1. Chemo-Enzymatic Epoxidation of Unsaturated Fatty Acids
Abstract : Epoxy fatty acids are useful molecules and find a number of applications e.g. as PVC plasticisers and stabilisers, additives in polyurethane production, reactive diluents in paints, corrosion protection agents, etc. READ MORE

2. High Valent Metal Oxo Complexes as Oxidation Catalysts
Abstract : A series of new dioxomolybdenum(VI) and -tungsten(VI) complexes of tripodal tetradentate and tridentate amino bis- and monophenolate ligands have been synthesized and characterized. The majority of the complexes are mononuclear, but dimeric and trimeric oxo-bridged M(VI) (M = Mo, W) were also obtained. READ MORE

3. Biomimetic Reactions : Water Oxidation and Aerobic Oxidation
Abstract : This thesis deals mainly with two oxidation reactions: water oxidation and aerobic oxidation, both of which have been applied in a biomimetic fashion. In the former reaction molecular oxygen is generated whereas in the latter it was used as terminal oxidant in oxidation reactions. READ MORE

4. Symmetry in Asymmetric Catalysis and Hydrogen Bond-Based Self-Assembly : Synthesis and Investigations
Abstract : The thesis elaborates on four different projects focusing on synthesizing symmetry-related molecules and investigating their performance as catalysts for asymmetric catalysis or as monomers for hydrogen bond-based self-assembly.Chapter 2 describes a new method to desymmetrize a meso-ligand.
