The Mn(VII)-H2O2 oxidation process: Abatement of electron-deficient N-containing organic compounds
Chemical oxidants applied in water treatment are electrophiles, which preferentially attack sites with higher electron density. This typically results in less efficient oxidative abatement of organic compounds with electronwithdrawing substituents. In this ...
Lausanne2024Ring-Opening Reactions of Aminocyclopropanes and Aminocyclobutanes
Nitrogen-containing compounds are an important class of molecules in medicinal chemistry, chemical biology, biochemistry, material sciences or environmental sciences. Organic nitrogen occurs in many forms, ranging from small building blocks such as urea, a ...
EPFL2022Alignment of energy levels in amorphous oxides and at semiconductor-water interfaces
We conduct a detailed investigation of defects in two representative amorphous oxides: amorphous Al2O3 (am-Al2O3) and TiO2 (am-TiO2), by combining ab initio molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and hybrid functional calculations. Our results indicate that o ...
EPFL2019On-Surface Assembly and Reactions of Organic Molecules in Ultra-High Vacuum
This thesis comprises the study of two types of 2D materials, those stabilized by non-covalent and those by covalent interactions. They are synthesized and studied on well-defined metallic surfaces in ultra-high vacuum (UHV). The self-assembly of terephtha ...
