  2. 16. Direct conversion of methane-to-methanol: transition-metal dimer sites in small-pore zeolites: First-principles calculations and microkinetic modeling

    Author : Unni Engedahl; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; partial methane oxidation; microkinetic modeling; SSZ-13; CHA; alloy; transition metals; zeolites; density functional theory;

    Abstract : Direct conversion of methane to methanol is a highly desired reaction. Partially oxidizing methane into a liquid fuel at ambient temperature and pressure would enable utilization of natural gas and biogas to a much larger extent than what is possible today. READ MORE

  4. 17. Transition metal oxide surfaces : Surface structures and molecular interaction

    Author : Markus Soldemo; Jonas Weissenrieder; Mats Göthelid; Sarp Kaya; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract : Metal oxides are both corrosion products and useful materials with a wide range of applications. Two of the most used metals today are iron and copper. In this thesis, surface structures and molecular interaction with surfaces of iron oxides and copper oxides are studied using spectroscopy and microscopy methods. READ MORE

  5. 18. 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

  6. 19. MECHANISTIC INVESTIGATIONS OF TRANSITION METAL CATALYZED REACTIONS

    Author : Jonatan Kleimark; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; alkene insertion; allylic alkylation; catalysis; cross coupling; density funtional theory; free energy surface; iron; kinetic investigation; Mizoroki-Heck reaction; nickel; palladium; reaction mechanism; sulfinylation; transition metal;

    Abstract : Transition metal catalyzed reactions have had a large impact on the human progress for the last century. Several extremely important areas, such as the agricultural industry and the plastic industry, have benefited from this development. READ MORE

  7. 20. Glass Transition Dynamics in Soft Condensed Matter

    Author : Johan Mattsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; polymer films; beta relaxation; hydrogen bond; glass transition; polymer dynamics; cooperativity; confinement; IXS; Brillouin light scattering; excess wing;

    Abstract : Materials of very different character, ranging from polymers to metals can be made into glasses. The structural and dynamical properties of glass-forming materials are fundamentally different from those found in crystals. Hence, glassy materials exhibit unique characteristics, which make them suitable for a wide range of applications. READ MORE
