Matthew Greig Cowan has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Selective adsorption of gaseous alkenes into non-porous copper(I) complexes: controlling heat of adsorption and loading pressure
    Patent number: 11517877
    Abstract: Disclosed are air-stable small-molecule adsorbents trimeric [Cu—Br]3 and [Cu—H]3 that undergo a reversible solid-state molecular rearrangements to [Cu—Br.(alkene)]2 and [Cu—H.(alkene)]2 dimers. The reversible solid-state rearrangement allows one to break adsorbent design trade-offs and achieve low heat of adsorption while retaining high selectivity and uptake.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: December 6, 2022
    Assignees: Board of Regents, The University of Texas System, University of Canterbury
    Inventors: Rasika Dias, Matthew Greig Cowan, Devaborniny Parasar
