Synthetic Approaches to Metal-Organic Frameworks and Coordination Cages Incorporating Heterocycle-Based Linkers

Abstract

This thesis, entitled Synthetic Approaches to Metal-Organic Frameworks and Coordination Cages Incorporating Heterocycle-Based Linkers, focuses on the synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and coordination cages using linkers containing heterocyclic groups. This study aims to design, synthesise, and characterise stable photoactive metal-organic materials. The resulting materials were characterised using single crystal X-ray diffraction, and their potential application as porous and photoactive materials is explored.
