Synthesis and characterisation of amino acid derived frameworks
This thesis describes the synthesis and characterisation of a number of metalorganic frameworks, containing amino acids, or ligands derived from amino acids, with the aim of forming homochiral porous materials. The characterisation of two amino-acid derived coordination polymer single crystals by hi...
