Computational chemistry applied to hydrocarbon functionalization by iron catalysts, oxidation state characterization, and electrides design

In this thesis, the three constituent areas of chemistry (in agreement with Jensen's quotation in his "Introduction to Computational Chemistry" book), which are construction, transformation, and properties of molecules, are addressed by means of theoretical and computational technique...

Descrição
Resumo:In this thesis, the three constituent areas of chemistry (in agreement with Jensen's quotation in his "Introduction to Computational Chemistry" book), which are construction, transformation, and properties of molecules, are addressed by means of theoretical and computational techniques. Then, for each area, we have selected a different research project, whose main chemical interest is related with one of them. In that way, the study of the C-H bond functionalization of non-activated hydrocarbons by iron catalysts has been chosen as the research project for the molecular-transformation section; the oxidation state is the property this thesis focuses on; and, regarding molecular construction or design, this thesis describes the electronic structure of molecular electrides
