Crystal engineering of supramolecular complexes based on pyrogallol[4]arenes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Crystal engineering primarily deals with the understanding of intermolecular interactions in the context of crystal packing and thus utilizes this information for the designing and development of novel crystalline solid ... -
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 ... -
Design and gas sorption study of c-alkylresorcin[n]arene-based cocrystals
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Supramolecular chemistry is the study of how to form complexes through molecular self-assembly and intermolecular bonding. Our research group has been ... -
Investigating reaction conditions for controlling the self-assembly of metal-seamed pyrogallol[4]arene nanocapsules
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Upon coordination to metal ions, C-alkylpyrogallol[4]arenes (PgCn, where n is the number of carbon atoms in the pendant alkyl chains), can be assembled ... -
The investigation of the self-assemblies of pyrogallol [4] arenes with large metal ions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)Supramolecular chemistry involves the study of the non-covalent interactions between molecules. Host molecules such as C-pyrogallol[4]arenes form complexes via these supramolecular interactions. Pyrogallol[4]arenes are ... -
Investigation of the synthesis of water-soluble 1,3,5-trihydroxy-2,4,6- trimethylsulfonic acid benzene, its complexes with lanthanide cations and sulfonato-resorcin[4]arenes, and the study of gas storage in iodine doped p-tert-butylcalix[4]arenes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)The design of new calixarene derivatives based on supramolecular principles -- the formation of molecules, ions, or complex ions with the weak non-covalent interactions to form a larger moiety with applicable properties ... -
Molecular organic solids for gas adsorption and solid-gas interaction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This following dissertation comprises three closely related sets of studies in order to explore the potential of molecular organic solids as a new ... -
Novel macrocyclic compounds as building blocks in supramolecular chemistry
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)Resorcinarenes and pyrogallolarenes have been widely used as building blocks for novel synthetic receptors and supramolecular self-assemblies. To explore new chemistry of these compounds, new substituted macrocyclic arenes ... -
Self-assembly of functional metal-seamed pyrogallol[4]arene nanocapsules
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)C-alkylpyrogallol[4]arenes (PgCns, where n is the represents pendant alkyl chain lengths), bowl-shaped macrocycles, upon deprotonation, can self-assemble with metal ions into dimeric (M8L2) and hexameric (M24L6) metal-organic ... -
Solvatochromic pyrogallarenes and pyrogallarene crystals
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)Pyrogallarenes have the ability to self-assemble into a variety of structures. Crystal forms ranging from bilayers to dimers and hexamers have been isolated. One unique cocrystal, PgC[subscript 3]-(CH[subscript 3])[subscript ... -
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 ... -
Synthesis and characterization of host-guest complexes : metal-organic nanocapsules using aryl-substituted pyrogallol[4]arenes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)The desire to synthesize and control self-assembly of molecular nanocapsules has long been a focus within the supramolecular community due to the nanocapsules' potential applications as tools for encapsulation and delivery ... -
Synthesis of mixed metal-organic pyrogallol[4]arene nanocapsules and their host-guest chemistry
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The formation of nanometer scale capsule (or capsule-like) assemblies continues to attract interest due to the potential application of such architectures ... -
