Dr. Gellert Mezei, Removal of anionic contaminants from water using nanojars Zoom Event - Email edwardwthomas@gmail.com for an invite to event Selective binding and transport of highly hydrophilic anions is ubiquitous innature, as anion binding proteins can differentiate between similar anions withover a million-fold efficiency. While comparable selectivity has occasionally beenachieved for certain anions using small, artificial receptors, the selective bindingof certain anions, such as sulfate in the presence of carbonate, remains a verychallenging task. Nanojars have emerged as a new class of anion binding andextraction agents of unparalleled efficiency. Nanojars are neutral, nano-sizedtoroidal copper(II)-hydroxide/pyrazolate assemblies comprised of a series ...
