Rhodium(II)-Stabilized Vinylcarbenes: Synthetic Applications in Ylide, Cyclopropanation, and C-H Insertion Reactions
(2006-12-07)
A previously unknown cascade reaction in which two units of a rhodium(II)-stabilized vinylcarbene obtained from methyl trans-styryldiazoacetate react with benzylideneaniline is described; the products of the cascade reaction ...
DEGENERATIVE TRANSFER LIVING ZIEGLER-NATTA POLYMERIZATION OF α-OLEFINS
(2005-12-04)
A degenerative transfer (DT) living Ziegler-Natta polymerization system based on the cyclopentadienyl amidinate zirconium complex, (h5-C5Me5)ZrMe2[N(t-Bu)C(Me)N(Et)] (19), has been studied in detail. Compound 19 is an ...
Synthesis and Characterization of oligosaccharides tethered to gold films and gold nanoparticles
(2004-12-07)
The goal of this research was to stereoselectively synthesize α- and β- linked glucopyranosylamide derivatives utilizing the modified Staudinger methodology and to tether these derivatives to gold films ...
Application of Silicon-Based Cross-Coupling Technology to Aryl Triflates
(2004-05-06)
The goal of this research was to explore the use of aryl silatranes as a replacement for aryl siloxanes in the palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction with aryl triflates. Phenylsilatrane underwent fluoride-induced ...
Lipophilic G-Quadruplexes: Structural Studies, Post-Assembly Modification, and Covalent Capture
(2006-08-29)
New nanostructures and functional materials are built through the self-assembly of guanosine. Both the size and regiochemistry of these noncovalent structures are controlled. Lipophilic G-quadruplexes are further stabilized ...
Investigation into the Driving Force Dependence of Excess Electron Transport in Duplex DNA
(2009)
The purpose of this dissertation is to investigate the driving force dependence of excess electron transport in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) using napthyl amines as electron donors.
The ability of DNA to act as a pathway ...
Efforts Toward Synthesis of Novel Analogs of the Bacterial Second-Messenger, c-di-GMP
(2009)
The formation of bacterial biofilms is a common mechanism for antibiotic resistance. It has been shown that bis-(3'-5')-cyclic dimeric guanosine monophosphate, c-di-GMP, plays a key role in bacterial biofilm formation; ...

Nor-Seco-Cucurbiturils
(2008-04-22)
With rapid growth in molecular recognition and self-assembly in recent years, α−, β−, and γ-cyclodextrins, as a platform for molecular recognition have been widely applied as molecular containers in water. In particular, ...
Photoinduced Electron Transfer in Ionic Media
(2008-12-08)
The goal of this research was to explore the use of room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) and ionic liquids crystals (ILCs) as reaction media for photoinduced electron transfer (PET) processes.
Photoinduced electron ...
