Synthetic Applications of Polar Transition Metal Metallocenes
(2013-10-01)Since the sandwich structure of ferrocene was elucidated in 1952, metallocenes have generated a vast amount of interest. Transition metal metallocenes have previously been shown to be suitable precursors in the syntheses ... -
Synthesis and Coordination Chemistry of Functionalised Phosphazanes
(2016-10-27)This thesis focuses on the chemistry of novel phosphazane species derived from the chloro-phosphazanes [ClP(μ-NR)]$_2$ and their use as ligands and building blocks for macrocyclic compounds. The introduction (Chapter 1) ... -
A Window into Selective Catalytic Reduction: a RAIRS Study of NO and NH3 on Cu{311}
(2017-04-29)This thesis studies the interaction between the bare Cu{311} surface with NO and NH3,individually and co-adsorbed using reflection-absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS). In addition to the bare Cu{311} surface, the ... -
Development of a method for estimating methane gas emissions at high resolution
(Department of Chemistry, University of Cambridge, 2016-06-08)Methane is the second most important anthropogenic greenhouse gas, with a radiative warming of 0.97 [0.74-1.20] W m-2 (Stocker et al., 2013a) and a global warming potential of 21 times that of CO2 over a 100 year timescale ...
