The investigation of the self-assemblies of pyrogallol [4] arenes with large metal ions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
on the interactions of pyrogallol[4]arene ligands with large metal ions. Interaction of C-ethylpyrogallol[4]arene with calcium ions led to the formation of two unprecedented dodecameric nanocapsules in the solid state with a large internal volume. Interaction of C...
Sustainable chemical approaches to two-dimensional nanosheets and mesoporous platforms and catalysts
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
and biological applications. As a two-dimensional material, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has drawn wide attention due to its fascinating properties and exciting application prospects. However, in order to access these properties, which lie within single- or few...
Investigation of the thermostability and activity of biomolecules in bio-friendly deep eutectic solvents
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
The solvent environment of a biomolecule is critical to its optimal performance in various scenarios, including biocatalysis, drug delivery, therapeutics, and biosensing. This dissertation mainly discusses the implementation ...
An evaluation of the need for critically refined purification procedures in fluorescent carbon dot syntheses : the ramifications of the ubiquitous presence of reaction by-products on quenchometric and light harvesting applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Fluorescent carbon dots constitute a novel and intriguing class of nanocarbons that display unique optical properties and can be purportedly generated from virtually any carbon-containing source. For example, the thermal ...
A study of bacterial cellulose confined ionic liquid and deep eutectic solvent gel materials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
, and recycle prevalent pollutants. Ionic liquids (ILs), or molten salts that are liquid at or below 100[degrees]C, as well as deep eutectic solvents (DESs), a mixture of a hydrogen bond donor with a strong hydrogen bond acceptor that remains liquid upon cooling...
