Fundamental study of electrocatalysis in energy related applications such as fuels cells and hydrogen production is important because it impacts and possibly defines the future energy technology picture. Platinum-based electrocatalysts are widely used for their exemplary perform…

This thesis describes the synthesis, characterisation and reactivity of new manganese and rhenium(I) NHC complexes, which have been investigated both thermally and photochemically and the results contrasted with existing phosphine analogues in the literature. Cp’Mn(CO)2(NHC) (NH…
