to their ‘bottom-up’ design and preparation, error-checking mechanisms, chemical tuneability, and novel functionality arising from the metal centres. …

Metal-organic nanowires
Metal-organic nanowires exhibit not only the properties of one-dimensional structures including ultra-small scale, large surface-to-volume ratio etc., but also obvious advantages in their tunable properties and label-free sensing ability by optical or electrical readout. Thus, the evaluation of …
