Hamadi Al-Qaessi Thesis submitted to the Department of Chemistry of Universität Duisburg-Essen, in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Dr. rer. nat. Approved by the examination committee on December 17, 2007: Chair : Prof. Dr. Georg Jansen Advisor : Prof. Dr. Axel Schönbucher Reviewer : Prof. Dr. Mathias Ulbricht Essen, 2007 Declaration I declare here that I have written this thesis on my own. The literature and technical aids used have been completely indicated. Essen, 14.11.2007 Signature: Acknowledgements First, I wish to express my deep gratitude and appreciation to my advisor Prof. Dr. Axel Schönbucher for accepting me as a Ph.D. student in his Institute of Chemical Engineering (Institut für Technische Chemie I, Universität Duisburg-Essen), and for his guidance and support in the course of this work. He has given me helpful advice on approaching and performing challenging tasks. This research would not have been possible without his prominent views and discussions. I am very grateful to Prof. Dr.
