  2. 1. Synthesis of Covalently Linked Diporphyrins: Model Compounds for Intramolecular Energy and Electron Transfer

    Author : Johan Kajanus; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; donor-bridge-acceptor systems; Sonogashira reaction; electron transfer; porphyrin; palladium; model compound; energy transfer;

    Abstract : Three series of donor-bridge-acceptor compounds have been synthesized to probe the influence of various bridge chromophores on energy and electron transfer. The donor-bridge-acceptor compounds in each series comprise two different porphyrins, acting as donor and acceptor, covalently linked by bridge chromophores. READ MORE

  4. 2. Influence of Bridge Structures on the Electron Transfer in Donor-Acceptor Systems

    Author : Mikael Winters; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; molecular wire; electron transfer; porphyrin; conjugated oligomer;

    Abstract : In this Thesis, porphyrin-based donor-acceptor systems have been used to study photoinduced electron transfer processes. Principally, two different sets of systems have been investigated. READ MORE

  5. 3. 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.

  6. 4. Triplet Excitation Energy Transfer in Donor-Bridge-Acceptor Systems: Experimental and Theoretical Investigations

    Author : Mattias P Eng; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; self-assembled monolayer; density functional theory; triplet excitation energy transfer; gold porphyrin; electron transfer; spectroscopy; superexchange; electronic coupling;

    Abstract : This thesis is a contribution to the understanding of bridge mediation of electron exchange processes in Donor-Bridge-Acceptor (D-B-A) systems. The field of research is relevant for the development and optimization of dye-sensitized solar cells, artificial photosynthesis, and the possible future development of molecular electronic devices.
