Carbon nanothreads, also known as diamond nanothreads, are 1D-crystalline polymers formed from sp3 bonded carbon. They are formed by compressing molecular species (e.g. benzene, pyridine, furan) at extreme pressures.
My research specifically focusses on controlling nanothread formation pathways via heteroatom incorporation.

Phosphine Coordination materials
Phosphine Coordination materials
Phosphine Coordination Materials (PCMs) are a new class of porous coordination polymers that use suitably functionalized phosphine ligands to link between metal nodes. The P(III) phosphine site allows for a wide variety of both pre- and post-synthetic modifications.
My research specifically focused on two areas:
- The discovery of new PCM materials based on tris(p-carboxylato) triphenyl phosphine P(C6H4COOH)3
- The incorporation of catalytically active metal species via pre-, peri- and post-synthetic modification
