Crossed-beam chemical reaction dynamics probed with universal and state resolved ion imaging
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
The main goal of chemical reaction dynamics is to unravel the intimate motions of individual atoms during a chemical transformation. This information must generally be inferred from indirect macroscopic measurement. Very ...
Probing synthesis of L-ascorbic acid in Arabidopsis thaliana genotypes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
L-Ascorbic acid (L-AsA), also known as vitamin C, is a crucial vitamin for both plants and animals due to its antioxidant properties and abilities to scavenge harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, some animals ...
Palladium nanoparticles encapsulated with resveratrol-derived phenols and polyphenols for targeted prostate cancer therapy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
The main goal of this dissertation was to explore the development of a new generation of green nanoformulations through the production of biocompatible palladium nanoparticles using resveratrol to treat, image and evaluate ...
Spectroscopic studies of transmembrane helical peptides and LC-MS/MS method development and validation for PFAS quantitation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Water hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) to [alpha]-helical transmembrane (TM) peptides is fundamental to understanding the behavior and function of [alpha]-helical peptides, disease pathways, and the development of new drugs. ...
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 ...
LC-MS/MS method development for quantitative analysis of cyanogenic glycosides in elderberry and lipid peroxidation products in mice
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Cyanogenic glycosides (CNGs) are naturally occurring plant molecules (nitrogenous plant secondary metabolites) which consist of an aglycone and a sugar moiety. Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) is released from these compounds following ...
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 ...
2,1-Benzothiazines : preparation and reactivity
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
The synthesis of chiral ligands to tune the reactivity and stereoselectivity of many catalytic asymmetric reactions has been given considerable attention in synthetic organic chemistry over the past decade. This report ...
Nitrosative guanosine deamination : pyrimidine ring opening implications of effects in homogeneous solution as well as anisotropic environments
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In recent years a great deal of interest has been focused on the exposure to nitrous acid (HNO2), nitric oxide (NO) and other nitrosating species ...
Synthesis and reactivity of actinide phosphorano-stabilized carbene and phosphido complexes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Nuclear power plants have been operated in the United States for over 60 years, generating over 800 terawatt-hours of energy per year. However, there is still no reliable process to recycle the spent nuclear fuel. This ...
Technetium and rhenium schiff base complexes for nuclear medicine
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
This dissertation investigates the synthesis of rhenium and technetium Schiff base complexes for potential applications in nuclear medicine. In Chapter 2, a series of mixed ligand Re(III) complexes of the form trans-[Re( ...
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, ...
