Nuclear forensic applications of uranium oxide chemistry and morphology
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)The entire nuclear fuel cycle is a chemistry-intensive process, from accessing the raw materials from ore, to enriching and forming the fuels, to the eventual long-term disposition or reprocessing of the spent fuel. This ... -
Fluorescent sensors for the detection of glucosamine and thiaminase
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Fluorescence chemical sensing is a highly important tool in science and industry with many applications in pharmaceutical screening, cell respiration, biological process control as well as biological isolation. Discussed ... -
Gold-coated lanthanide phosphate nanoparticles for targeted radiotherapy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)The success of a targeted radiotherapy system depends on its ability to carry and deliver its radioactive payload to a specific site. Lanthanide phosphate nanoparticles are highly stable in a variety of solvents. By ... -
A study of interpolating moving least-squares method on fitting potential energy surface
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Interpolating moving least-squares method (IMLS) is a highly accurate fitting method. There are a lot of studies on how to use IMLS to fit potential energy surfaces (PESs). However, there are still only few IMLS-fitted ... -
Technetium and Rhenium (I and V) complexes for radiopharmaceutical applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Technetium and rhenium have radioactive isotopes that are clinically useful for diagnostic (Tc-99m) or therapeutic (Re-186/188) purposes. This makes them attractive candidates for incorporation into pharmaceuticals. One ... -
Small molecule-based approaches toward elucidation of structure and properties of abasic site-derived interstrand DNA crosslinks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Damage to DNA is both a naturally occurring and environmentally induced process that can have serious biological consequences, such as mutation and cancer. The interstrand crosslink is a particularly harmful form of DNA ... -
Surface chemistry studies of carbon dioxide with magnesium oxide and titanium dioxide
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)There is significant interest in methods to aid in the removal of carbon dioxide from our environment. The methods range from sequestration to catalytic transformations. In sequestration, CO2 is collected from emission ... -
The use of polyhedral derivatives as molecular electronic scaffolds
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Electronic devices, such as cell phones and computer chips, are becoming smaller in size and more complex in their abilities. Currently, engineering the construction of smaller electronic components that have sufficient ... -

Molecular dynamics simulations of the shock response of the energetic materials pentaerythritol tetranitrate and hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-s-triazine
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Energetic materials are the key active ingredients in explosive formulations. Understanding the response of energetic materials is vital for the design of safe and reliable explosives. It is a challenge to experimentally ... -
Synthesis, characterization and photophysical studies of cyclometalated Au(III) complexes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)We report here a series of room temperature emissive biphenyl cyclometalated gold (III) diethyl dithiocarbamate complexes (DEDT) having H, CF3, OMe and tBu substitutions on the biphenyl moiety. Synthesis of these complexes ... -
Chlorine and singlet oxygen photoelimination from organoplatinum(IV) complexes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Solar energy is the most promising carbon neutral energy source for the future. Splitting of simple molecules like HX (X = Cl, Br) has become an attractive way to convert and store solar energy. Halogen photoelimination ... -
