Synthesis and applications of tungsten and vanadium oxides/oxyhydroxides in both bulk and nanoparticulate forms
(2016-12)
The reactions of tungstic acid towards alkenes, alkynes, and nitriles were explored in order to determine the scope of its reactions with unsaturated hydrocarbons. The chemistry was found to be complex with small changes ...
Synthesis, reactivity, and catalytic studies of transition metal complexes of chelating cyclic and acyclic diaminocarbene ligands
(2008-12)
Since the first report of a stable diaminocarbene by Arduengo in 1991, carbene ligands have been widely explored in organometallic chemistry due to their favorable features in catalysis. In order to find broad applications ...
Novel syntheses and applications of layered transition metal hydroxides
(2022-07)
The dissertation herein reports the serendipitous discovery of hydrolysis reactions of later 3d transition metal acetates that deposit nanostructured thin films of corresponding layered metal hydroxides, M(OAc)2-x(OH)x·nH2O ...
Structure and functional characterization of the pheromone binding protein 2 from Ostrinia furnacalis
(2021-05)
Animal olfaction has an immense impact on their survival. The insect olfactory system is the most exquisitely sensitive in the animal kingdom. Moth antennae contain hair-like structures called sensilla, which are involved ...
Neutral monolithic capillary columns with alkyl and aryl ligands for reversed-phase capillary electrochromatography
(2010-07)
Scope and Method of Study:
Expression, purification, NMR structure, and molecular dynamics studies of Ost4 and Ost4V23D: A critical subunit of yeast oligosaccharyltransferase
(2021-05)
N-linked glycosylation is an essential and highly conserved protein modification reaction that takes place in all eukaryotes and some prokaryotes. This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme complex, oligosaccharyltransferase ...
Simultaneous spectrophotometric and chemometric determination of cholesterol and mono-/polyunsaturated fatty acids
(2012-05)
Scope and Method of Study: The ultimate goal of this research project was to complete the development of a simple, direct alternative method for the simultaneous quantitative determination of cholesterol and polyunsaturated ...
Self-assembled polymer nanocomposites and their networks
(2013-12)
This dissertation describes new routes to synthesize polymer nanocomposite networks via self-assembly. Polymerizable structure directing agents (referred to as surfmers) obtained by end-group functionalization preserves ...
