Advances in ruthenium-based light harvesting materials and photocatalysis: From molecular photosensitizers to photoactive frameworks
Hennessey, Seán (NUI Galway, 2022-04-08)The presented manuscript deals with the areas of light harvesting and photocatalysis in solar chemistry. The work presented is divided into several sections, beginning with an introductory chapter on the main topics involved ... -
Heterocyclic chemistry: Controlled unmasking of nitric oxide and nitroxides
Kielty, Patrick (NUI Galway, 2019-11-29)Nitric oxide (NO) is a gaseous free radical with medicinally significant properties. The NO-releasing prodrug, isosorbide-5-mononitrate (Is5N), is long established for the treatment of angina pectoris. Nitroxides are organic ... -
Investigation of metallacarboranes as unexpected therapeutics against triple-negative breast cancer cells
Murphy, Neville (NUI Galway, 2023-10-03)Metallacarboranes have been shown to have very promising properties for biomedical applications, with some derivatives having already shown good results in a number of cancer subtypes. The ability to self-aggregate, ... -
Modelling the role of doping elements in metal oxides for photocatalytic organic wastewater treatment
Christhunathan, Vivek (NUI Galway, 2023-10-06)The thesis presents research on visible light-harvesting photocatalysts for wastewater treatment, with a specific focus on the design of an advanced photocatalyst capable of efficiently generating electron-hole (e- -h+) ...
