The Design of Ruthenium and Iridium Triplet Photosensitisers
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2023)This thesis describes compounds designed to harness the energies of photon-induced transitions between electronic energy levels. Applications that involve such transitions include but are not limited to photodynamic therapy, ... -
High-Throughput Computational Investigation of Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Water Splitting Catalysts
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2023)Understanding the sources of activity and stability in oxygen evolution reaction catalysts remains an open challenge. This thesis attempts to understand these factors by studying many catalysts for both homogeneous OER to ... -
Development of novel porous materials via polymer self-assembly and phase separation
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2023)Polymer self-assembly is an ever-growing field that is attracting interest from a diverse range of research topics, which include the production of functional devices and membranes for electronic, optical and energy ... -
Synthesis and analysis of Nile Red functionalised Ru(II) and Ir(III) photosensitisers
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2023)Nile Red (9-(diethylamino)-5H-benzo[a]phenoxazin-5-one) is a common organic dye that exhibits strong absorption of visible light, and is highly fluorescent. Despite these properties, examples of transition metal complexes ... -
Design, synthesis, and biochemical evaluation of guanidine-based derivatives targeting protein kinases
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2022)Kinases are some of the most intensively pursued classes of drug targets with approximately 243 distinct kinase inhibitors making it to human trials and most of these compounds are being investigated for the treatment of ...
