In the last decades, carbenes have shown a huge potential and versatility in organometallic and organic chemistry. In each of these fields, first row transition metal chemistry is less developed than ...
The transformation of C-H bonds into C-O/N bonds is a process of interest in organic synthesis, but controlling the reactivity and selectivity among the multiple C-H bonds existing in most molecules is ...
This thesis is focused on the use of the Diffusive Gradient in thin film (DGT) technique for the analysis of bioavailable mercury and other trace metals in water and soil. Homemade DGT devices using a ...
Aromaticity is a key concept in chemistry, used by chemists to explain the structure, stability, and reactivity of many compounds. Aromatic compounds are present in industrial processes as well as in ...
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 ...
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 ...
One of the major current scientific goals is the development of renewable energy sources. An effective alternative to fossil fuels consists in the conversion of the sunlight energy into chemical fuels. ...
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, ...
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 ...
It all started in 1985, when Kroto, Smalley and Curl discovered by serendipity a new carbon allotrope. They synthesized for the first time the C60 molecule, and named it as ”Buckminsterfullerene”, because ...
