This research programme is concerned with the uptake studies of Cu2+, Zn2+ and Mn2+ at
different conditions, by merino wool fibres and also uptake studies of Cu2+ ions by chemically
modified wool fibres. Cu2O particles ...
Welsh, Ivan(Victoria University of Wellington, 2013)
The electron-rich, concave face of corannulene makes it an ideal candidate to host
electron-deficient fullerenes, such as C60. The host–guest system is dominated by weak
van derWaals interactions. Modelling of the ...

Gallium is a molecular solid with many unique properties. Comprised
of Ga2 dimers but exhibiting metal-like electronic characteristics, gallium
may be deemed a molecular metal. The role of this dual covalent-metallic
nature ...
Bartlett, Mark J(Victoria University of Wellington, 2013)
The construction of complex molecular architectures in a facile and efficient manner remains
an overarching goal for the chemical sciences. The development of synthetic linchpins, simple
compounds that are used to join ...
Barassi, Giancarlo(Victoria University of Wellington, 2013)
This study presents a significant advancement in the understanding of the uptake of Cu2+ by
nanostructured calcium silicate (NCaSil) and to develop a strategy of using it in a continuous
manner using packed columns. The ...
