Supramolecular Chemistry On Carbon Dioxide
(Chemistry, 2008-04-22)
This dissertation describes approaches towards designs, syntheses, characterizations, and applications of supramolecular chemistry on carbon dioxide. Chapter 1 briefly overviews the field of supramolecular chemistry and ...
Ring Closing Enyne Metathesis Of Imidazole Derivatives And Subsequent Diels-Alder Reaction
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 2008-08-08)
The work presented in this thesis describes the development of new synthetic routes to elaborate simple imidazole derivatives into complex imidazole molecules by the application of different sequential transformations.
The ...
Combustion Synthesis And Doping Of Titanium Dioxide
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 2007-09-19)
A novel combustion technique was used for the preparation and doping of titanium dioxide (TiO2). This metal oxide of titanium is a large band gap semiconductor (3.0 - 3.2 eV) that primarily absorbs in the ultraviolet ...
Studies Towards Bioactive Imidazoles
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 2008-04-22)
The work presented in this thesis focuses on the development of an enantioselective and practical route form the total synthesis of villagorgin via haplosleridamine imidazole alkaloid containing β- carboline moiety by ...
Novel Phenomena In Encapsulating Hydrocarbon Gases
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 2008-04-22)
The use of hydrophobic forces for entrapment of gases in water will be discussed. Natural hydrocarbons, haloalkanes, and anesthetic gases are hydrophobic in nature. In the course of this investigation water-soluble molecular ...
Multiply Charged Cationic Pairing Agents For Trace Analysis Of Anionic Species By Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 2008-04-22)
Electrospray ionization is one of the most broadly useful and successful approaches for coupling high performance liquid chromatography to mass spectrometry. Most of the research in electrospray ionization mass spectrometry ...
Ionic Liquids: Syntheses, Characterization And Applications In Analytical Chemistry
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 2008-08-08)
Multifunctional ionic liquids (esp. dicationic and dianionic) have been shown to have a greater range of physical properties than most traditional, singly charged ILs. In this work, 28 novel tricationic ILs with specific ...
Studies Of Enantiomeric Separations Using Capillary Electrophoresis
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 2009-09-16)
The focus of this thesis is on using state-of-the-art capillary electrophoresis (CE) in enantiomeric separations. Chapter 1 provides a brief introduction to enantiomeric separations using CE. Chapters 2 through 5 presents ...
Effect Of Structure And Stereochemistry On Cytotoxicity Of Ruthenium Polypyridyl Complexes
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 2007-08-23)
Efforts to develop novel non-platinum, metal-based antitumor drugs have been pursued by many groups and ruthenium complexes have drawn a lot of attention as prospective transition metal-based antineoplastic agents. Recently, ...
Coupling Photodriven Multielectron Reduction Of Ruthenium Polypyridyl Complexes With Hydrogen Evolving Co-catalysts
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 2007-09-17)
With energy demands continuing to increase, the importance of finding a means of converting solar energy into a usable form of chemical energy continues to escalate. Photocatalysis provides a viable approach to harnessing ...
