  2. 1. Computational Studies on Homogeneous Water Oxidation Catalysts

    Author : Ge Li; Mårten S. G. Ahlquist; Moyses Araujo; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computational studies; homogeneous; water oxidation catalysts; ruthenium; iron; mechanisms; Teoretisk kemi och biologi; Theoretical Chemistry and Biology;

    Abstract : To combat the increasing energy demand and climate change, artificial photosynthesis is a promising approach to producing renewables by storing energy into chemicals and fuels. Water oxidation, responsible for offering electrons and protons to the reduction reactions, suffers from slow kinetics. READ MORE

  4. 2. Homogeneous and heterogeneous Cp*Ir(III) catalytic systems : Mechanistic studies of redox processes catalyzed by bifunctional iridium complexes, and synthesis of iridium-functionalized MOFs

    Author : Greco González Miera; Belén Martín-Matute; Matt Clarke; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; catalysis; bifunctional; metal-ligand cooperation; amine alkylation; Hammett; kinetics; acceptorless alcohol dehydrogenation; MOF; transition metal; synchrotron; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

    Abstract : The purpose of this doctoral thesis is to investigate and develop catalytic processes mediated by iridium(III) complexes. By understanding the mechanisms, the weaknesses of the designed catalysts can be identified and be overcome in the following generation. READ MORE

  6. 4. Development of catalytic enantioselective C-C bond-forming and cascade transformations by merging homogeneous or heterogeneous transition metal catalysis with asymmetric aminocatalysis

    Author : Samson Afewerki; Armando Córdova; MICHELANGELO GRUTTADAURIA; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; asymmetric catalysis; transition metals; aldehydes; heterogeneous catalysis; amino acid; organocatalysis; α-allylation; β-alkylation; dynamic transformations; polysubstituted; carbocycles; spirocyclic oxindoles; all-carbon quaternary stereocenters;

    Abstract : Chiral molecules play a central role in our daily life and in nature, for instance the different enantiomers or diastereomers of a chiral molecule may show completely different biological activity. For this reason, it is a vital goal for synthetic chemists to design selective and efficient methodologies that allow the synthesis of the desired enantiomer. READ MORE
