Chlorine and singlet oxygen photoelimination from organoplatinum(IV) complexes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] 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 ... -
Computational studies of five macromolecular systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] C-alkylpyrogallol[4]arenes have been studied by DFT computations and the results compared to experimental observations. Local minima of different ... -
Development of cancer targeted Nampt inhibitors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)The purpose of this research is the discovery of a highly potent pharmaceutical that can selectively cause apoptosis in various cancer cells. To utilize hydrophobic properties of carboranes, 1,7-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane ... -
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, ... -
Strategies for the attachment of organic functional groups to silicon surfaces and measurement of vapor pressure of ionic liquids
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Surface modifications of silicon surfaces have been studied for several decades. There are several approaches for attaching organic molecules with specific functionalities to these surfaces, utilizing both the selectivity ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
