Computational Modelling and Design of Cathode Materials for Sustainable Energy Applications
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2022)Unravelling the activity and selectivity of novel heterogeneous catalysts requires a deep understanding of the effects unfolding at the catalytic surface. Particularly, this thesis emphasises the relevance of dopant ... -
Design and development of novel self-assembled luminescent lanthanide complexes in solution and in soft materials
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of ChemistrySchool of Chemistry, 2017)This thesis describes the design, synthesis and characterisation of naphthyl-dipicolylamide (naphthyl-dpa) ligands for sensitisation of lanthanide, Ln(III), emission. Chapter 1 provides an introduction to the fundamental ... -
Designer Nonplanar Porphyrins with Tuned Properties for Application as Bifunctional Organocatalyst
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2020)The aim of this research was to investigate the use of different free base nonplanar porphyrins as bifunctional catalysts. This involved the tailored design of various porphyrin catalysts and the subsequent testing of said ... -
The development of radical methodologies for the syntehsis of thiolactones and carbon-sulfer bond formation
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2020)This thesis entitled "The Development of Radical Methodologies for the Synthesis of Thiolactones and Carbon-Sulfur Bond Formation" is divided into 7 chapters in which Chapter 1, the introduction, presents an overview of ... -
Ureasil Architectures for Organic-Inorganic Photoactive Hybrid Materials
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2018)Ureasils are Class II organic-inorganic hybrids consisting of poly(oxyalkylene) chains covalently linked to a siliceous network via urea bridges. Ureasil monoliths are photoluminescent, waveguiding and photo- and thermally ...
