Synthethic pathways to multiple surface functionalization of polyhedral boranes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The chemistry of dodecahydro--closo--dodecaborate(2-), closo-[B12H12]2-, and decahydro-closo-decaborate(2-), [B10H10]2-, with different organic substituents was investigated...
Determination and analysis of multiphoton excitation emissive species.: I,: Emission of PAHS in acidic medium,: II,: Multiphoton emission of possible PDT agents
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The exploitation of ultrafast laser properties has been recently increasing. Recent research in this lab demonstrated the ability of femtosecond pulses to give two photons...
Metabolically activated heterocyclic N-oxide compounds for killing and visualizing hypoxic cancer cells
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Tirapazamine (TPZ) is currently undergoing a variety of phase I, II, and III clinical trials for the treatment of various human cancers. TPZ derives its medicinal activity by inducing DNA damage in poorly oxygenated tumor ...
Design and construction of multicomponent spheroidal assemblies on the nano-scale via the self-assembly approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Supramolecular chemists can be thought of as the architects of the nano-scale world. We are primary concerned with the design and construction of various nanostructures based...
A study of bacterial cellulose confined ionic liquid and deep eutectic solvent gel materials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI--COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Pollutants have become more prevalent in the air, water, and ground, necessitating the development of technologies that would help, limit, reverse, monitor, measure...
Computational studies of three chemical systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
The subject of this dissertation is the use of electronic structure calculations to examine and supplement the experimental observations of three different chemical systems. Both ab initio and DFT methods have been employed. ...
Investigating the bifunctional chelate approach for radiopharmaceutical development
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Radiopharmaceuticals are drugs that contain a radioactive atom for the purpose of imaging or therapy of disease. The type of emission determines the applicability for each drug...
Strategies for metal colloidal nancrystal synthesis in sustainable media
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Over the past decades, the Green Chemistry and Sustainability concept has aroused researchers to denounce their traditional ways of thinking regarding chemical processes...
Anion and solvent influences on the self-assembly of copper(I) coordination solids
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
The investigation of solvent and anion influences on the self-assembly of copper(I) coordination solids are presented. As these extended solids vary in structural design as reactions conditions are varied, both those ...
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 ...
Radionuclide production and separation techniques for radiopharmaceutical development and nuclear waste processing
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] With increasing cancer incident rates and advancements in nuclear medicine, the demand for optimizing pathways to produce radionuclides or investigating new radionuclides...
High valent uranium dioxo and imido complexes : synthesis and structure
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Early actinide elements have attracted considerable attention in recent years due to the need for rigorous advancements in spent nuclear fuel recycling and remediation technologies, and for their emerging versatility in ...
