Supramolecular chemistry Organic synthesis Molecular recognition

This concept of creating molecular electronic devices has resulted in the development and rapid advance of the field of supramolecular chemistry. Synthetic developments using fundamental concepts such as preorganisation, molecular recognition, self-assembly and template-directed synthesis has resulted in a dramatic increase in the quantity and variety of supramolecular systems that can be made with the potential for functioning as molecular devices. Our work looks at using interlocked architectures as the basis for the development of Sensors : which can encapsulate and sense environmentally or medicinally important anions; Switches or shuttles : in which the orientation or properties of an interlocked system can be changed through the application of external stimuli; and Solid tethered supramolecular systems : to determine the impact of surface confinement on the dynamic molecules and ultimately move towards systems with more practical applications
