The benign synthesis of bioactive heterocycles using photochemistry and hydrogen peroxide with hydrohalic acids
(2016-07-08)
Chapter 1 provides a pertinent review of recent photochemical homolytic aromatic substitution (HAS) literature. Photochemical methods for HAS include UV-light and visible light photoredox catalysis. Recently invented methods ...
The Effects of Electron-Withdrawing Ring Substituents on the Reactivity of Cyclopentadienyl Ruthenium Complexes
(2011-09-09)
This thesis describes the synthesis of ruthenium complexes which contain
cyclopentadienyl ligands with electron-withdrawing ring substituents and the effects of
these substituents on the reactivity of the metal centre. ...
DNA hybridisation detection on chemically modified electrodes with bioelectrocatalytic amplification of signal
(2011-12-22)
Electrochemical detection of DNA hybridization is a viable alternative to optical and radio-labelled techniques. The benefits of using biosensors based on electrochemical systems are: high sensitivity, possible development ...
Low Temperature Fluorescence Studies of Crude Petroleum Oils
(2011)
We have studied the low-temperature (133-298 K) fluorescence emission of crude petroleum oils using a combination of steady-state and time-resolved measurements. This was done, first, to see if we could generate linear ...
Prediction of Cell Culture Media Performance Using Fluorescence Spectroscopy
(2010)
Cell culture media used in industrial mammalian cell culture are complex aqueous solutions that are inherently difficult to analyze comprehensively. The analysis of media quality and variance is of utmost importance in ...
Additive tuning redox potential in metallacarboranes by sequencial halogen substitution
(Wiley, 2010-04-21)
The first artificially made set of electron acceptors is presented that are derived from a unique platform Cs[3,3′-Co(C2B9H11)2], for which the redox potential of each differs from its predecessor by a fixed amount. The ...
A discrete P⋅⋅⋅I I⋅⋅⋅P assembly: the large influence of weak interactions on the 31P NMR Spectra of Phosphane–Diiodine Complexes
(Wiley, 2006-02-06)
Seeing I to I: The reaction of a weakly coordinating carboranyl phosphane ligand with I2 leads to the formation of an adduct containing the bridging P⋅⋅⋅I[BOND]I⋅⋅⋅P assembly in the solid state (see picture; I purple, P ...
A convenient synthetic route to useful monobranched polyethoxylated halogen terminated [3,3 -Co(1,2-C2B9H11)2]- synthons
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2009-11-15)
An atom efficient and environmentally friendly route has been developed to obtain a new range of reagents in metallacarborane chemistry having monobranched polyethoxylated cobaltabisdicarbollide synthons.
Chemical, electrochemical and photochemical catalytic oxidation of water to dioxygen with mononuclear ru complexes
(Wiley, 2011-01-27)
Four new RuII[BOND]Cl and RuII[BOND]H2O complexes containing the meridional 2,2’:6’,2”-terpyridine (trpy) ligand and the chelating 2-(5-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine (H3p) ligand of general formula in- and out-[RuII(tr ...
Experimental and kinetic modeling study of the shock tube ignition of a large oxygenated fuel: tri-propylene glycol mono-methyl ether
(Elsevier, 2015-05-13)
Tri-propylene glycol monomethyl ether (TPGME) is an important oxygenated fuel additive that can be used to reduce soot in diesel engines. However, a validated chemical kinetic model that incorporates the low- to high-temperature ...
