The 1000th paper describes new work by Dr William Gee and Professor Stuart Batten from Monash University, who are exploring a new class of materials with potential applications in molecular sensing, carbon dioxide capture, and hydrogen-fuelled transportation. The researchers varied their processing conditions to transform the same components into a series of different compounds with diverse structures, and used synchrotron x-ray crystallography at the Australian Synchrotron to determine the crystal structures of their new compounds.
