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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Conformational studies on adenine formation and spin properties of bio-related radicals
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] This dissertation summarizes a few different projects I have contributed to in Dr. Glaser's group during the past five years. The first part is chapter ... -
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 ... -
Nitrosative guanosine deamination : pyrimidine ring opening implications of effects in homogeneous solution as well as anisotropic environments
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In recent years a great deal of interest has been focused on the exposure to nitrous acid (HNO2), nitric oxide (NO) and other nitrosating species ... -
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 ...
