    • Acylative kinetic resolution of biaryl alcohols using isothiourea catalysis 

      Qu, Shen (University of St Andrews, 2018-06-27) - Thesis
      This project aims to develop the first isothiourea-catalyzed acylative kinetic resolution (KR) of biaryl diols. To place this work in context, a brief introduction to chirality and its importance, an overview of methods ...
    • Magnetic ordering in systems of reduced dimensionality 

      Purdie, Stuart (University of St Andrews, 2005) - Thesis
      The magnetic behaviour of thin films of (111) FCC structures and (0001) corundum structured materials were studied by the mean field analysis and some Monte Carlo simulation. These models were conditioned on a mapping from ...
    • Structural studies of Aurivillius phase ferroelectrics and related materials 

      Hervoches, Charles H. (University of St Andrews, 2002) - Thesis
      The research carried out for this thesis has concentrated on Aurivillius bismuth oxide materials and the closely related Sillen and Bipox bismuth oxyhalides. X-ray and neutron powder diffraction techniques have been used ...
    • Structural studies of layered cuprates and bismuthates 

      Milne, Christopher Jon (University of St Andrews, 2002) - Thesis
      Studies have been undertaken trying to produce new high Tc, superconducting cuprates. As a mechanism for superconductivity in these materials is sought, it is important to produce new materials with new structural features. ...
