Widening participation in medicine in the UK and Australia: An international comparison of policy, process and experience

Abstract

This thesis contains the photochemical investigation and synthesis of ten Manganese(I) Tricarbonyl complexes bound to variably functionalised 5-aryl-tetrazolato ligands. When irradiated with light, all 10 of the complexes simultaneously released three CO ligands, degrading into their original components and MnO2. The thesis also consists of the study of three Re(I) tricarbonyl complexes, with the general formulation Re(N^L)(CO)3X, with the aim of exploring their photophysical and photochemical properties. The two complexes bound to the thione ligand were found to undergo reversible ligand exchange with solvent when dissolved in acetonitrile.
