Investigation of CO2 capture systems, Lewis acid-base pairs, and oscillating reactions with electronic structure theory and kinetics-based approaches
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Equilibrium is a key theme in chemistry education. Starting in high school and continuing in freshman general chemistry courses, STEM students have to learn the foundations of equilibria. What is the key concept of an ...
Radioactive Au for potential radiotherapeutic application
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Radioactive gold-198/199 can be used in therapeutic radiopharmaceutical agents to combat cancer. In this thesis, two projects involving the development of radioactive gold-198/199 are described. The first project discusses ...
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( ...
Selection of small pretargeting peptides with affinity for radiochelates and separation and purification of radiolanthanides
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
The first objective of this dissertation was to develop metallated chelates with Michael acceptor groups for selecting small peptides from a random phage display library (RPL). The selection is for cysteine bearing peptides, ...
Synthesis and reactivity of low-valent uranium and neptunium complexes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Chapter 1 reports the synthesis and characterization of U(IV) and Np(IV) selenium bis(phenolate) complexes. The reaction of the U(IV) complex with half an equivalent of p-benzoquinone results in the formation of a U(V)--U(V) ...
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...
