- The coupling reaction of 4-methylpyridine to form 4,4 ' -dimethyl-2,2 ' -bipyridine using a carbon-supported palladium catalyst was studied. Whereas previous research indicated that the reaction is catalyzed by palladium(0), we have found evidence that the reaction is catalyzed by palladium(II). Although oxygen can be used as the oxidative agent, the reaction is ultimately Limited by catalyst deactivation. The major source of deactivation is most likely depletion of the palladium(II) oxide. The catalyst is reduced during the reaction and in the case of the oxygen-treated catalyst a small amount of palladium appears to be dissolved. In an investigation of the catalyst using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) it was found that deactivation is also caused by poisoning, the poison being either the product and/or the by-product.

- The Mn-V complex in the title compound, (C8H20N)[ Mn(C21H26N4O4)O], is interesting as it has been suggested that Mn-V oxospecies are intermediates both in epoxidation of alkenes and in water oxidation in PSII, i.e. photosystem II, the protein found in oxygenic photosynthetic organisms, which uses light to split water into O-2, protons and electrons. The Mn atom has a square-pyramidal coordination of four N atoms with an apical O atom. The four N atoms coordinating to Mn [Mn-N = 1.872 (2)-1.882 (2) angstrom] form a plane within 0.03 (3) angstrom from which the Mn ion is displaced by 0.582 (2) angstrom.

- We use core level photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) to investigate the iodine-induced Pd(1 1 1)-I(root 3 x root 3) structure formed at 1/3 NIL coverage. From the calculations we find that iodine adsorbs preferentially in the fcc hollow site. The calculated equilibrium distance is 2.06 angstrom and the adsorption energy is 68 kcal/mol, compared to 2.45 angstrom and 54 kcal/mol in the atop position. The adsorption energy difference between fcc and hcp hollows is 1.7 kcal/mol. Calculated Pd 3d surface core level shift on clean Pd(1 1 1) is 0.30 eV to lower binding energy, in excellent agreement with our experimental findings (0.28-0.29 eV). On the Pd(1 1 1)-I(root 3 x root 3) we find no Pd 3d surface core level shift, neither experimentally nor, theoretically. Calculated charge transfer for the fcc site, determined from the Hirshfeld partitioning method, suggests that the iodine atom remains almost neutral upon adsorption.

- The synthesis of a new compound, 10-(4-aminophenyl)-5,15-dimesitylcorrole, and its application for the preparation of optical chemical pH sensors is described. The dye materials were immobilized in a sol - gel glass matrix and characterised upon exposure to aqueous buffer solutions. The response of the sensor is based on the fluorescence intensity changing of corrole owing to multiple steps of protonation and deprotonation. Due to its containing several proton sensitive centers, the 10-(4-aminophenyl)- 5,15-dimesitylcorrole based optode shows a wider response range toward pH than that of tetraphenylporphyrin (TPPH2) and 5,10,15-tris( pentafluorophenyl) corrole (H-3(tpfc)). It shows a linear pH response in the range of 2.17 - 10.30. The effect of the composition of the sensor membrane has been studied and the experimental conditions were optimized. The optode showed good reproducibility and reversibility, and common co-existing inorganic ions did not show obvious interference to its pH measurement.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- We present progress in the development of artificial photosynthesis, as a means to harvesting and storage of solar energy. The plan is to compose molecular systems that combine known photochemistry with emerging functional model compounds. A photochemical device for solar energy conversion contains a photosensitizer, an electron acceptor system and a donor system that prevents charge recombination. Our goal is to utilize water as sacrificial electron donor, which will allow a net production of reducing equivalents, and the ultimate production of fuel. The only light-driven molecular catalyst for water oxidation exists in Photosystem II (PSII), which has a tetranuclear Mn-cluster in the active site. Here we present several Mn-compounds, that we have developed for the purpose of creating water-oxidizing catalysts. Our idea is to link Ru-tris(bipyridine) derivatives, which mimicks the function of the primary donor in PS II, with manganese complexes, mimicking the tetra-Mn cluster on the PSII donor side. We have constructed a number of heteronuclear complexes, containing a Ru-photosensitizer and various Mn-complexes. The compounds have been characterized with regards to their photophysical and photochemical properties, redox potentials and structure. The most promising compounds are capable of undergoing several electron transfers from the Mn-complex to the photosensitizer, leaving 3 to 4 oxidizing equivalents on the Mn. In the latest development, we have constructed ligands that stabilize higher oxidation states in Mn, in order to promote formation of Mn(V) which many believes is an intermediate in the water oxidation mechanism.
