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. ...
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 ...
Anisotropic organic materials : ferroelectric crystals and spin-polarized radicals
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
,4-diphenyl-1,3-butadiene is analyzed with various methods. Toward quasienantiomeric non-linear crystals, 1- methyl-1,3,6-triphenyl-7-(E-2-phenylpropenyl)-1,2-dihydronaphthalene is probed in molecular interactions, synthesis, and chiral separation. In Chapter...
Deantiaromatization as a driving force in an electrocyclization of cyclopentadienone and the total synthesis of 1-epi-esco-pseudopteroxazole
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Deantiaromatization has been successfully demonstrated as a driving force in an electrocyclization of cyclopentadienones. The reaction was found to be general for a number of substrates and provides a unique way to access ...
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 because they are mutagenic...
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 ...
