Development of photodissociation methods for biomolecule analysis in a quadupole ion trap mass spectrometer
(2008-05)
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 ...
Precursor design for materials applications
(2011-12)
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. ...
Novel reactivity of materials from porphyrins, and highly conjugated scaffolds
(2018-04-12)
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 ...
Formation of C-C bonds via transfer hydrogenation : from methodology development to natural product synthesis
(2013-08)
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 ...
Studies directed towards the synthesis of secu'amamine A
(2009-08)
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 ...
Underpotential deposition as a synthetic and characterization tool for core@shell dendrimer-encapsulated nanoparticles
(2011-08)
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 ...
Photophysics of perylene diimides in solutions and self-assembled films
(2006)
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 ...
On the role of concept mapping assessments in today's constructivist classroom
(2005-12)
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 ...
The development of a microbead array for the detection and amplification of nucleic acids
(2006)
The focus of this doctoral thesis is on the development of a chip-based
sensor array, composed of individually addressable agarose micro-beads, that is
suitable for the real-time detection of DNA oligonucleotides. This ...
Synthesis of [beta]-heteroaryl propionates via trapping of carbocations with [pi]-nucleophiles, efforts towards the total synthesis of acutumine, and the design, synthesis, and thermodynamics of protein-ligand interactions at the Src SH2 domain
(2013-12)
Heterocyclic alcohols were coupled with [pi]-nucleophiles in the presence of trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate to provide a variety of substituted [beta]-heteroaryl propionates, including those with contiguous ...
