Development of New Late-Stage Labeling Methods with Labeled Carbon for Stabilized Carboxylic Acids and α-Amino Acids
DownloadFall 2023
Isotope labeling of small molecules is a crucial tool for drug discovery and understanding biochemical processes. Expanding the toolbox of a radiochemist with methods that allow late-stage labeling is therefore important. Of the methods that have been developed, the use of isotopically labeled...

Chiral Transition Metal Complexes under Resonance: Mechanism of a New Form of Chiral Raman Spectroscopy
DownloadFall 2023
My PhD thesis primarily focuses on exploring chiroptical events and signatures of chiral transition metal complexes when they are under (near) resonance conditions. To achieve this goal, multiple chiroptical spectroscopic techniques were utilized, aided by theoretical calculations. These...

Investigation of Halogen Bond Interactions of Chiral Molecules Using Infrared, Vibrational Circular Dichroism, NMR, UV-vis Spectroscopy and Density Functional Theory Calculations
DownloadFall 2023
This PhD thesis shows the application of different spectroscopic and theoretical tools to probe the extent and possible interaction between various Lewis acids (halogen bond donor) and Lewis bases (halogen bond acceptors). Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) that is the chiral version of...
