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 ...
Tandem Reduction/Cyclization of o-Nitrophenyl Propargyl Alcohols--A Novel Synthesis of 2- & 2,4-Disubstituted Quinolines and Application to the Synthesis of Streptonigrin
(2008-05-23)
The quinoline ring system is a common structural component of a wide variety of natural products with highly desirable biological activity, including antimalarial agents such as quinine, chloroquine and mefloquine, as well ...
Living Coordinative Chain Transfer Polymerization of 1-Alkenes
(2008-12-05)
A novel polymerization method, living coordinative chain transfer polymerization (CCTP), was recently developed with monocyclopentadienyl monoamidinate (CpAm) Group 4 metal complexes, which were previously applied for the ...
Fundamentals of Excess Electron Transport in Biologically Relevant Systems
(2008-01-25)
Thymine dimers are premutagenic lesions that form via ultraviolet irradiation of DNA. While the distribution of thymine dimers is non-random, it is also not yet predictable. Thymine dimer accumulation is likely to be ...
Total Synthesis of (3R,3'R,6'R)-Lutein, (3R,3'R)-Zeaxanthin and Their Stereoisomers
(2008)
(3R,3'R,6'R)-Lutein (1) and (3R,3'R)-zeaxanthin (5) are dietary carotenoids that are found in most fruits and vegetables. Numerous studies have shown that 1 and 5 play an important role in the prevention of age-related ...
The Redox Chemistry of Dirhodium Carboxamidates: From Fundamental Structures to Catalytic Functions.
(2008-03-24)
Redox chemistry is the study of molecular structure and function associated with changes in oxidation state. In this manuscript, the structures and functions of dinuclear rhodium complexes in various oxidation states are ...
Preparation and Characterization of Carbohydrate-Functionalized Nanomaterials for Use as Cellular Probes and Targeted Delivery Vehicles
(2008)
Carbohydrates are the most abundant biomolecules found in living organisms. In addition to their roles such as fuel storage and structural components, carbohydrates encode molecular recognition information. Carbohydrates ...
