This thesis, entitled "Templated synthesis of novel molecules and materials using 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazole supramolecular building blocks", describes the facile synthetic modification of the 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazole motif in the development and characterisation of new ligands and their various discrete and polymeric supramolecular systems. Chapter 1 introduces the most recent advances from the literature involving the supramolecular chemistry of the 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazole. Particular attention is paid to 2,6-bis(1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)pyridine and 2-(1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)pyridine moieties. The applications of these motifs in the formation of various functional systems such as metallo-supramolecular gels, porous coordination polymers and mechanically interlocked systems is summarised. Chapter 2 details the successful synthetic modification of the 2,6-bis(1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)pyridine core and characterisation of several new metal-chelating systems. Chapter...
