1. Development of Novel Hydroporphyrins for Light Harvesting and Sensitising NIR Lanthanide Luminescence
Sammanfattning : Chlorins, as the core structures of chlorophylls, have been extensively studied for harvesting solar energy, fluorescent imaging and photodynamic therapy against cancer. This thesis is concerned with design and synthesis of novel chlorins as antennae for harvesting light and sensitising near infrared lanthanide luminescence. LÄS MER
2. Magnesium Chelatase - a Key Enzyme in Chlorophyll Biosynthesis
Sammanfattning : The biosynthesis of chlorophylls is an important process in nature. The green pigments play a fundamental role in absorbing and transferring solar energy to the photosynthetic apparatus. LÄS MER
3. A multivariate approach to the analysis of phytoplankton pigments
Sammanfattning : Photosynthetic pigments are routinely determined in investigations of marine and freshwater environments, chlorophyll is used as an estimator of phytoplankton biomass. Photosynthetic pigments are also widely used to characterise phytoplankton taxonomic composition. LÄS MER
4. Enrichment of biogenic and anthropogenic organic substances on sea spray aerosols
Sammanfattning : The world’s oceans are the source of one of the most abundant types of natural aerosols, namely sea spray aerosols (SSA). By scattering solar radiation, SSA play a significant role in controlling the Earth’s radiation budget, while they are also involved in the formation of clouds, acting as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN).

5. Determination of mercury chemical speciation in the presence of low molecular mass thiols and its importance for mercury methylation
Sammanfattning : Methylmercury (MeHg) is a neurotoxic compound that threatens the well-being of humans and wildlife. It is formed through the methylation of inorganic mercury (HgII) under suboxic/anoxic conditions in soils, sediment and waters. LÄS MER
