Supramolecular Chemistry Of Nitrogen Dioxide
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 2007-08-23)
Supramolecular chemistry has been defined as "chemistry beyond molecules", and involves investigating molecular systems held together reversibly by inter-molecular forces, not by covalent bonds. This dissertation discusses ...
Supramolecular Nanostructures Based On Calixarenes
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 2007-08-23)
This dissertation describes a systematic approach towards the design, synthesis, characterization, and application of calixarene-based supramolecular nanostructures. Chapter 1 briefly overviews the field of supramolecular ...
Studies Toward The Enantioselective Total Synthesis Of The Martinella Alkaloids
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 2007-08-23)
This dissertation consists of two parts. The first part describes the enantioselective total synthesis of martinellic acid. The Martinella alkaloids have attracted considerable attention in the synthetic community over the ...
New Applications Of The Pauson-Khand Reaction And Studies Towards The Synthesis Of The Hamigerans
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 2007-09-17)
This dissertation is divided into two parts. The first part describes the dicobalt octacarbonyl mediated synthesis of medium sized rings via intramolecular Pauson-Khand (IMPK) reaction. The cyclization of 1,8-enynes has ...
Novel Approaches To Photoassisted Deposition Of Semiconductors And Nanocomposite Materials
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 2007-08-23)
This dissertation research begins with the use of TiO2-based photocatalysis for the reduction of metal ions with very negative reduction potentials. The indirect photocatalytic reduction of four metal ions: Cd2+, Zn2+, ...
Ral Interacting Protein (Ralbp1): Linking Glutathione Conjugate Transport To Oxidative Stress Defenses And Signaling Pathways
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 2008-08-08)
The glutathione-conjugate transporter protein DNP-SG ATPase was demonstrated to be identical to the independently cloned Ral-effector, Ralbp1. Glutathione-conjugate transport is linked to substrate-stimulated ATPase activity, ...
Calix[4]arene-based Synthetic Nanotubes
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 2007-08-23)
Nanoscale science and technology represents a tremendous opportunity to gain unprecedented insight into the unique phenomena that exists at the nanometer scale, and to use that knowledge to develop materials and devices ...
Synthetic Studies And Biological Evaluation Of Imidazole-containing Marine Alkaloids
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 2008-08-08)
This dissertation discusses the synthetic methods towards and the preliminary biological studies of an unnamed, imidazole-containing alkaloid, derived from the marine species Oceanapia. This alkaloid was first discovered ...
Oligomeric And Polymeric Bibenzimidazole Based Metal Complexes And Crosslinked Polyethylenimine Based Flame Retardants
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 2007-08-23)
In Part I, a simple and mild condensation route for the synthesis of novel bibenzimidazole oligomers and polymers is described using methyl 2,2,2-trichloroacetimidate as a key starting material. The dimer, trimer, tetramer, ...
Ralbp1 In Stress Resistance
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 2008-08-08)
Ralbp1 is a multi-specific transporter of glutathione conjugates as well as unconjugated amphiphilic toxins. Because glutathione conjugates are major metabolites of toxic lipid peroxidation products generated as a consequence ...
