Supramolecular assemblies based on polyoxometalates and pillar[n]arenes KU Leuven
In this project we propose the design of novel inorganic/organic hybrid systems based on the supramolecular recognition involving noncovalent interactions. These systems will consist of archetypal polyoxometalate (POM) clusters such as the Lindqvist, Anderson, Keggin and Dawson polyanions and a family of macrocyclic organic compounds known as pillar[n]arenes(n=5-8). A bottom-up approach will be followed to investigate the nature of ...
