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 ... -
Pyrrole-based Photosensitisers for Photomedicine. Synthesis, Photophysical and Photobiological Evaluation of Chlorins and Dipyrrin Complexes
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2022)Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a light activated therapy which involves a drug-photosensitiser (PS), light, and molecular oxygen. First, the PS is administered via a systemic or topical route and then it accumulates in the ... -
Quantum Control of Thermodynamic Processes in Semiconductors
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2022)In this thesis, we explore theoretically the thermodynamics of heat exchange in laser driven solid state systems. In particular, we focus on the heat exchanged between phonons and a semiconductor quantum dot exciton, driven ... -
