2. 1. Breaking the symmetry: creation and transfer of optical activity via total spontaneous resolution and stereoselective reactions

   Author : Susanne Olsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; absolute asymmetric synthesis; enantioselective reactions; chirality; spontaneous resolution; conglomerate; organometallic chemistry; coordination compounds; attritionenhanced deracemisation; polymorphism; organolithium compounds; single-crystal X-ray crystallography;

   Abstract : The generation of optical activity from achiral or racemic precursors – absolute asymmetric synthesis – is discussed in relation to the origin of biomolecular homochirality but is also often (incorrectly) regarded as being impossible. One approach to absolute asymmetric synthesis is the use of compounds that form chiral crystals. READ MORE

4. 2. Plasmonics with a Twist

   Author : Robin Ogier; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; plasmonic nanostructures; colloidal lithography; particle spinning; optical tweezers; nanofabrication; nanoparticles; chirality;

   Abstract : This thesis focuses on the exploration of interactions between circularly polarized light and plasmonic nanostructures, and nanoparticles. Polarization is an integral part of light and has a wealth of applications in the modern world. READ MORE

5. 3. Transition Metal-Mediated Selective Functionalizations of Bio-Derived Building Blocks

   Author : Petter Dunås; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; phenols; Heck reaction; microbial arene oxidation; green chemistry; domino reactions; chirality transfer; palladium; metal carbonyl; azulenes; renewable resources; iron;

   Abstract : In order to transition to a more sustainable chemical industry, it is necessary to replace the fossil starting materials that are largely used today with renewable ones. Starting materials available from abundant natural sources, or which can be efficiently produced via a biotransformation, are of high interest in this regard. READ MORE

6. 4. Tailored Properties of Ferromagnetic Thin Films

   Author : Peter Warnicke; Peter Svedlindh; Peter Grünberg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; micromagnetics; domain wall; vortex; pinning potential; nanowire; spin dynamics; spin transfer torque; magnetic anisotropy; MFM; Permalloy; PMA; magnetic multilayer; Curie temperature; DMS; GaMnAs; magnetic bioseparation; Engineering physics; Teknisk fysik;

   Abstract : Magnetic thin films and patterned nanostructures have been studied with respect to their magnetic properties using SQUID-magnetometry, magnetic force microscopy, electrical measurements, and micromagnetic calculations. Properties of vortex domain walls, trapped in Permalloy nanowires with artificial constrictions, were investigated experimentally and by numerical calculations. READ MORE

7. 5. Synthesis and Applications of P-Chirogenic and Axially Chiral P,N-Phosphines as Ligands and Organocatalyst

   Author : Kristian Andersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; phosphoramidite; organocatalysis; aminophosphine; Nicholas reaction; asymmetric synthesis; phosphine; asymmetric hydrogenation; modular synthesis; P-chirogenic;

   Abstract : This thesis deals with the enantioselective synthesis of chiral mixed phosphorous/nitrogen compounds and some of their applications in asymmetric synthesis. For the most part, the compounds are P-chirogenic, with the chirality centered on the phosphorous atom. The last part of the thesis deals with axially chiral phosphoramidites. READ MORE
