Tailored glycosylated anode surfaces: Addressing the exoelectrogen bacterial community via functional layers for microbial fuel cell applications
(2020)Grafting of aryldiazonium cations bearing a p-mannoside functionality over microbial fuel cell (MFC) anode materials was performed to investigate the ability of aryl-glycoside layers to regulate colonisation by biocatalytic ... -
Tailored nitrogen-containing polyaromatics - from surfaces to stacks
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Chemistry, 2016)Chapter 1: This chapter gives a broad introduction to the subjects of graphene and nanographenes, which are discussed in subsequent chapters. Common methodologies for the synthesis of substituted polyphenylenes and ... -
Tailoring Porphyrin (Nano)structures.
(2014)Porphyrins present one of the most ubiquitous classes of compounds in chemistry, optics, medicine, and materials science. This is a result of their multifaceted roles in nature and the wide range of tunable molecular ... -
Tandem ionic liquid antimicrobial toxicity and asymmetric catalysis study: carbonyl-ene reactions with trifluoropyruvate
(2013)Imidazolium Brønsted acidic catalysts substituted with ester/amides have been assessed for both antimicrobial toxicity and biodegradation. Low toxicity to a screen of 20 microbial strains (12 fungi and 8 bacteria) was ... -
Targeted Synthesis of Regioisomerically Pure Dodecasubstituted Type i Porphyrins through the Exploitation of Peri-interactions
(2020)A targeted synthesis of dodecasubstituted type I porphyrins that utilizes the reaction of unsymmetrical 3,4-difunctionalized pyrroles and sterically demanding aldehydes was developed. This way, type I porphyrins could be ... -
Targeting DNA : synthesis, biophysical and biochemical studies of new aminoalkyl derivatives of diphenyl guanidines and acridine
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Chemistry, 2012)Research on the design and synthesis of DNA targeting molecules is widespread. There are a number of diseases which are treated using DNA-targeting agents. DNA ligands have been shown to exhibit anticancer, antiprotozoal, ... -
Targeting receptor tyrosine kinase VEGFR-2 in hepatocellular cancer: Rational design, synthesis and biological evaluation of 1,2-disubstituted benzimidazoles
(2020)In this study, a novel series of 1,2-disubstituted benzo[d]imidazoles was rationally designed as VEGFR-2 inhibitors targeting hepatocellular carcinoma. Our design strategy is two-fold; it aimed first at studying the effect ... -
Teaching old dogs new tricks : transition metal-catalysed reactions for generation of rigid cubane and designer porphyrin scaffolds
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Chemistry, 2015)The aim of this work was to use Pd-catalysis in the pursuit of novel, synthetically interesting, structural scaffolds based around either the rigid cubane framework or the optically active porphyrinoid core. In both cases, ... -
Temperature Dependent Electrochemistry - a Versatile Tool for Investigations of Biology Related Topics
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2009)Temperature dependent electrochemistry can be efficiently used to determine very different properties of the investigated system, such as thermodynamic parameters of redox processes (especially the entropy), the degeneration ... -
Temperature-Responsive 4D Liquid Crystal Microactuators Fabricated by Direct Laser Writing by Two-Photon Polymerization
(2021)Over the past decade, progress in direct laser writing by two-photon polymerization (DLW-TPP) of stimuli-responsive materials has made considerable inroads into the realization of microactuators. With the focus on performing ... -
Template-free and surfactant free solvothermal synthesis of mesoporous manganese oxide with enhanced activity in the oxygen evolution reaction
(2017)Porous manganese carbonate was obtained via solvothermal synthesis using ethanol and urea. The manganese carbonate was subsequently used as a precursor to synthesise mesoporous manganese oxides via thermal treatments at ... -
Template-free ultraspray pyrolysis synthesis of N/Fe-doped carbon microspheres for oxygen reduction electrocatalysis
(2015)Ultrasonic spray pyrolysis was used in a continuous flow apparatus for the template-free synthesis of iron- and nitrogen-doped porous carbon materials. Solutions of glucose, histidine and Fe(CH3COO)2 were nebulized and ... -
