Synthesis, Characterization and Biological Studies of the Phospholipid Coated Gold Nanoparticles (GNPs)
DownloadFall 2013
Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) have been applied as diagnostic and therapeutic agents because they can be targeted, localized, and be heated to cause cell death. However, their use has been limited by their relatively low biocompatibility. In this work, we coated the GNPs surface by a biocompatible...

Spring 2015
Silicon nanocrystals (SiNCs) have been suggested as promising candidates for bioimaging because of their abundance, biocompatibility, and stable photoluminescent properties. However, “naked” SiNCs are insoluble in water and very reactive. As a result, NC surface functionalization is necessary to...

Synthesis, Structure and Properties of a Novel “Frustrated” Benzoxaborole and the Role of Boron in Bioconjugation
DownloadSpring 2020
Chapter 2 describes an optimized 7-step successful synthesis of a first of its kind permanently open-form ortho-hydroxyalkyl arylboronic acid, otherwise known as a “frustrated benzoxaborole”, with a columnless purification and complete structure elucidation. This novel compound is completely...

Synthesis, structures and reactions of hydrotris(pyrazolyl)borate complexes of divalent and trivalent lanthanides
DownloadFall 2009
The synthesis and reactions of hydrotris(pyrazolyl)borate, (TpR,R′) supported ytterbium(II) borohydride and lanthanide(III) dialkyl (Ln = Yb, Lu) complexes were investigated. The lanthanide(III) dialkyl complexes were found to undergo both hydrogenolysis reaction and protonolysis reaction with...

Synthesis, Surface Functionalization of Germanium Nanoparticles, and Their Application in Polymer Hybrid Solar Cells
DownloadSpring 2020
Germanium nanoparticles (GeNPs) have immense potential in various applications, such as opto-electronics, batteries, bioimaging, etc. Germanium has a small band gap (0.67 eV in bulk), large exciton Bohr radius (~24 nm), high absorption coefficient (ca. 2.0 × 105 cm 1 at 2 eV), and high carrier...
