Grant agreement ID: 220035

Project closed

Start date 26 September 2008

End date 25 September 2010

Funded under

• Specific programme "People" implementing the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Community for research, technological development and demonstration activities (2007 to 2013)

Total cost € 169 957,94

EU contribution € 169 957,94

Coordinated by

THE UNIVERSITY OF MANCHESTER
United Kingdom

Objective

The proposal is to learn to use polymetallic cage complexes as building blocks for larger zero-dimensional nano-objects. The approach to be adopted will be to use phosphonate and related ligands to link these cages via a carboxylate displacement reaction that has been developed in Manchester. Once made these compounds will be studied by X-ray crystallography and their magnetic properties examined using a variety of techniques.
