DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Stuart Batten (Monash University)\nWe have synthesis
 ed large (2.7 nm) spherical metallosupramolecules (‘nanoballs’) with i
 nteresting properties [1-3]. Metal ions can be varied with retention of ov
 erall structure and crystal packing. The molecular packing creates cavitie
 s within the solid state\, and the crystals readily absorb solvents such a
 s methanol\, acetonitrile or acetone (which also changes the magnetic prop
 erties)\, and absorb significant amounts of hydrogen and carbon dioxide (b
 ut not methane)\, pointing to a new class of porous materials. Other prope
 rties include switching between two magnetic spin states (spin crossover) 
 upon change in temperature or irradiation of light\, and size-selective ca
 talysis. New packing arrangements of the nanoballs can then be achieved th
 rough variation of the counteranions or nitrile solvent\, leading to new p
 hases with different physical properties.\n\n[1]    M.B. Duriska\, S.M. Ne
