Ammonia elimination from protonated nucleobases
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)The dediazoniations of the diazonium ion 1 of 4-aminopyrimidine and of the tautomeric cytosinediazonium ions 2 and 3 are facile and result in the formations of cations 4, 5, and 6. The pyrimidine ring-opening of 4, 5 and ... -
Aza-analogues of distyrylbenzene (DSB) synthesis, structures, and properties of 1,4-phenylenediamine bisimines (PDABI)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The drive for electo-optically active materials was officially initiated in 1966 with the publishing, by NASA, of a 137 page report. The "Electro-optic ... -
Mechanistic and computational studies of ferroin, simple organic acids, and bromine oxides : elucidating the complex electrochemical dance in an oscillating reaction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Before the year 1950, many chemists in their 'right mind' held the archaic belief that all chemical reactions proceed strictly from reactants to products, though some could be coaxed into reverse. What we now know colloquially ... -
Toward polar 1,4-diphenylbutadiene materials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2004)The fast response time of [pi]-electrons makes organic materials increasing interesting as highly anisotropic materials. We are especially interested in dipole parallel-aligned crystals because of the much higher chromophore ... -
Variable-temperature [superscript 1]H-NMR and AB initio study of 5-amino-imidazole-4-carboxamide (AICA) : competing paths for amide-H scrambling
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)5(4)-aminoimidazole-4(5)-carboxamide (AICA and TAICA) is an important precursor for the synthesis of purines in general and of the nucleobases adenine and guanine in particular. Biotic nucleobase synthesis has been studied ...
