1. Thermal Isomerization of Azobenzene Side Chain Copolymers
Abstract : Irradiation of azobenzene induces isomerization between its trans- and cis forms. By introduction of azobenzene chromophores in polymers, it is possible to optically control a variety of polymer properties. The isomerization of azobenzene can be used to influence conformational, optical or surface properties of the poly mer material. READ MORE

2. Selective Transformations of Allylic Compounds and Enol Derivatives : Synthesis of Fluorinated and Nitrogenated Scaffolds
Abstract : In this thesis, new synthetic methods to give access to molecules having fluorinated scaffolds and other polar functional groups have been developed. The methods give access to highly valuable organic compounds that may serve as building blocks in the synthesis of functionalized drug candidates. READ MORE

3. Controlling the Fluorescence Properties of Diarylethene-based Photochromic Systems
Abstract : Diarylethene (DAE) photoswitches are one of the most promising families of photochromic molecules because of their outstanding photophysical/photochemical properties. This class of compounds, which can photoisomerize between an open colorless and a closed colored form, has been applied in various fields in this thesis work, spanning one-color fluorescence intensity modulation, all-photonic full-color reproduction, light-induced color changes for molecular logic gates and information processing.

4. Catalytic Methods to Convert Allylic Substrates through Hydride and Proton Shifts : Transition Metal-Catalyzed and Organocatalyzed Approaches
Abstract : The present thesis describes the development of new catalytic protocols to transform allylic substrates into a wide variety of versatile carbonyl and vinyl organic compounds. All procedures that are described in this work have in common the existence of one or more hydrogen shifts as key steps in the mechanism of the reactions. READ MORE

5. Quantum Chemical Studies of Radical Cation Rearrangement, Radical Carbonylation, and Homolytic Substitution Reactions
Abstract : Quantum chemical calculations have been performed to investigate radical cation rearrangement, radical carbonylation, and homolytic substitution reactions of organic molecules. The rearrangement of the bicyclopropylidiene radical cation to the tetramethyleneethane radical cation is predicted to proceed with stepwise disrotatory opening of the two rings. READ MORE
