Enantioselective organocatalytic cycloaddition reactions between enolisable anhydrides and imines
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2019)Cycloaddition reactions between enolisable anhydrides and imines have long been known as excellent tools for the synthesis of natural products. The racemic version is well known to be capable of providing products with ... -
The Synthesis and Characterisation of Fused Aromatic Hydrocarbons and Their Material and Ligand Applications
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2019)This thesis details the synthesis of various extended, aromatic ligands and investigates their behaviour in a number of different applications. The work carried out represents a contribution to the understanding of the ... -
The Tamura Cycloaddition: Mechanism and Enantiocontrol
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2019)This thesis documents attempts to employ succinimide derivatives as ‘anhydride surrogates’ in the organocatalytic cycloaddition between aryl succinic anhydrides and various electrophiles previously developed in our research ... -
Transparent, Flexible Silicon Nanostructured Wire Networks with Seamless Junctions for High-Performance Photodetector Applications
(2018)Optically transparent photodetectors are crucial in next-generation optoelectronic applications including smart windows and transparent image sensors. Designing photodetectors with high transparency, photoresponsivity, and ... -
Material characterisation of nanowires with intrinsic stress
(2017)When fabricating nanowires in a doubly-clamped beam configuration it is possible for a residual axial stress to be generated. Here, we show that material characterisation of metal and semiconductor nanowires subjected ...
