Chiral iridium(III) and ruthenium(II) complexes as phosphorescent scaffolds for heterometallic supramolecular self-assembly
(University of St Andrews, 2018-06-27) - ThesisThis thesis explores the design, synthesis and optoelectronic properties of supramolecular photoactive materials based on chiral iridium(III) and ruthenium(II) metalloligands. Our design strategies aim to create a high ... -
Nonequilibrium ferroelectric-ferroelastic 10-nm nanodomains : wrinkles, period-doubling, and power-law relaxation
(2017-08-02) - Journal articleSince the 1935 work of Landau and Lifshitz and of Kittel in 1946 all ferromagnetic, ferroelectric, and ferroelastic domains have been thought to be straight-sided with domain widths proportional to the square root of the ... -
Proton-coupled electron transfer enhances the electrocatalytic reduction of nitrite to NO in a bioinspired copper complex
(2018-06-01) - Journal articleThe selective and efficient electrocatalytic reduction of nitrite to nitric oxide (NO) is of tremendous importance, both for the development of NO-release systems for biomedical applications and for the removal of nitrogen ... -
Metal-organic framework-derived hybrid carbon nanocages as bifunctional electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction and evolution
(2017-08-18) - Journal articleOxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is cornerstone reactions of many renewable energy technologies. Developing cheap yet durable substitutes of precious metal catalysts, especially the ... -
Design and study of novel gold complexes for efficient catalytic process towards the activation of alkynes
(University of St Andrews, 2018-06-27) - ThesisGold has emerged as valuable tool for chemists. The physico-chemical properties of the metal centre make it exceptionally prone to activate multiple bonds, such as alkynes and alkenes. Thus, its utility in catalysis has ...
