In this thesis, we focus on investigating the shape and size evolution of colloidal CdSe nanomaterials in the presence of carboxylate and alkylamine surface ligands. By elaborating the combination of carboxylates and alkylamines with different hydrocarbon ...
Two dicopper (II) complexes of general formula CuLX2 {L = 2, 5-diphenyl-3, 4(2-pyridyl) cyclopenta-2, 4-dien-1-one, X = Cl (1) or Br (2)} have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV-Vis spectroscopic methods. The crystal stru ...
Chiral cyclopentadienyl (Cp-x) group 9 metal complexes have become versatile catalysts for a variety of efficient enantioselective C-H functionalizations. Atropchiral binaphthyl-derived Cp-x ligands having tuning options at the 3,3'-positions present a rob ...
This thesis is dedicated to the study of various aspects of the electronic structure of two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) of chemical composition MX2 (where M is a transition metal atom and X= S, Se, Te), using a combination of \te ...
The development of new processes for the selective and sustainable transformation of abundant small molecules constitutes one of the major research areas in inorganic and organometallic chemistry. These molecules as CO2, CO, N2 and H2 are abundant reservoi ...
The synthesis and reactivity of uranium compounds supported by the tris-tert-butoxysiloxide ligand is surveyed. The multiple binding modes of the tert-butoxysiloxide ligand have proven very well suited to stabilize highly reactive homo- and heteropolymetal ...
Gene delivery using vector or viral-based methods is often limited by technical and safety barriers. A promising alternative that circumvents these shortcomings is the direct delivery of proteins into cells. Here we introduce a non-viral, ligand-mediated p ...
N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are the ligands of choice in a large variety of transformations entailing different transition metals. However, the number of chiral NHCs suitable as stereocontrolling ligands in asymmetric catalysis remains limited. In parti ...
Two dinuclear homoleptic complexes of lanthanides(II) supported by the polydentate tris(tertbutoxy) siloxide ligand ([Yb2L4], 1-Yb and [Sm2L4], 1-Sm, (L = (OtBu)3SiO−)) were synthesized in 70–80% yield and 1-Sm was crystallographically characterized. 1-Yb ...
