Methods for C-C and C-N bond formation using earth-abundant metals
(University of St Andrews, 2020-07-29) - ThesisThe formation of C–C and C–N bonds via transition metal catalysis is important in both academia and industry. Traditionally, both these fields have been dominated by the use of precious metal catalysts, with two of the ... -
Synthesis, properties and applications of all-cis-pentafluorocyclohexane 'Janus' ring building blocks
(University of St Andrews, 2022-06-15) - ThesisStrategically fluorinated compounds such as the all-cis-pentafluorocyclohexane ‘Janus’ rings, the subject of this research, can have strong molecular dipole moments because the electronegative fluorines polarise the geminal ... -
Chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed asymmetric protonation reactions of vinylheteroaryls
(University of St Andrews, 2022-06-15) - ThesisThis thesis describes investigations into the chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed aza-Michael addition-asymmetric protonation between arylamines and various α-substituted vinylheterocycles. Initially, research focused on ... -
MOF-based membranes for challenging gas separations
(2024-06-13) - ThesisMetal-organic framework materials (MOFs) have been extensively studied as adsorbents for carbon capture applications over past decades. However, when it comes to MOF-based membranes for CO₂ separation, factors that determine ...
