the MOF project), Björn Schimmöller and Sotiris E. Pratsinis (for FSP synthesis and very fruitful<br />
discussion in the side‐chain oxidation project), Samira Telschow (for determining BET surfaces),<br />
Ioannis Tsivintzelis (for phase behavior modeling and advice) and finally Michael T. Wharmby and<br />
Paul A. Wright (for MOF synthesis and characterization). Furthermore I would like to thank Alexander<br />
Gese and Søren Mikkelsen for performing experiments for me as part of their studies.<br />
I would like to acknowledge my colleagues from ETH Zürich and DTU for integrating me so<br />
quickly and for the frequent Friday afternoon “meetings”. I enjoyed being a part of both groups! I<br />
would like to especially highlight Bertram Kimmerle, Jean‐Michel Andason, Stefan Marx, Fabian Jutz<br />
(all ETH), Jacob Brix, Jakob Munkholdt, Nikolaj Musko, Anne Juul Pedersen and Martin Høj (all DTU).<br />
Special thanks to Tobias Dokkedal Elmøe and Jacob Brix for translating the summary and the abstract<br />
to Danish. I was very much supported by the technicians at DTU especially by Mette Larsen and<br />
Anders Tiedje. Mette ordered chemicals and therefore received more than 100 APVs from me.<br />
Anders was always at hand when I had technical problems, supported me with ordering equipment<br />
and last but not least encouraged me strongly in using the Danish language. The tool shop helped out<br />
swiftly when repairs where necessary. Charly Pickel supported me with details and tricks for the<br />
“supercritical” setup.<br />
A Ph.D. study is nothing without social life. Sincere thanks to my departmental colleagues for<br />
fun spare time activities, the members of the Staff Club and to my friends, especially Per and Jacob<br />
who were there for me when life was tough. I would like to thank my family, Petra, my mother,<br />
Manfred, my father, my grandparents, my girlfriend Samira and my brother Manuel for supporting<br />
me during these three years. Without you my life would be so dull! I would like to highlight my<br />
mother who was always there for me during the past 28 years of my life and brought me to where I<br />
am now!<br />
I did my best not to forget anyone and apologize if I should have done so.<br />
