个人简介

Steve obtained an MChem degree from the University of Oxford where he began his research career with a Part II project in the group of Sir Prof. Jack Baldwin. He continued his research training with a PhD in natural product synthesis under the supervision of Prof. Tony Barrett before shifting focus to apply his synthetic skills to the realisation of mechanically interlocked non-natural products during post doctoral work with Prof. David Leigh at the University of Edinburgh where in 2007 he was appointed as Fixed Term Lecturer in Organic Chemistry. In 2008 he moved to Queen Mary with the award of a Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellowship and in October 2009 he was awarded a Royal Society University Research Fellowship. In October 2014 the group moved to the University of Southampton where Steve took up the position of Associate Professor. In August 2017, Steve was promoted to Professor of Chemistry. Research in the Goldup Group focusses on the synthesis of novel mechanically interlocked molecules and their application as sensors, catalysts and materials.

研究领域

Applications of Mechanically Interlocked Molecules Our general research focus is on the synthesis and applications of mechanically interlocked molecules such as rotaxanes (an example of which is shown in the centre on the right) and catenanes. These challenging molecules have been shown to have potential applications in catalysis, drug delivery, electronic materials and sensing. We also investigate new synthetic methods and the underlying mechanism of organic reactions in order to develop molecular machines which carry out synthetic tasks to produce novel materials that are extremely hard to access in other ways – a trick we know can be used to great effect as many such devices are found in living cells! Size Matters: Active template synthesis of functional interlocked molecules The active template approach to mechanically interlocked molecules is a versatile and powerful method for synthesising catenanes and rotaxanes which are impossible to form using other methods and the first approach capable of operating with substochiometric quantities of template. Mechanical Bonding to Stabilise Reactive Intermediates – a Stable Cu(I) Organometallic We have recently extended our small macrocycle AT-CuAAC methodology to the synthesis of a sterically protected Cu(I)-organometallic which survives column chromatography and aqueous work up. It can even be synthesised under aqueous conditions! This is only the second example of an isolated Cu-triazolide and the first to display this level of stability. This further demonstrates the potential of the mechanical bond to stabilise reactive species and we are currently investigating the properties of these extremely unusual copper complexes. Mechanically Chiral Rotaxanes Interlocked structures such as catenanes, rotaxanes and knots can display molecular asymmetry as a direct result of the mechanical bond. However, relatively few such molecules have been isolated enantiopure because the methods needed to produce them (usually chiral stationary phase HPLC) are not suited to large scale investigations. We recently demonstrate the first scalable synthesis of mechanically planar chiral rotaxanes in high enantiopurity, using a “chiral auxiliary” type approach: the AT-CuAAC reaction using a covalently chiral stopper was used to synthesise and separate mechanical diastereomers that differ only in the orientation of the macrocycle. Subsequent cleavage of the auxiliary from the separated diastereoisomers led to mechanically chiral rotaxanes in >99% ee. We are now working to extend this approach to other active template reactions and investigate the properties of this newly accesible form of molecular asymmetry.
