1. Influence of The Heavy Atom Effect on The Cage Escape Yields of Iron(III)-Photosensitizers with N-Heterocyclic Carbene Ligands
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Fysikalisk kemiAbstract : The recent emergence of earth-abundant iron(III)-photosensitizers with N-heterocyclic carbene ligands, exhibiting nanosecond ligand-to-metal charge-transfer states with suitable redox potentials to activate a broad range of substances, offers the possibility to convert sunlight into chemical substances, such as fuels or pharmaceuticals, in an environmentally friendly way. These complexes, however, often suffer from low yields of charge-separated products escaping the solvent cage, making such applications inherently inefficient. READ MORE

2. Synthesis and Characterization of some Photo-CORM and Photosensitizers
University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionenAbstract : It is well known that Carbon monoxide is a toxic and hazardous gas, but during recent years it has been proven that using a controlled concentration, carbon monoxide can in fact be used as a therapeutic agent, and can contribute to decrease malaria, treat cardiovascular and lung diseases and potentially even treat cancer, among other things. The main problem in using carbon monoxide directly is the fact that it is not trivial to control the volume of gas inhaled, compromising its use as a therapeutic agent. READ MORE
