2. 1. Artificial Water Splitting: Ruthenium Complexes for Water Oxidation

   Author : Lele Duan; Licheng Sun; Matthias Beller; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; water oxidation; ruthenium; electrochemistry; DFT calculation; photoelectrochemistry; negatively charged ligand; catalyst;

   Abstract : This thesis concerns the development and study of Ru-based water oxidation catalysts (WOCs) which are the essential components for solar energy conversion to fuels. The first chapter gives a general introduction about the field of homogenous water oxidation catalysis, including the catalytic mechanisms and the catalytic activities of some selected WOCs as well as the concerns of catalyst design.

4. 2. Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation of Aromatic Ketones : Catalyst Development and Mechanistic Studies

   Author : Sofia Nordin; Torbjörn Frejd; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Organic chemistry; transfer hydrogenation; aza-norbornyl structure; amino acid derivatives; amino alcohols; ruthenium; concerted mechanism; asymmetric catalysis.; Organisk kemi; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

   Abstract : This thesis describes the development and evaluation of new chiral Ru(arene)(amino alcohol) catalysts for the transfer hydrogenation of aromatic ketones using isopropanol as the hydrogen source. Two mechanistic studies of the Ru(arene)(amino alcohol) catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone were also conducted. The Ru(arene)[(1S,3R,4R)-3. READ MORE

5. 3. Ruthenium-Catalyzed Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation

   Author : Tove Slagbrand; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; allylic alcohols; asymmetric catalysis; isomerization; reduction; ruthenium;

   Abstract : This thesis covers the development of two new methods for the asymmetric reduction of ketones and ketone intermediates. The protocols developed are based on the use of a ruthenium pseudo-dipeptide catalyst that previously has been shown to be efficient and selective in the asymmetric reduction of carbonyl compounds.

6. 4. Mononuclear Ruthenium Complexes that Catalyze Water to Dioxgen Oxidation

   Author : Lianpeng Tong; Licheng Sun; Randolph Thummel; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Ruthenium complex; Homogeneous catalysis; Water oxidation; O2 evolution; anionic ligand; Molecular catalyst; Electrocatalysis; Kinetics; Artificial photosynthesis; Light-driven; Immobilization of catalyst;

   Abstract : The theme of this thesis is the development of mononuclear Ru-based complexes that are capable of catalyzing the water oxidation (or O2-evolving) reaction, e.g. 2 H2O → O2 + 4 H+ + 4 e−. Several families of mononuclear Ru water oxidation catalysts were designed and prepared. READ MORE

7. 5. Development of Ruthenium Catalysts for Water Oxidation

   Author : Tanja M. Laine; Björn Åkermark; Antoni Llobet; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; homogeneous catalysis; O-O bond formation; photocatalysis; ruthenium; water oxidation; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

   Abstract : An increasing global energy demand requires alternative fuel sources. A promising method is artificial photosynthesis. Although, the artificial processes are different from the natural photosynthetic process, the basic principles are the same, i.e. READ MORE
