The Design of Ruthenium and Iridium Triplet Photosensitisers
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2023)This thesis describes compounds designed to harness the energies of photon-induced transitions between electronic energy levels. Applications that involve such transitions include but are not limited to photodynamic therapy, ... -
Effect of sample bias on backscattered ion spectroscopy in the helium ion microscope
(2010)The authors present experimental results showing the effect of an applied bias voltage on backscattered ion spectra acquired from thin films of ruthenium and hafnia in the helium ion microscope. A characteristic peak ... -
Hidden aryl-exchange processes in stable 16e RhIII [RhCp*Ar2] complexes, and their unexpected transmetalation mechanism
(2018)Experiments mixing the stable 16e 5-coordinate complexes [RhCp∗Ar2] (Cp∗ = C5Me5; Ar = C6F5, C6F3Cl2-3,5) uncover fast aryl transmetalations. Unexpectedly, as supported computationally, these exchanges are not spontaneous, ... -
Inosine Can Increase DNA's Susceptibility to Photo-oxidation by a RuII Complex due to Structural Change in the Minor Groove
(2017)Key to the development of DNA-targeting phototherapeutic drugs is determining the interplay between the photoactivity of the drug and its binding preference for a target sequence. For the photo-oxidising lambda-[Ru(TAP)2 ... -
Ruthenium Polypyridyl Complexes for Biological Applications in Imaging and as Anti-Cancer Agents
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2018)Ruthenium-polypyridyl complexes containing extended aromatic ring systems exhibit attractive photophysical properties and have been shown to bind strongly to DNA. Such properties make complexes like these suitable for a ... -
Synthesis of Porphyrinoids, BODIPYs, and (Dipyrrinato)ruthenium(II) Complexes from Prefunctionalized Dipyrromethanes
(2019)The introduction of functional groups into the mesoposition of dipyrromethanes, boron-dipyrromethenes (BODIPYs) and porphyrinoids, is of fundamental importance in designing such dye systems for material sciences or ...
