New porous liquids, their properties and applications Cathal Kelly (2723869) PUREID: 614859175 Porous liquids supramolecular chemistry cryptophanes noria click chemistry flow chemistry hydrogen-bonded capsules This thesis studies the design, synthesis, and application of new porous liquids. Chapter 1 is a general introduction into the field of porous liquids, with a review of the relevant literature. Chapter 2 studies the usage of hydrogen-bonded capsules as potential hosts for type-2 porous liquids, with the aim of generating switchable porous hosts. Chapter 3 studies the surface functionalisation of existing porous hosts with the aim of generating more concentrated porous liquids in more industrially relevant hosts. This chapter also examines a phenomenon wherein porous liquids exhibit reduced gas uptake in comparison to the neat solvent on which they're based. This is a novel effect. Chapter 4 studies the implementation of porous hosts as reaction media in continuous flow chemistry when using a gaseous reagent. This allowed for an increased product conversion in comparison to a non-porous solvent. Chapter 5 is a conclusion of the thesis, which highlights some potential future work.<br> 2026-10-01T16:32:52Z Text Thesis 10.17034/32640252.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/thesis/New_porous_liquids_their_properties_and_applications/32640252 All Rights Reserved
