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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
