Sc. Lydia Katharina Vogt (née Neumann) %O Dissertation Universität Rostock 2017 %X This thesis deals with the aqueous-phase reforming of methanol catalysed by homogeneous pincer complexes. Based on extensive kinetic experiments, spectroscopic investigations and supporting theoretical calculations, a complete mechanistic cycle could be proposed for a Ru-pincer catalyst and its methylated derivative. Furthermore, a highly stable catalyst system based on the base metal manganese was implemented for the low-temperature dehydrogenation of methanol. %L 540 %9 theses %9 Text %9 Hochschulschrift %U http://rosdok.uni-rostock.de/resolve/urn/urn:nbn:de:gbv:28-diss2017-0086-0
