The synthesis and characterization of 1,1'-disubstituted ferrocene imine Schiff base ligand systems for use as potential environmental heavy metal cationic sensors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Heavy metals in the environment such as Cd, Hg and Pb are toxic to life forms. They can enter the ecological system through both natural and industrial sources. By developing chemical sensors that can detect these metals, ...
The adsorption of environmental pollutants in gas and aqueous media utilizing nano-scale materials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
In this body of work, the synthesis and characterization of several nanoporous materials have been described, as well as the application of these materials towards environmentally positive means. Largely, this work involves ...
Comparison of hyperbranched and dendritic polymers with fluorescent reporter molecules
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Hyperbranched polymers containing a core region are a relatively new class of polymers with many similarities to dendrimers, including their proposed ...
(4+3)-cycloaddition chemists of oxidopyridinium ions and related study
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
The (4+3)-cycloaddition reaction is a cycloaddition between a 4-atom species and a 3-atom species to form a seven-membered ring. This reaction results in the formation of seven-membered rings. Our research expanded the ...
High valent uranium dioxo and imido complexes : synthesis and structure
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
and imido ancillary ligands in mono- and bimetallic complexes geared to elucidate the effects of ligand substitution and metal-metal communication on the 5f1 electronic configuration. Future directions and applications for each area are summarized....
Structural supramolecular constructs of spheres and tubes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
This thesis examines four different molecular systems that are in part or substrates for larger structural motifs that resemble spheres or tubes. The first project used donut shaped cucurbituril and through functionalization ...
Radioanalytical multi-elemental analysis : new methodology and archaeometric applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Several projects are covered in this dissertation: the application of instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) and rigorous statistical analyses to the sourcing of Egyptian limestone and Kenyan obsidian, and the ...
Design and synthesis of group 8 transition metal complexes for C-C bond forming valorization of carbon dioxide
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
The abundancy of carbon dioxide (CO2) in Earth's atmosphere combined with its inexpensive cost and low toxicity has made CO2 upconversion to value added products an area of intense interest in catalysis research. While a ...
Prospective radiolabled bombesin conjugates for prostate cancer imaging and therapeutic agents
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
An active area of prostate cancer research is in the synthesis of radiolabeled peptides for in vivo tumor imaging or therapy. This method is possible since specific receptors are expressed in high concentration on certain ...
