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 ... -
A two-fold approach towards understanding properties of two self-assembled macrocycles: resorcin[4]arene and pyrogallol[4]arene
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Self-assembled macrocycles, molecular entities that are connected together spontaneously in a cyclic manner, are studied herein. Pyrogallol[4]arene (PgC) and resorcin[4]arene (RsC), self-assembled macrocycles made from ... -
Monitoring membrane protein structural changes and interactions via deep UV resonance Raman spectroscopy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Membrane proteins perform a variety of functions within our cells. They transport nutrients and waste across the lipid barrier, transmit signals from one part of the body to another, and run our immune system. However, ... -
The [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of propargylic sulfonates to allenic sulfones and further applications to oxacycles and dihydrofuranones
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)The scope of [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of propargylic sulfinates to allenic sulfones by silver catalysis was expanded. A series of new propargylic sulfinate esters was generated from a variety of aromatic and ... -
Energy transfer and gas diffusion at gas-liquid interfaces
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)The interactions of gasses and liquids play an important role in many systems in chemistry. Gas-liquid surface scattering techniques are a useful tool towards the investigation of energy transfer resulting from gas-liquid ... -
Kinetics and mechanisms associated with redox regulation of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Here, we report on the kinetics and mechanisms associated with redox regulation of the protein tyrosine phosphatase PTP1B. We determined rates of thiol- and phosphinemediated recovery of catalytic activity from the ... -
Structural and functional studies of proline catabolic enzymes and human aldehyde dehydrogenases
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Oxidation of amino acids, like proline catabolism, is a central part of energy metabolism. Proline is oxidized to glutamate by two enzymes: proline dehydrogenase (PRODH) and 1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate dehydrogenase (P5CDH). ... -
Synthesis and reactivity of copper(i) amidinate complexes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Group 11 transition metals are used daily throughout our bodies and as additives in many common products. One biological function of copper, a group 11 metal, is its use in the CuA site of cytochrome c oxidase, an enzyme ... -
Arsenic for potential diagnostic imaging and radiotherapy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Targeted agents hold promise for non-invasive in vivo imaging, therapy, and monitoring of diseases. Foundational work focused on imaging and therapy of cancer has centered primarily on the use of 18F, 90Y, 99mTc, and 131I ... -

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 ... -
Chemical and strutural properties of DNA-abasic site cross-links
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)Here, we report on the formation of DNA interstrand cross-links. These cross-links form from abasic sites, an endogenous type of DNA damage. We have utilized gel electrophoresis, NMR, mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography ... -
[2,3]-Sigmatropic rearrangement of propargylic sulfinates ; Regiodivergent synthesis of 1- and 2 arylsulfonyl 1,3-dienes, and III. Synthesis of Troger's base-derived ligands
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)The [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of propargylic sulfinates to allenic sulfones was studied under both silver and copper catalysis. Metal salts having non-coordinating anions were effective at promoting the rearrangement. ...
