Development of remote C-H bond functionalization of redox-active alcohol derivatives and oxidative transformations under photoredox catalysis

The development of radical-based remote C(sp3)-H functionalizations of redox-active alcohol derivatives, oxidative cycloaddition and rearrangement transformations under visible light photocatalysis constitute the basis of this thesis. The first chapter des ...

Atomic Level Insights of Non-Noble Metal Catalysts for the Oxygen Evolution Reaction

Lichen Bai

The conversion of intermittent renewable energy resources in the form of chemical bond, such as hydrogen production from electrochemical water splitting, is a promising way to satisfy the future global energy demand and address the environmental issues. Th ...

A Rosetta-based protein design protocol converging to natural sequences

Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Zander Harteveld, Giulia Sormani, Stéphane Rosset

Computational protein design has emerged as a powerful tool capable of identifying sequences compatible with pre-defined protein structures. The sequence design protocols, implemented in the Rosetta suite, have become widely used in the protein engineering ...

Intermolecular Pd(0)-Catalyzed Atropo-enantioselective C-H Arylation of Heteroarenes and Other Investigations into the Enantioselective Activation of Challenging C(sp3)-H Bonds

Qui-Hien Nguyen

The direct construction of stereogenic axes by enantioselective C-H arylation has been regarded as a very challenging transformation. Very few examples have been reported, despite the indisputable straight-forwardness of the methodology. This is due to the ...

Hydrogen production on demand by redox-mediated electrocatalysis: A kinetic study

Hubert Girault, Sunny Isaïe Maye, Danick Reynard

Producing hydrogen from water using a redox mediator on solid electrocatalyst particles in a reactor offers several advantages over classical electrolysis in terms of safety, membrane degradation, purity and flexibility. Herein, vanadium-mediated hydrogen ...

Beyond Security and Efficiency: On-Demand Ratcheting with Security Awareness

Serge Vaudenay, Andrea Felice Caforio, Fatma Betül Durak

Secure asynchronous two-party communication applies ratcheting to strengthen privacy, in the presence of internal state exposures. Security with ratcheting is provided in two forms: forward security and post-compromise security. There have been several suc ...

Study of He/Ne+Ar, Kr, N2, H2, D2 Chemi-Ionization Reactions by Electron Velocity-Map Imaging

Andreas Osterwalder, Junwen Zou, Sean Dennis Steven Gordon, Silvia Tanteri

The chemi-ionization of Ar, Kr, N2, H2, and D2 by Ne(3P2) and of Ar, Kr, and N2 by He(3S1) was studied by electron velocity map imaging (e-VMI) in a crossed molecular beam experiment. A curved magnetic hexapole was used to state-select the metastable speci ...

Factors affecting the reactivity of slag at early and late ages

Mohsen Ben Haha, Karen Scrivener, Yosra Briki

This study investigates the difference between the reactivity of slag in NaOH solution (w/s = 100) and in cement paste (w/b = 0.4). The reactivity of slag is much higher in NaOH solution than in cement paste. When the NaOH solution is saturated with portla ...

Studies of cold chemistry in crossed and merged neutral beams

Silvia Tanteri

In this thesis we present the design of two setups to study low-energy collisions between neutral species: an electron velocity map imaging for chemi-ionisation reactions and a merged electrostatic guide for polar molecules scattering. In the past few yea ...

Investigating Tetrel-Based Neutral Frustrated Lewis Pairs for Hydrogen Activation

Shubhajit Das

Tetrel Lewis acids are a prospective alternative to commonly employed neutral boranes in frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) chemistry. While cationic tetrylium Lewis acids, being isolobal and iso(valence)electronic, are a natural replacement to boranes, neutral t ...
