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 ...
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+, ...
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 ...
Oligomeric And Polymeric Bibenzimidazole Based Metal Complexes And Crosslinked Polyethylenimine Based Flame Retardants
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 2007-08-23)
In Part I, a simple and mild condensation route for the synthesis of novel bibenzimidazole oligomers and polymers is described using methyl 2,2,2-trichloroacetimidate as a key starting material. The dimer, trimer, tetramer, ...
Combustion Synthesis And Doping Of Titanium Dioxide
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 2007-09-19)
A novel combustion technique was used for the preparation and doping of titanium dioxide (TiO2). This metal oxide of titanium is a large band gap semiconductor (3.0 - 3.2 eV) that primarily absorbs in the ultraviolet ...
Novel Functions And Physiological Significance Of Ral Interacting Protein - RLIP76 In In Vitro And In Vivo Models
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 2007-08-23)
This dissertation is divided into four parts. The first part is an introduction of energy dependent xenobiotic transporters and their relevance in multidrug resistance. However, the main focuse is the description of RLIP76 ...
Investigation Of Ruthenium (II) Polypyridyl Dimers As Potential Chemotherapeutic Agents
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 2007-08-23)
The exploration of transition metal complexes as chemotherapeutic agents is still a relatively unexplored but promising area of research. Chapter 1 highlights the most successful anticancer drugs and potential drugs based ...
