1. Photosynthetic water oxidation : the function of two extrinsic proteins
Sammanfattning : The solar energy accumulated by photosynthesis over billions of years is the sole source of energy available on Earth. Photosystem II (PSII) uses the sunlight to split water, an energetically unfavorable reaction where electrons and protons are extracted from water and oxygen is released as a by-product. LÄS MER
2. Development and Applications of Hypervalent Iodine Compounds : Powerful Arylation and Oxidation Reagents
Sammanfattning : The first part of this thesis describes the efficient synthesis of several hypervalent iodine(III) compounds. Electron-rich diaryliodonium salts have been synthesized in a one-pot procedure, employing mCPBA as the oxidant. Both symmetric and unsymmetric diaryliodonium tosylates can be isolated in high yields. LÄS MER
3. Performance of High-temperature Coatings : Oxidation and Interdiffusion
Sammanfattning : The use of aluminiferous coatings profoundly improves the service life of superalloys but leads to the microstructural degradation of superalloys and thus the loss of mechanical properties. To solve this trade-off, two strategies were employed in this research. LÄS MER
4. Life strategies for substrate assimilation by freshwater bacterioplankton
Sammanfattning : The availability of substrates is one of the most important environmental constraints on the diversity and functioning of microorganisms. Substrate quantity and quality as well as the metabolic features of heterotrophic microorganisms determine the efficiency, speed and type of transformation that can occur in nature. LÄS MER
5. Structural, Electronic and Reactive Properties of Pentapyridyl - Base Metal Complexes : Relevance for Water Oxidation Catalysis
Sammanfattning : The rationalization of chemical-physical proprieties of transition metal complexes is fundamental in order to understand and tune their reactivity. In this thesis, a systematic investigation of the geometrical and electronic properties of [M(Py5OH)Cl]+ complexes (M= Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) has been performed, and their ability to act as molecular water oxidation catalysts has been probed.
