Nowadays, the search for new drugs against cancer is one of the major goals to improve the quality of life of patients. The development of more selective treatments against cancer cells may lead to a significant reduction ...
Afonso Afonso, Ana (Date of defense: 2011-07-22)
En aquesta tesi doctoral es va estudiar la preparació de pèptids biarílics en fase sòlida. En primer lloc, es varen borilar residus de fenilalanina o tirosina presents a la seqüència peptídica a través d’una reacció de ...
Majumder, Santanu (Date of defense: 2013-10-30)
Apart from the geological controls that can cause As mobilization in groundwater in the Bengal Delta Plain, local anthropogenic factors may also contribute to some extent. Investigations showed that As(III) get enriched ...
Masllorens i Llinàs, Ester (Date of defense: 2006-03-10)
Aquesta tesi doctoral es basa en l'estudi de l'aplicació en catàlisi de dos tipus de complexos organometallics basats en dos metalls de tansició diferents. Concretament s'estudien complexos macrocíclics triolefínics de ...
Clarasó Petit, Carlota (Date of defense: 2019-02-08)
Metalloenzymes are a fundamental source of inspiration for synthetic chemists. Oxidation metalloenzymes catalyze oxidation reactions with high efficiency under very mild experimental conditions exhibiting exquisite regio- ...
Garcia López, Lídia (Date of defense: 2012-02-24)
The development of new chemical processes and efficient catalysts for the formation of carbon-carbon bonds is an important topic in organic chemistry. In particular, the [2+2+2] cycloaddition reaction involving different ...
Rovira Coll, Mireia (Date of defense: 2017-03-10)
Organometallic aryl-CuIII species have been proposed as key intermediates in Ullmann-type reactions. However, such species have long remained elusive and mechanistic investigations of a plausible catalytic cycle remained ...
Martínez López, Juan Pablo (Date of defense: 2016-11-18)
The physical and chemical properties of fullerenes and nanotubes can be conveniently tuned by the attachment of different functional groups to them. Therefore, the systematic understanding of different problems such as ...
Casitas Montero, Alícia (Date of defense: 2012-06-01)
This thesis is focused on the unexplored field of organometallic copper(III) chemistry. Arylcopper(III) complexes have been proposed as key intermediates in Ullmann condensation reactions that consist in the coupling of ...
Rodríguez Mayorga, Mauricio (Date of defense: 2018-07-24)
In this thesis, we focused on the alternative methodologies that are based on the reconstruction of density matrices. While in DFT several benchmarks can be found in the literature, for the rest of alternative methodologies ...
Jaén Gil, Adrián (Date of defense: 2021-05-28)
The low efficiency of wastewater treatment plants to achieve the complete removal of micropollutants, including pharmaceuticals, has motivated the development of alternative water technologies to improve their efficiency, ...
Dachs Soler, Anna (Date of defense: 2011-07-29)
The [2+2+2] cycloaddition reaction involves the formation of three carbon-carbon bonds in one single step using alkynes, alkenes, nitriles, carbonyls and other unsaturated reagents as reactants. This is one of the most ...
Cassú Ponsatí, Daniel (Date of defense: 2018-04-20)
Transition metal-catalysed [2+2+2] cycloaddition reactions involving unsaturated substrates represent one of the most elegant methods in organic chemistry to prepare functionalised cyclic compound. This doctoral thesis is ...
Vila Vadrí, Jordi (Date of defense: 2023-04-21)
The development of novel catalytic methodologies involving the formation of carbon – carbon/heteroatom bonds to produce cyclic systems constitutes a field of great interest in the modern synthetic organic chemistry. Over ...
Floor, Geerke Henriette (Date of defense: 2011-03-29)
Selenium (Se) is an element with important health implications that is emitted in significant amounts from volcanoes. Attracted by the fertility of volcanic soils, around 10% of the world population lives within 100 km of ...
Cases Amat, Montserrat (Date of defense: 2003-09-30)
Des del seu descobriment, a la molècula C60 se li coneixen una varietat de derivats segons el tipus de funcionalització amb propietats fisicoquímiques específiques de gran interès científic. Una sel·lecció de derivats ...
Planas i Grabuleda, Marta (Date of defense: 1996-03-15)
Spiro-γ-lactones are widely distributed among natural products, several of them being well known by their interesting biological activities. We describe herein the synthesis of 1-oxaspiro[4.4]nonan derivatives and ...
Cerezo Frias, Vanessa (Date of defense: 2009-05-28)
Els aminoàcids biarílics es troben en una àmplia varietat de pèptids naturals amb important activitat biològica. Concretament, les arilhistidines formen part de les aciculitines, pèptids amb activitat citotòxica i antifúngica, ...
Oliveras Rovira, Àngel (Date of defense: 2020-10-27)
Nowadays, around a third of the agricultural production is lost due to the damage caused by pests, resulting in a significant economic impact. It is estimated that about a third of these losses are provoked by phytopathogens. ...
Rodríguez Pizarro, Montserrat (Date of defense: 2000-06-20)
This doctoral dissertation is divided in two different parts. The first one deals with copper complexes and their magnetic properties. The second one describes the synthesis and characterization of a new family of ruthenium ...
