  5. 3. Mimicking the Outer Coordination Sphere in [FeFe]-Hydrogenase Active Site Models : From Extended Ligand Design to Metal-Organic Frameworks

    Author : Sonja Pullen; Sascha Ott; Patrick L. Holland; Uppsala universitet; []

    Abstract : This thesis is about whether it is a good idea to place monetary value on nature, to remedy the fact that we treat it as having no particular value to us humans, although it clearly has. The thesis is based on five research papers that can be said to position themselves on opposite sides in the debate on monetisation of nature. READ MORE
