The development of new chemical processes for the formation of carbon-carbon bonds is an important topic in organic chemistry. In particular, the transition metal catalysed [2+2+2] cycloaddition reaction is a highly efficient ...
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 ...
Antibiotic residues in the environment are amongst the most concerning micropollutants due to their potential impact on the natural ecosystems and human health. In this thesis, laboratory and field studies were conducted ...
Interactions between electrons determine the structure and properties of matter from molecules to solids. Therefore, the understanding of the electronic structure of molecules will enable us to extract relevant chemical ...
In order to evaluate the increasing environmental and human risk of anticancer drugs in the environment, more information needs to be gathered about their presence, their toxicity, bioaccumulation and persistence. In ...
This thesis presents different studies on hydrogen bonds that occur between two molecules. It is because of the biological importance of DNA that the base pairs, and other compounds with similar hydrogen bonds as these ...
The presence of xenobiotics - such as pharmaceutically active compounds, endocrine disrupting compounds and pesticides - in the aquatic environment has risen great environmental concern due to their high toxicity even at ...
La investigació que es presenta en aquesta tesi es centra en l'aplicació i millora de metodologies analítiques existents i el desenvolupament de nous procediments que poden ser utilitzats per a l'estudi dels efectes ...
Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) allow the achievement of high enrichment levels by using small volumes of solvents, enabling the low detection limits required for the determination of ketoprofen, naproxen, carbamazepine, ...
In this thesis, simple methods to determine sulfide at low levels (µg L-1) in aqueous samples and sediments by water free hydrogen sulfide vapor generation using a commercially available vapor generation accessory have ...
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 ...
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 ...
L'objectiu principal de la present tesi doctoral ha consistit fonamentalment en la síntesi de noves heteroarilglicines òpticament pures. Amb aquesta idea s'han desenvolupat dues estratègies diferents: síntesi estereoselectiva ...
According to a strategy based on an Aza-Wittig reaction type, an efficient methodology in solution toward the synthesis of libraries of 2-aminoimidazolones with high molecular diversity has been developed. The strategy is ...
El treball experimental que ha permès redactar la present Tesi Doctoral ha estat dividit en dues parts. A la primera part es presenten els resultats referents a la síntesi estereocontrolada de noves heteroarilglicines ...
Arsenic (As) is one of the common cancers causing contaminant in groundwater of West Bengal, India along with other regions of the world. Scientists believe that As contamination in groundwater of these region are because ...
Emerging organic contaminants (EOCs), like pharmaceuticals and endocrine disrupting compounds, are continuously introduced into the environment. Some 2/2 have been found in water bodies, posing a risk on human health and ...
The oxidation of hydrocarbons is one of the most important processes in the chemical industry, and it is often related to highly toxic reagents that generate a big amount of undesired residues. In sharp contrast, oxygenase ...
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 ...
The oxidation of hydrocarbons under soft and selective conditions is a reaction almost exclusively produced under these conditions by enzymes. A lot of these enzymes, posses iron in their metal center, responsible for the ...
