    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; density functinal theory; computational chemistry; directed evolution; enzyme; mechanistic studies; catalysis; ruthenium; hydrogen transfer; racemization; artificial photosynthesis; frustrated lewis pairs; hydrogen storage; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is focused on describing and predicting catalytic reactions. The major part of the work is based on density functional theory (DFT). In some cases where the size of the investigated system precluded the use of more accurate methods molecular dynamics was employed. LÄS MER

  4. 43. Mimicking the Outer Coordination Sphere in [FeFe]-Hydrogenase Active Site Models : From Extended Ligand Design to Metal-Organic Frameworks

    Författare :Sonja Pullen; Sascha Ott; Patrick L. Holland; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; [FeFe]-hydrogenases; outer coordination sphere; model complexes; biomimetic catalysis; artificial photosynthesis; metal-organic frameworks;

    Sammanfattning : Biomimetic catalysis is an important research field, as a better understanding of nature´s powerful toolbox for the conversion of molecules can lead to technological progress. [FeFe]-hydrogenases are very efficient catalysts for hydrogen production. These enzymes play a crucial role in the metabolism of green algae and certain cyanobacteria. LÄS MER

  5. 44. Stepping into Catalysis : Kinetic and Mechanistic Investigations of Photo- and Electrocatalytic Hydrogen Production with Natural and Synthetic Molecular Catalysts

    Författare :Daniel Streich; Leif Hammarström; Reiner Lomoth; Clifford Kubiak; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Artificial photosynthesis; photocatalysis; electrocatalysis; hydrogen production; proton reduction; hydrogenase; iron complex; active site model; catalytic mechanism; transient absorption; spectroscopy; electrochemistry; cyclic voltammetry; Kemi med inriktning mot kemisk fysik; Chemistry with specialization in Chemical Physics;

    Sammanfattning : In light of its rapidly growing energy demand, human society has an urgent need to become much more strongly reliant on renewable and sustainable energy carriers. Molecular hydrogen made from water with solar energy could provide an ideal case. LÄS MER

  7. 45. Probing Catalytic Reaction Mechanisms of Biomimetic Diiron Complexes through Time-resolved Absorption Spectroscopy

    Författare :Shihuai Wang; Leif Hammarström; Reiner Lomoth; Jillian Dempsey; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Artificial photosynthesis; Biomimetic catalysts; H2 formation; Catalytic intermediates;

    Sammanfattning : Directed design of improved molecular catalysts for hydrogen evolution reactions relies on rational benchmarking based on a detailed understanding about the mechanism of catalysis. Specifically, investigation of multi-electron redox catalysis, with structural characterization of catalytic intermediates, combined with the kinetics of their transformations, can reveal the rate-limiting step of the overall reaction, possible degradation pathways and the function of structural motives.
