2. 1. Iron-Catalyzed Reactions and X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopic Studies of Palladium- and Ruthenium-Catalyzed Reactions

   Author : Arnar Guðmundsson; Jan-Erling Bäckvall; Hans-Joachim Knölker; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Iron; XAS; Cycloisomerization; DKR; Oxidation; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

   Abstract : The focus of this thesis is twofold: The first is on the application of iron catalysis for organic transformations. The second is on the use of in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) to investigate the mechanisms of a heterogeneous palladium-catalyzed reaction and a homogeneous ruthenium-catalyzed reaction.

6. 4. Probing unoccupied electronic states in aqueous solutions

   Author : Lars-Åke Näslund; Anders Nilsson; Hendrik Bluhm; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; x-ray absorption; x-ray absorption spectroscopy; XAS; NEXAFS; water; liquid water; aqueous solution; hydrogen bond; hydrogen bond network; local geometry; Physics; Fysik;

   Abstract : Water is one of the most common compounds on earth and is essential for all biological activities. Water has, however, been a mystery for many years due to the large number of unusual chemical and physical properties, e.g. decreased volume during melting and maximum density at 4 °C. READ MORE
