Conducting metallopolymers (CMPs) have been extensively studied due to their potential for various applications in sensing, catalysis, light-emitting diodes, and energy harvesting and storage. The incorporation of metal ...

Herein we describe the synthesis of (±) platensimycin, a potent antibiotic against gram-positive bacteria. The first chapter reviews (±) platensimycin’s isolation, biological profile and previously reported studies relevant ...

Photodissociation methods have been implemented and compared to collision-induced dissociation (CID) in a quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometer for the structural analysis of peptides, proteins, oligosaccharides, DNA and ...

The importance of platinum group metals for catalytic and microelectronic applications has prompted research into the development of novel molecular precursors for chemical vapor deposition of thin films of these metals. ...

The study of photo responsive compounds is of immense importance to many fields of chemistry and materials development. As the need for green chemistry grows, light is an ever more attractive reagent. Light functions as a ...

Under the conditions of transfer hydrogenation employing ortho-cyclometallated iridium C,O-benzoate catalysts, selective silylallylation and CF₃-allylation were developed. In both cases, high levels of catalyst-directed ...

Herein is described our synthetic studies towards the synthesis of secu'amamine A, a member of the Securinega alkaloids. The first chapter describes the isolation, biological significance and previous synthesis of secu'amamine ...

The synthesis and characterization of Pt core/ Cu shell (Pt@Cu) dendrimer-encapsulated nanoparticles (DENs) having full and partial Cu shells deposited via electrochemical underpotential deposition (UPD) is described. Pt ...

New perylene diimide based dendrimers were synthesized by the divergent synthetic method. Diamines with different lengths and methyl acrylate (or t-butyl acrylate) were used as the extension regents for the dendrimer ...

The purpose of this study was to explore the use of concept map assessments in freshman level general chemistry courses. Two strategies were employed in this study. The first strategy involved the creation of a web based ...
