PolycondensationHistory and New Results

This book reports on origin and history of polycon-densation chemistry beginning in the first half of the

19th century. Furthermore, history and inventors ofthe most important polycondensates, such as Nylons,PET or polycarbonates, are described. The classicaltheory of step-growth polymerizations is discussedin the light of the latest experimental and theoreti-cal results. Particular emphasis is laid on the role ofcyclization reactions. Special categories of polycon-densation processes are discussed in more detail: syn-theses of hyperbranched and multicyclic polymers,non-stoichiometric polycondensations, interfacialpolycondensations, solid state polycondensations,condensative chain[...]

Development of New RadicalCascades and Multi-ComponentReactionsApplication to the Synthesis of Nitrogen-Containing Heterocycles

In this dissertation, Marie-Hélène Larraufie developsoriginal radical and pallado-catalyzed methodologiesto enable the synthesis of several classes of bioactivenitrogen-containing heterocycles. New radical cas-cades employing the N-acylcyanamide moiety offerstraightforward routes to quinazolinones and guani-dines, as well as new insights into the mechanism ofhomolytic aromatic substitutions. In parallel, Larrau-fie expands the scope of visible light photoredox catal-ysis to the ring opening of epoxides and aziridines,thus providing new sustainable alternatives for thegeneration of radicals. Furthermore, in a collabora-tive effort with the Catellani group, the author investi-gates[...]

The Non-Ergodic Nature ofInternal ConversionAn Experimental and Theoretical Approach

This thesis investigates the transitions from one elec-tronically excited state to another. Such processes- the fastest of events in chemistry - can be stud-ied with femtosecond resolution, and Thomas S.Kuhlman approaches the question both with exper-imental and theoretical methods. His approach con-tributes to explain processes of high importance toall scientific fields concerned with the interaction be-tween light and matter: the deactivation of the elec-tronically excited states after excitation. Thomas S.Kuhlman concludes in this thesis that the electronictransition proceeds before the entire set of availabledegrees of freedom are active - 'It is as simple as that' !

Catalysis with Supported Size-selected Pt ClustersFundamental UHV and Applied AmbientExperiments

In his thesis, Florian Schweinberger investigates theinfluence of the precise size of catalytically activespecies on reactivity. In order to do this he carriesout studies both in UHV and under ambient con-ditions for supported, size-selected Platium clusters(8-68 atoms). Schweinberger probed the electronicstructure, adsorption properties and reactivity of two

olefins on surfaces and Pt clusters in the submono-layer range. With adsorbed trichloroethene (TCE) apossible cluster-adsorbate induced change in the elec-tronic structure, and for ethene a low-temperature,size-dependent self-/hydrogenation was observed.In acollaborative approach, Schweinberger and colleaguesinvestigated Pt[...]

The Chemistry of SuperheavyElementsThe second edition of "The Chemistry of the Super-heavy Elements" provides a complete coverage ofthe chemistry of a series of elements beginning withatomic number 104 – the transactinides or super-heavy elements – including their nuclear proper-ties and production in nuclear reactions at heavy-ion accelerators. The contributors to this workinclude many renowned scientists who, during thelast decades, have made vast contributions towardsunderstanding the physics and chemistry of these elu-sive elements, both experimentally and theoretically.The main emphasis here is on demonstrating the fas-cinating studies involved in probing the architectureof the Periodic Table at its uppermost[...]

Atomic Layer Deposition forSemiconductorsThis edited volume discusses atomic layer deposi-tion (ALD) for all modern semiconductor devices,moving from the basic chemistry of ALD and mod-eling of ALD processes to sections on ALD for mem-ories, logic devices, and machines. The section onALD for memories covers both mass-produced mem-ories, such as DRAM and Flash, and emerging mem-ories, such as PCRAM and FeRAM. The section onALD for logic devices covers both front-end of theline processes and back-end of the line processes. Thefinal section on ALD for machines looks at toolsetsand systems hardware. Each chapter provides the his-tory, operating principles, and a full explanation ofALD processes for each device.

Principles of Polymer Design andSynthesisHow can a scientist or engineer synthesize and uti-lize polymers to solve our daily problems? This intro-ductory text, aimed at the advanced undergraduateor graduate student, provides future scientists andengineers with the fundamental knowledge of poly-mer design and synthesis to achieve specific prop-erties required in everyday applications. In the firstfive chapters, this book discusses the properties andcharacterization of polymers, since designing a poly-mer initially requires us to understand the effects ofchemical structure on physical and chemical charac-teristics. Six further chapters discuss the principles of

polymerization reactions including step, radical chain,ionic[...]

Modified Cyclodextrins for ChiralSeparationModified Cyclodextrins for Chiral Separation offersa review of the latest advances in developing modi-fied cyclodextrins as chiral selectors for various chro-matographic and electromigration techniques. Overthe years, many descriptions of chiral separation haveappeared in academic journals and books, but mostof them have been devoted to either the developmentof analytical methods and protocols or the summaryof different chiral selectors, including cyclodextrinsfor chiral separation applications. This is in markedcontrast to this volume which focuses on the researchendeavors concerning the development of cyclodex-trin derivatives specifically as either chiral mobilephases for[...]

Organic Chemistry in ConfiningMediaZory Vlad Todres' monograph offers a fresh insightinto an important and developed area of organicchemistry. Calixarene, cyclodextrins, and cucurbi-turils as host molecules are well known, but the cor-responding new and demonstrative publicationsdeserve new exposition. This book principally widensour consideration of organic reactivity in confiningmedia. Topics discussed include: effects of micelliza-tion, porous effects, effects of solvent cages, complex-ation to organometallic compounds, hydrogen-bond

or charge-transfer complexation, sorption effects,effects of solvents, and stereochemical changes uponconfinement. Organic Chemistry in Confining Mediais useful for experienced[...]

Mycotoxins in FoodstuffsMycotoxin contamination of food occurs as a resultof crop invasion by field fungi such as Fusarium spp.,Alternaria spp., Aspergillus spp., and Penicilliumspp., which start their growth while in storage (stor-age fungi). In the worst case, these fungi producesecondary metabolites called mycotoxins. They canbe very harmful to humans and animals when forexample they are consumed through food. Mycotox-ins have various negative effects on several organs inhumans and animals. The present book gives a basicoverview of the main mycotoxins in food. It lists thepredisposition of a foodstuff for mycotoxin contam-ination, the degree of contamination, concentration,and country of[...]

How Free Cationic Polymer ChainsPromote Gene TransfectionIn this PhD thesis, Yue Yanan addresses a long-over-looked and critical question in the development ofnon-viral vectors for gene delivery. The author deter-mines that those uncomplexed and cationic polymerchains free in the solution mixture of polymer andDNA facilitate and promote gene transfection. Fur-thermore, by using a combination of synthetic chem-istry, polymer physics and molecular biology, Yueconfirms that it is those cationic polymer chains freein the solution mixture, rather than those bound toDNA chains, that play a decisive role in intracellulartrafficking. Instead of the previously proposed andwidely accepted “proton sponge” model, the author'sgroup propose a new[...]
