The human genome is susceptible to change; base mismatches can arise from damaged DNA, replication errors, and spontaneous mutation, and have the potential to cause apoptosis, carcinogenesis, and mutagenesis. Many techniques have been developed for DNA mismatch detection, but many of these...

The work described in this thesis outlines the development of fluorescent and phosphorescent emitters based on the Group 15 elements, bismuth and phosphorus. Work began with the synthesis of a series of bismuth-containing heterocycles, termed bismoles and benzobismoles, via the copper(I)...

Silicon (Si) based nanomaterials have the potential to revolutionize the microelectronics industry by introducing desirable nanoscale properties into electronic components without compromising the material composition. They have also been proposed as a greener alternative for many Group III-V and...
