  4. 2. Studies of Biomimtic Oxidations and Racemizations

    Author : Gábor Csjernyik; Jan-Erling Bäckvall; Serafino Gladiali; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; oxidation of alcohols; ruthenium; porphyrin; racemization;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with studies of ruthenium-catalyzed hydrogen transfer reactions for oxidations and racemization.Through optimisation of the substrate-selective redox catalyst, the electron and proton transfer mediator (a benzoquinone derivative), and the oxygen-activating metal macrocycle a highly efficient biomimetic oxidation of secondary alcohols was obtained.

  5. 3. Theoretical Studies of Cytochrome P450

    Author : Patrik Rydberg; Beräkningskemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; quantum chemistry; Proteins; enzymology; Proteiner; enzymologi; Theoretical chemistry; transition-state force field; peroxidase; theoretical chemistry; molecular dynamics; density functional theory; cytochrome P450; porphyrin; haem; heme; kvantkemi; Teoretisk kemi;

    Abstract : The cytochromes P450 are a large enzyme family that is found in all living organisms and takes part in both endogenous and exogenous metabolism. They are primarily mono-oxygenases and perform a wide range of reactions. READ MORE

  6. 4. Heterogenization of a Cobalt Porphyrin Catalyst Investigated by Scanning Probe Microscopy and X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy: The Effect on Catalysis of Oxidation Reactions

    Author : Greger Ledung; Sven Oscarsson; Claire-Marie Pradier; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Other chemical engineering; Övrig kemiteknik; Bioteknik kemiteknik;

    Abstract : Construction of advanced materials through self-assembly on the molecular level is an important route to achieve novel functionality. Self-assembly of thiols onto gold has during the last decades shown greate promise in the creation of functional nanomaterials, such as sensors or catalysts, but for many applications silicon should be a better substrate since it offers semiconducting properties and better processing abilities in addition to being cheaper.

  7. 5. Development and Applications of Surface-Confined Transition Metal Complexes : Heterogeneous Catalysis and Anisotropic Particle Surfaces

    Author : Kristofer Eriksson; Jan-Erling Bäckvall; Graham Hutchings; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; heterogeneous catalysis; anisotropic particles; protein gradients; nanoparticles; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

    Abstract : The main focus of this thesis has been directed towards developing novel surface-confined transition metal complexes for applications in heterogeneous catalysis and for the preparation of anisotropic particle surfaces. The first part describes the heterogenization of a homogeneous transition metal-based catalyst tetraphenyl cobalt porphyrin (CoTPP) on silicon wafers and on silica particles. READ MORE
