A diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS) approach for the functionalisation of benzo(g)(iso)quinoline--5,10-dione derivates with potential anti-plasmodial and anti-mycobacterial activity. University of Antwerp
Recycling of rare earths from fluorescent lamps KU Leuven
Ionic liquids (ILs) are of high interest as alternative solvents in solvent extraction applications and metal processing. Their negligible vapor pressure and low flammability make them safer and more convenient to handle than volatile organic solvents. Furthermore, their structure can be modified and functionalized to incorporate metal extracting groups and to tune their physical properties. In this thesis we used smart IL design to provide ...

Redesigning the leaving group in self-replicating systems. KU Leuven
The scope of this project is to develop complex systems inspired on biomolecules while utilising and developing an unconventional and innovative approach towards the programming of information in our conceived monomers designed for self-replication.
Throughout the literature we can find parallel trends in designing systems holding molecular information. Supramolecular chemists have been developing molecular ‘receptors’ to ...
