Design and Assembly of Chiral Metallosupramolecular Systems for Sensing Applications

This thesis studies how carefully designed metal-based molecules can be made to recognise and respond to other molecules. These molecules can create small spaces called binding pockets, which may help with problems such as separating chiral molecules. The research looks at how small changes in the building blocks of these metal-based systems affect the way they form and behave. By understanding how these small features control the assembly process, the work helps improve our ability to design better molecular sensors and recognition systems.
