Fluoroalkoxy-functionalized carbenes for main group and transition metal complexes
… and as sterically hindered Lewis bases for hydrogen activation. Chapter 1 reviews the background of carbenes as ligands for main group compounds and transition metal complexes. The history and development of chelating Martin-type fluoroalkoxy ligands to form unique bonding architectures is …

Developing hydrogen oxidation electrocatalysts using a frustrated Lewis pair approach
In order for hydrogen to be utilised as an energy vector, precious metals such as platinum are often employed as electrocatalysts, to enable the efficient conversion of hydrogen into electrical energy. However, the low abundance and high cost of such metals limits their economic viability. …

ORGANOMETALLIC CHEMISTRY FROM THE INTERACTING QUANTUM ATOM APPROACH
The Interacting Quantum Atoms approach(IQA) is a recent development of Bader’s QTAM(Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules). During the PhD studies the use of pseudopotential inside IQA was implemented allowing the study of transition metal compounds with this techniques. Furthermore IQA concepts …
