This thesis is organized in seven independent chapters: I) a description of the structure and reactivity of the metalloproteins of copper and iron which deal with the oxygen processing into living organisms; II) an study ...
López Lastra, Adrián (Date of defense: 2020-07-28)
Polymers are one of the most used compounds in the chemical industry because they have application in a wide variety of products for daily use. Polymer preparation and its analysis is a very active field of research in ...
Pujals Crusat, Míriam (Date of defense: 2024-06-14)
Since the discovery of fullerenes and endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs), these spheroidal carbon cages have attracted the attention of the scientific community due to their exceptional electronic and physicochemical ...
Gómez Martín, Laura (Date of defense: 2010-06-04)
La gran eficiència, selectivitat i les condicions suaus exhibides per les reaccions que tenen lloc al centre actiu de les metal·looxigenases són la font d'inspiració per la present dissertació. Amb l'objectiu de dissenyar ...
Magallón Gubau, Carla (Date of defense: 2022-05-16)
Nowadays, one of the main goals in organic chemistry and fine industry is the development of new synthetic methodologies for the preparation of life-relevant products in a sustainable manner. The use of first-row ...
Dantignana, Valeria (Date of defense: 2020-12-03)
Selective oxidation of C-H bonds is an important reaction, as it can disclose novel synthetic strategies to get functionalized products through efficient paths. Nonetheless, due to the inert character of C-H bonds, the use ...
Prat Casellas, Irene (Date of defense: 2013-06-14)
The functionalization of hydrocarbons in a sustainable manner is one of the main challenges for chemists. Their abundance in nature as natural gas or crude oil makes them the most convenient chemical feedstock. The oxidation ...
Guerrero Troyano, Isabel (Date of defense: 2022-03-13)
This thesis studies the behavior of different metallacarboranes such as Na[Co(C2B9H11)2] Na[1] and their chlorinated derivatives, Na[3,3’-Co(8-Cl-1,2-C2B9H10)2] Na[Cl2-1] i Na[3,3’-Co(8,9,12-Cl3-1,2-C2B9H8)2] Na[Cl6-1], ...
Cianfanelli, Marco (Date of defense: 2021-12-03)
In this thesis we developed a protocol for the intramolecular oxidation of prochiral secondary C-H bonds in which carboxylic acids, acting as directing groups for the oxidant species, promoted a highly site-selective and ...
Capdevila Güell, Lorena (Date of defense: 2022-07-22)
The development of new methodologies for the construction of complex molecules is one of the principal objectives in synthetic organic chemistry. Although huge advances have been made on cross-coupling reactions, there is ...
Planas Fàbrega, Oriol (Date of defense: 2018-02-23)
This Ph.D. dissertation describes the synthesis and characterization of bench-top stable aryl-Co(III) organometallic species using commercially available cobalt(II) salts and a macrocyclic model substrate. Special attention ...
Roldán Gómez, Steven (Date of defense: 2020-01-14)
During the last decades, computational chemistry has become a resourceful tool in the quest to understand and predict the mechanism and the reactivity of chemical systems. This is especially true in the area of ...
Ferrer Vall-llosada, Íngrid (Date of defense: 2015-07-16)
In this thesis we present the synthesis and characterization of different types of ruthenium complexes containing N-donor ligands together with dmso, Cl and H2O ligands, along with their complete characterization through ...
Manrique Salas, Ester (Date of defense: 2018-10-22)
In this thesis we present the synthesis and characterization of different types of ruthenium complexes containing N-donor ligands together with monodentate ligands, along with their complete characterization through s ...
Call Quintana, Arnau (Date of defense: 2016-12-13)
The increasing need for more efficient synthetic methods and sustainable processes for fuel and high-value organic molecules production can be seen as one of the major challenging goals for the future. Nature has developed ...
Font Rubio, Pau (Date of defense: 2023-10-06)
Homogeneous reactions catalyzed by gold have mainly been developed in the past two decades, stemming from the proneness of Au(I) and Au(III) complexes to coordinate and activate carbon-carbon multiple bonds towards a ...
Sabeña Vila, Gerard (Date of defense: 2017-06-23)
In this work we have prepared octahedral non - heme iron species in high oxidation states. Iron (IV) - oxo and iron (IV) - imido complexes based on triazacyclononane scaffold had been synthesised and all of them had been ...
Vicens Serra, Laia (Date of defense: 2023-07-18)
Most of the organic molecules used in chemical industry (and their synthetic precursors) contain oxygen atoms in their structure. One of the most convenient methods for the preparation of oxygenated compounds is the ...
Arbusé Font, Arnau (Date of defense: 2020-11-12)
Macrocyclic ligands and its complexes have been studied in a wide variety of fields, among them bioinorganic chemistry. In this work it is reported three studies of macrocyclic species under three points of view. Firstly, ...
