Metal-Acetylide Organic Frameworks: Synthesis, Characterization and Application Studies

IAS Visiting Fellow Professor Wai-Yeung Wong delivers a seminar on their research -

Graphynes are non-natural carbon allotropes associated with periodic acetylene linkages that involve a mixed hybridization of spn (1 < n < 2). However, related research work on the metallated graphynes is much less explored. In this talk, an interesting family of metal-acetylide organic frameworks (or metallated graphynes) with different ligand structures will be presented. Bottom-up nanosheets with different topological structures, pore sizes, surface areas and advanced functionalities (e.g. tunable optical, electronic and catalytic properties) can be prepared by different monomer combinations. It is shown that this new class of organometallic 2D nanomaterials can find applications in the fields of nonlinear optics and catalysis.

Arrivals from 11:45 am for a 12:00 noon start. For those joining in-person, lunch will be served after the seminar from 1:00pm.

This event is hybrid format, please use the required booking button at the bottom of the page to choose either in-person or online attendance.
(Please note that in-person spaces are limited and booking is required, so we can manage numbers for catering and also the space in the seminar room)

By booking a place at this event, attendees agree to behave in a respectful manner such that everyone feels comfortable contributing as they wish. The IAS reserves the right to eject anyone who does not abide by this policy.

IAS seminars are typically recorded, minus any Q&A sessions at the end, again to encourage contributions. The recordings are then uploaded to our website on a Fellows bio page and/or Programme page, along with our IAS YouTube Channel. If you are not able to attend a seminar live, please do still register for the Zoom Webinar, as we will email everyone who registered to let them know once the recordings are made available.
