Assembly, disassembly and reassembly: New synthetic approaches towards hybrid, mixed-metal and framework materials
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2018)The research presented in this thesis focuses on the synthesis of novel examples of advanced materials. The project aimed to synthesise new examples of three particular classes of materials; namely organic-inorganic hybrid ... -
Generation and Reactivity of Late Transition Metal Hydr(oxo) Complexes Supported by Tripodal Carboxamidate Ligand
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2022)Metal oxo complexes (M=O) are important mediators of oxidative transformations in biological systems.1 Their high reactivity and transient nature have limited their study, with only a handful of well characterized oxo ... -
High-valent dinuclear bis-μ-hydroxo complexes for PCET reactivity
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2021)High valent dinuclear bis-μ-hydroxo transition metals complexes are hypothesised to play a potentially crucial role in several enzymatic mechanism involving their high-valent dinuclear bis-μ-oxo counterparts such as soluble ... -
High-valent nickel complexes supported by pyridinedicarboxamidate ligands in hydrocarbon oxidation reactions
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2017)High-valent M=O and M-O-X complexes are hypothesised to be potent oxidising intermediates both in enzymatic and small-molecule catalysis. In contrast to those from groups 6-8, oxidants that contain late transition metals ... -
In-situ and Operando (Scanning) Transmission Electron Microscopy (S)TEM; a real-time investigation of energy storage devices and materials at the atomic level
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2021)In the modern age of ubiquitous mobile technology, demand for ever increasing battery capacity and size reduction in such devices is a key driving factor for this sector. Technology is currently striving to improve the ... -
An investigation of the electrical behaviours of metallic, semiconducting and core-shell nanowires
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2018)From a device point of view, metallic nanowire networks provide a route to highly transparent, highly conductive, flexible, easy-to-fabricate and low-cost materials. The large-scale integration of these materials in ... -
Metallo-Supramolecular and Bioinspiried Coordination Compounds for H2O Oxidation
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2020)Ever-increasing energy demands and associated climate change issues impose imperative scientific challenges to society. Switching to an economy based on the carbon-free, high density energy carrier H2 represents a promising ... -
Post-Synthetic Treatment of Layered Nanomaterials for Optimized Performance in Energy Transfer & Storage Devices
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2021)Controlled syntheses of PbO and NiFe LDH layered nanomaterials were carried out for this work, followed by comprehensive studies to determine the extent to which improvements can be made, in terms of performance in their ... -
Structural Diversity in Metal-Organic Frameworks and Metal-Organic Polyhedra with 1,3,5-Triethynyl-Benzene Based Linkers
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2023)The study of metal-organic frameworks and metal-organic polyhedra is a rapidly evolving area of research. The research presented in this thesis serves to further our understanding of these advanced materials with the primary ... -
Synthetic Approaches to Light-Harvesting Materials Containing Earth-Abundant Metals
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2020)In this thesis, entitled Synthetic Approaches to Light-Harvesting Materials Containing Earth-Abundant Metals, a crystal engineering approach is taken to investigate two kinds of materials, namely coordination polymers based ... -
