This thesis outlines work carried out in the last three years concerning the development of novel, atom-economic, catalytic syntheses of amide bonds, determination of the ranges of these reactions through substrate screenings and investigations into the mechanisms by which the reactions are operating. In Chapter 1, an introduction to amide bonds is given, after which a discussion on the synthesis of amide bonds is presented, covering direct coupling methods, enzymatic methods and both non-metal catalysts and metal catalysts used for amide bond synthesis. In the Results and Discussion section, an iron catalysed coupling of nitriles and amines is presented in Chapter 2. In Chapter 3, firstly the development of an indium and zinc catalysed rearrangement of aldoximes into primary amides is discussed, followed by development of a novel, nickel catalysed coupling of aldehydes and amines. Detailed mechanistic studies using 18O labelled substrates are then presented for both of these reactions. Chapter 4 details work on a novel, hydroxylamine hydrochloride catalysed transamidation of primary amides with amines, including 1H NMR studies to attempt to elucidate the mechanism of the reaction. Finally, in Chapter 5, work investigating the direct coupling of unactivated carboxylic acids and amines is discussed, followed by an investigation into suitable catalysts to improve the efficiency of the reaction and a comparison of the rates in the catalysed and uncatalysed reactions for a wide range of substrates.

The synthesis of new biological and polymeric supramolecular synthons and their assembly into unique supramolecular architectures is presented. These new supramolecular synthons are functionalized with ligands that compliment metallated pincer complexes. Through the use of ditopic metallated pincer complexes these supramolecular synthons can be self-assembled into infinite linear chains. The first class of supramolecular synthons synthesized were based on cyclic peptide units, by embedding a pyridyl unit into the side-chain of one of the peptide residues the cyclic structure can be coordinated to a metallated pincer complex. It is proposed that these supramolecular architectures may be further enhanced by incorporating multiple pyridyl units along the cyclic peptide backbone and coordinating them through multitopic pincer complexes to give porous membrane structures. The second class of supramolecular synthons is based on photoluminescent X-shaped cruciform molecules. By terminating one axis with pyridyl moieties these units may be assembled into fluorescent coordination polymers with good solution processable characteristics. This work is concluded with several synthetic routes to overcome the current limitations of our first generation of cruciform coordination polymers and cyclic peptide structures.
