Magnetic properties of surface-adsorbed single rare earth atoms, molecules, and atomic scale clusters

Aparajita Singha

This thesis presents combined experimental and theoretical investigations of nanoscale, surface-supported magnets based on rare earths (RE) to understand and control the magnetic properties down to the scale of single atoms. We present the effects of adato ...

First-principles calculations of momentum distributions of annihilating electron-positron pairs in defects in UO2

Julia Anna Wiktor

We performed first-principles calculations of the momentum distributions of annihilating electron-positron pairs in vacancies in uranium dioxide. Full atomic relaxation effects (due to both electronic and positronic forces) were taken into account and self ...

Nuclear Quantum Effects in Water Reorientation and Hydrogen-Bond Dynamics

David Mark Wilkins

We combine classical and ring polymer molecular dynamics simulations with the molecular jump model to provide a molecular description of the nuclear quantum effects (NQEs) on water reorientation and hydrogen-bond dynamics in liquid H2O and D2O. We show tha ...

Synthesis of molecular complexes for small molecule activation

Julie Renée Michelle Andrez

The redox chemistry of f-elements is drawing the attention of inorganic chemists due to their unusual reaction pathways. Notably low-valent f-element complexes have been shown to be able to activate small molecules such as CO2 and N2 in mild conditions. Co ...

Isolation of a Star-Shaped Uranium(V/VI) Cluster from the Anaerobic Photochemical Reduction of Uranyl(VI)

Rosario Scopelliti, Marinella Mazzanti, Lucile Sylvie Danielle Chatelain

Actinide oxo clusters are an important class of compounds due to their impact on actinide migration in the environment. The photolytic reduction of uranyl(VI) has potential application in catalysis and spent nuclear fuel reprocessing, but the intermediate ...

Water exchange studies of lanthanide complexes and aqua ions

Shima Karimi

Complexes of lanthanide (III) ions have been used in structural studies of biomolecules and as contrast agents (CA). Clinically approved CAs have only one water molecule in their first coordination sphere. Structure and water exchange rate of these complex ...

Solvent Exchange and Electron-Spin Relaxation on Homoleptic Acetonitrile Complexes of Trivalent Lanthanides

Lothar Helm

Homoleptic acetonitrile complexes [Nd(CH3CN)(9)]Al(OC(CF3)(3))(4), [Dy(CH3CN)(9)]Al(OC(CF3)(3))(4), and [Tm(CH3CN)(8)]Al(OC(CF3)(3))(4) have been studied in anhydrous acetonitrile by 14N and 1H NMR relaxation. Solvent-exchange rate constants ...

Investigation of the water exchange mechanism of the Plutonyl(VI) and Uranyl(VI) ions with quantum chemical methods

François Rotzinger, Antonio Prlj

The water exchange reactions of PuO2(OH2)(5) and UO2(OH2)(5) were investigated with density functional theory (DFT) and wave function theory (WFT). Geometries and vibrational frequencies were calculated with DFT and CPCM hydration. The electron ...

Exploring the aqueous vertical ionization of organic molecules by molecular simulation and liquid microjet photoelectron spectroscopy

Jeremy Samuel Arey, Peter Rudolf Tentscher, Jennifer Guerard

To study the influence of aqueous solvent on the electronic energy levels of dissolved organic molecules, we conducted liquid microjet photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) measurements of the aqueous vertical ionization energies (VIEaq) of aniline (7.49 eV), v ...

Characterization of Solid-Liquid Interfaces with High-Resolution Atomic Force Microscopy

Maria Ricci

Solid-liquid interfaces are ubiquitous. Despite the unquestioned relevance, many scientific research fields rely on simplified or macroscopic descriptions, discarding the molecular nature of the constituents. However, it is the specific molecular interacti ...

Tridentate Benzimidazole-Pyridine-Tetrazolates as Sensitizers of Europium Luminescence

Rosario Scopelliti, Jean-Claude Bünzli, Svetlana Eliseeva

We report on new anionic tridentate benzimidazole-pyridine-tetrazolate ligands that form neutral 3:1 complexes with trivalent lanthanides. The ligands are UV-absorbing chromophores that sensitize the red luminescence of europium with energy-transfer effici ...

Single-molecule spectroscopy reveals chaperone-mediated expansion of substrate protein

Alessandro Barducci

Molecular chaperones are an essential part of the machinery that avoids protein aggregation and misfolding in vivo. However, understanding the molecular basis of how chaperones prevent such undesirable interactions requires the conformational changes withi ...
