Cocrystallization of pyrogallol[4]arenes with target molecules
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Supramolecular chemistry, in its simplest and broadest description, is the chemistry of intermolecular interactions or chemistry of the noncovalent bond. Supramolecular...
Exploring chemical reaction complexity : application to hydrogen combustion
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
The aim of this research is to gain insight into hydrogen combustion as a prototype of complex chemistry via classical molecular dynamics (CMD) simulations given the presently available reactive force field, ReaxFF. We focus on developing...

Soil solution chemistry and nutrient flux in Ozark Highland forest soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Soil solution chemistry and nutrient flux may differ among soils due to differences in parent material, biota, landscape position, climate, and degree of weathering. Within soils, soil solution chemistry changes seasonally (e.g., leaf senescence...
Formal total synthesis of pseudopteroxale : progress toward total synthesis of hamigeran B
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
In the first chapter, a formal total synthesis of pseudopteroxazole is presented, highlightening an E-selective Horner-Emmons reaction, a Buchwald-Hartwig coupling, and a diastereoselective intramolecular Michael addition. In the second chapter...
11-amino-1 undecene-covered SI (100) and GE (100) surfaces
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and silicon/ germanium present at the semiconductor surface using Xray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS)....
Sythesis, characterization and reactivity of platinum (II) peroxo, alkoxide and triflate compunds
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The chemistry of a collection of platinum(II) compounds, including peroxo, alkoxide and triflate compounds, were synthesized and studied. This involved a rather wide range...
Variations in the amylolytic power and compostition of the saliva
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1910)
, as regards quantity, should be extended to include the composition and digestive properties of the secretions as well. In the present paper I shall present some results obtained from studying the variations in the amylolytic power and composition of the human...
Strategies for the attachment of organic functional groups to silicon surfaces and measurement of vapor pressure of ionic liquids
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
) and these results were presented and discussed. Ionic liquids represent a relatively new group of compounds that are thermally stable with very low vapor pressures. These unique properties enable ionic liquids to be used in a variety of applications. As the family...
Synthesis of fluorescent 7-amino-2,1-benzothiazines and total synthesis of buddledone A
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
slight improvement in fluorescent properties. In the second chapter, the total synthesis of buddledone A using ring-closing metathesis as a key step is presented. Efforts toward synthesis of zerumbone from buddledone A using several conditions were...
Fluorine-18 capture by substituted BODIPY derivatives
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
, and changes in peptide expression has been associated with cancer. However, molecular imaging does not presently have the tools required to monitor the entire class of peptides. In order to increase the scope of molecular imaging in regard to peptides, we have...
Geochemical studies of gold mineralizing events in the Discovery-Ormsby and Clan Lake areas of the Yellowknife Greenstone Belt, Northwest Territories, Canada
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Metavolcanic rocks of the mafic Discovery-Ormsby area and the intermediate to felsic Clan Lake area are sites of active gold exploration in the north end of the Yellowknife Greenstone Belt (YGB), Northwest Territories, Canada. The deposits present...
Investigation of the synthesis of water-soluble 1,3,5-trihydroxy-2,4,6- trimethylsulfonic acid benzene, its complexes with lanthanide cations and sulfonato-resorcin[4]arenes, and the study of gas storage in iodine doped p-tert-butylcalix[4]arenes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
fewer steps than that of the previous work. This compound also presents a novel tautomeric conformational change using NMR spectroscopy. Furthermore, the lanthanide (Sm, Eu, La, Ho, and Nd) complexes of 1 are isostructural and the packing...
Methylene condensations
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1909)
which contain the CO-CH2-CO. Group gave conflicting reactions, sometimes acting as if the group CO-CH2-CO- were present and at other times as if the group C(OH): CH-CO- were present....
Fluorescent chemosensors for the detection of biological amines
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
Chemical sensing has become an important field for the study of bioanalytes and provides key information pertaining to disease pathogenesis, and the physiological mechanisms underlying cellular processes. Discussed herein ...
Closomers at a click : a treatise on the design, synthesis and in vivo MRI of novel click closomers as high performance and efficacious contrast agents
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
-fold functionalization of closoB12(OH)12 2- with a varying range of Gd-chelates such as DTTA and AAZTA. This work also presents an extension of the azide-alkyne click chemistry to the closomer platform that generates an efficient tool for rapid and multifold...
Chemical and strutural properties of DNA-abasic site cross-links
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
Here, we report on the formation of DNA interstrand cross-links. These cross-links form from abasic sites, an endogenous type of DNA damage. We have utilized gel electrophoresis, NMR, mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography ...
ICP-MS analysis of fission product diffusion in graphite for high-temperature gas-cooled reactors
