Onder de gezamenlijke titel ‘Scarcity and the State’ verschenen onlangs twee Engelstalige boeken over de verdeling van schaarse publieke rechten (Intersentia 2016). Paul Adriaanse (UL), Frank van Ommeren (VU), Willemien den Ouden (UL) en Johan Wolswinkel (Tilburg University) voerden de redactie. Aan…

Het vertrekpunt van dit onderzoek is de bevinding dat het menselijk brein vatbaar is voor allerlei denkfouten en vooringenomenheden (biases), die onze percepties kleuren en onze redenaties beïnvloeden, zonder dat we dit bewust doorhebben. Integendeel, mensen hebben veelal het gevoel dat zij slechts…

Het doet het Europa Instituut genoegen aan te kondigen dat op 21 november 2016 de 5e druk is verschenen van het handboek “EU State Aids” (31 hoofdstukken, 1500 pagina’s).

The research described in this thesis focused on the preparation of S/N functionalized carbene ligands and their transition metal complexes, and the exploration of their application as electrocatalysts for proton reduction.

In this thesis, the researcher developed a nanosystem based on the metallophilic Interaction between cyclometalated complexes.

Indonesia is experiencing various environmental challenges related to its fast economic growth. Therefore, it is necessary to have measurable and applicable indicators to obtain accurate data and information regarding the costs of adverse environmental impacts arising from economic activities to support…

In photoactivated chemotherapy (PACT), a biologically active compound is caged by a light-cleavable protecting group.

The ultimate aim of this project (initiated by the European Law Institute) is to design a framework that will enable the further development of coherent and functional rules for business rescue in Europe.

In this dissertation, the synthesis and characterization of a series of iron complexes based on different ligand platforms are described.

In the last decade, the redox interconversion between metal thiolate and disulfide compounds has been extensively investigated for copper, but not for other transition metal ions.

Voltammetry plays a crucial role in modern scientific research by offering valuable insights into the electrochemical properties of materials, with wide-ranging applications in fields such as materials science, energy storage, corrosion studies, and sensor development.

Human civilization consumes a huge amount of fossil fuels, which has resulted in an atmospheric CO2 level which has not been higher in over 800 millennia.

The main goal of the research described in this thesis was the development of new photoactivated chemotherapy (PACT) ruthenium(II) complexes bearing a non-toxic photolabile ligand.

Solar energy is used by photosynthetic organisms to drive energy required cellular processes. Is absorbed by two groups of pigments, located in the LHCs.

Metal complexes and 2D materials like graphene were combined to produce structures that can function as sensors.

Hydrocarbonylation of alkenes with carboxylic acids in synthesis of carboxylic acid anhydrides is relatively less explored. We herein present a study and optimization of a palladium-catalyzed hydrocarbonylation reaction of alkenes using carboxylic acids as the nucleophile, by which acid anhydrides can…

In this dissertation iron-based homogeneous catalysts were synthesized, characterized and investigated for water oxidation activity.

This research focuses on the distribution of chemical elements in protoplanetary disks, the birthplaces of planets. These disks form around young stars and contain gas and dust, from which planets grow. Ice plays a crucial role in planet formation, aiding the clumping of dust particles and influencing…

As leading cause of death worldwide, cancer is responsible for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020 according to World Health Organization (WHO). Cisplatin and its derivatives are commonly used chemotherapy agents for current cancer treatment in the clinics.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading global cause of mortality. Endothelial dysfunction, an early reversible stage of CVD development, is marked by decreased nitric oxide production linked to Ca2+ influx in endothelial cells.

The goal of the research presented in this thesis was to explore the chemical space of ruthenium(II) photocages, investigate their ability to host potent chemotherapy drugs, and to red shift the activation wavelength of the most promising PACT candidates to conduct biological studies.

Stars like the sun are born in large molecular clouds existing from gas and dust. During the formation process, the chemical composition of the material can be altered drastically by the changing physical conditions.

The electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is an essential half-reaction for the utilization of hydrogen as a sustainable fuel, via the conversion of hydrogen to electrons and protons facilitated by the ORR. In the most common fuel cells, the ORR is requires high loadings of non-abundant platinum…
