Anisotropic organic materials : ferroelectric crystals and spin-polarized radicals
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Anisotropic organic materials are attracting increasing interesting for their highly electro-optic characteristics. We are especially interested in ... -
Deantiaromatization as a driving force in an electrocyclization of cyclopentadienone and the total synthesis of 1-epi-esco-pseudopteroxazole
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)Deantiaromatization has been successfully demonstrated as a driving force in an electrocyclization of cyclopentadienones. The reaction was found to be general for a number of substrates and provides a unique way to access ... -
Determination of total selenium and seleno-amino acids in yeast and aquatic organisms by liquid chromatography and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)The primary goal of this dissertation research was to develop methods for routine speciation analysis of selenium in tissues. A method for total selenium using on-line stable isotope dilution analysis with conventional ... -
Diels-alder reactions of a cyclopentadienone derivative
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)An ester derivative of cyclopentadienone, a very reactive species, was generated from methyl-2-bromo-3-oxocyclopent-1-enecarboxylate (96) which dimerized instantaneously and decarbonylated to generate an indanone (97). ... -
Energy transfer at gas-liquid interface : towards energetic materials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)Physicochemical surface processes have great importance in the different fields of everyday life and science. Computational characterization of collisional energy transfer at a gasliquid interface is a helpful tool to ... -
From carbon to copper : studies of novel nanomaterials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)Nanomaterials are materials on the order of 10-9 m that are currently being investigated for use in a wide range of applications in the growing field of nanotechnology. This dissertation documents the synthesis, characterization, ... -
Separation and identification of peptides by integrated multidimensional liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (IMDLC-MS)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Integrated multidimensional liquid chromatography (IMDLC) is an innovative method used for separation of tryptic peptides. In this method a two-component ... -
Studies on radiometal chelator-bombesin peptide-based radiopharmaceuticals for tumor GRP-receptor subtype mediated radioimaging
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Bombesin-like peptides bind to gastrin-releasing peptide receptor subtype 2 (BB2) with significantly high binding affinity and specificity. In an ... -
Synthesis and structure-activity relationship of a series of sigma receptor ligands
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)Sigma receptors are involved in several biological processes, and sigma ligands might be promising as cancer treatment agents, cocaine abuse medicines, and valuable psychiatric drugs. In an attempt to elucidate effectual ...
