This PhD project in chemistry will develop metal-based molecular systems that can both detect chemical warfare agents and catalytically break them down into harmless or less harmful products. The research focuses on multifunctional coordination cages : discrete polymetallic architectures with tuneable internal cavities and rich host–guest chemistry. These systems will be designed to combine molecular recognition, optical sensing and catalytic remediation within a single platform. The student wil...
