- Additional information
- This paper established a new approach for combining chirality with conductivity. As well as being a rare chiral metal, the material also shows a unique type of insulator-metal transition giving it molecular switching capability close to room temperature. The opportunity to exploit this discovery underpinned a successful application for a Leverhulme Trust Research Grant (RFG-2019-242, £164k) to develop a family of these materials. A PhD student has been additionally awarded a Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) Summer Programme grant to work on this material and its stereoisomers with co-authors at Osaka University.
