One dozen of tailormade model 3-fluoro-2(1H)-quinolinones were synthesized, in order to be investigated by UV-, IR- and NMR spectroscopic techniques. All of these compounds were found to exist predominantly, if not exclusively, in the lactam (carboxamide, ...
The electrochemical activation of ethylene oxidation was studied over rhodium catalysts of different thickness (40, 100 and 160 nm) sputtered on top of a thin layer of TiO2 deposited on YSZ. The strong relationship between catalytic activity and oxidation ...

Structured supported ionic liquid-phase (SSILP) catalysis is a new concept with the advantages of ionic liquids (ILs) used as solvents for homogeneous catalyst and the further benefits of structured heterogeneous catalysts. This is achieved by confining th ...
Chiral rhodium(I) complexes activate allenyl tert-cyclobutanols efficiently through enantioselective insertion into a C-C σ bond of the cyclobutane. Ring expansion by this method produced cyclohexenones with quaternary stereogenic centers with excellent e ...
The hydration of nitrites to the corresponding amides is all important reaction for both laboratory and industry purposes. The classical synthesis method requires harsh conditions, gives low yields, and is nonselective due to further hydrolysis of the amid ...
Direct conversion of lignin into alkanes and methanol was carried out in a two-step process (hydrogenolysis and hydrogenation) involving initial treatment of white birch wood sawdust with H2 in dioxane/water/phosphoric acid using carbon supported Ru, Pd, R ...
One possibility for the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is catalytic oxidation. For the removal of VOCs in low concentration (≲ 3000 ppmv for propane) it is not possible to sustain the required oxidation temperature over the catalyst wit ...
The coordination ability of the hexaphosphinoylated p-tert-butylcalix[6]arene B6bL6 toward actinides is established, as well as its good separation ability of the actinide ions UO22+ and Th(IV) over trivalent rare earths such as La(III), Eu(III) ...
This thesis deals with the self-organization of individual building blocks, specifically organic molecules and metal atoms, into supramolecular structures on metal surfaces under ultra high vacuum conditions (UHV). Self-organization of supramolecular syste ...
