A General Route to meta-(Arylsulfanyl) and meta-(Alkylsulfanyl) Substituted Phenols and Synthetic Studies on Sorbicillactones A and B
DownloadSpring 2022
Chapter 1 describes a general route for making meta-(arylsulfanyl) and meta-(alkylsulfanyl) phenols using DBU assisted aromatization developed in this laboratory. Thismethod is general and enables the construction of the C-S bond without using high temperatures or transition metal catalyst. The...

Spring 2022
In predicting oil and gas recovery, researchers develop models primarily focusing on macro- or milli-scale flows by applying Navier-Stokes types solutions and no-slip boundary conditions. They compare or cross-check their models to known experimental results available in the literature for larger...

Binding Topologies of Amino Acid Binary Systems by Infrared Multiphoton Dissociation (IRMPD) Spectroscopy
DownloadSpring 2022
Studies of amino acids are essential because they are one of the building blocks of larger biomolecules, and it is crucial for us to understand how they interact with each other to fulfill all these various biological functions in our daily life. One interesting and noticeable fact from previous...

Spring 2022
Enhancing our understanding of the local structure and dynamics for different components within a biological system is key to unraveling their overall function. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has become an unparalleled technique for exploring both the structure and dynamics within...

Exploration of Microscopic Structure and Dynamics in Halide Perovskite and Perovskite−Inspired Materials with Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy
DownloadSpring 2022
The work presented in this thesis describes the synthesis, structure, and optical properties of three different classes of halide-based perovskite materials, namely, metal halide perovskites of ABX3 type, halide double perovskites of A2B'B"X6 type, and “vacancy-ordered perovskites” of A2BX6 type...

Spring 2022
Molecular self-assembly is the basis of structure in Nature. While of far less complexity than a natural system, the same physical rules apply to simple synthetic designed systems that spontaneously form self-assembled structures and patterns. The self-assembly of block copolymers (BCPs) is an...

Functional Genomics of Bacterial and Fungal Biocontrol Agents for Biotechnological Applications
DownloadSpring 2022
Microbial-based biotechnologies were developed using combinations of functional genomics, biochemical tools, and a tripartite pine tree-beetle-fungal infection model. Several bacterial and fungal species were probed for natural product biosynthesis potential using whole genome sequencing while...

Cooze, Christopher Joseph Craig
The metal-catalyzed addition of nucleophiles to electron-deficient alkenes represents one of the most useful tools for the construction of carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds. Of the methods that have been developed, the Rh-catalyzed conjugate addition of aryl and alkenyl boronic acids to...
