Current projects:
My
current project revolves around understanding the link between electronic structure and electron transport properties of extended metal atom chain (EMAC). These complexes are built from helical array of oligo-α-pyridyl ligands which is used to support
a frame of metal centres. These structures have been the subject of a protracted debate in the inorganic chemistry community due to their polymorphism – they exist is symmetric and unsymmetic forms. My current objective is to relate the fundamental electronic
structure of these EMAC complexes to their conductance as measured, for example, by STM. Ultimately, an understanding of these phenomena will be essential to the development of new computer architectures based on molecular-scale components.
