A Study On Interactions Between Metal-Organic Frameworks And Biological Materials, Josh Phipps
A Study On Interactions Between Metal-Organic Frameworks And Biological Materials, Josh Phipps
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Metal-organic frameworks or MOFs are an extremely useful tool in many areas of applications. Their popularity in recent years has arisen from their high efficiency in catalytic chemical reactions. This is made possible due to their porous interior and the ability of the MOFs components to be functionalized. These same traits make MOFs excellent for use in protein encapsulation or immobilization and have the potential to become excellent drug carriers. Their development in this utilization has been limited dramatically compared to MOFs chemical applications. This is due in part to the nature of biological processes taking longer to study, but …
The Binding Of The Micronutrient Transition Metals To The Alkylation Products Of Chemical Warfare Agent, Sulfur Mustard, And Thiols, Potentially Giving New Understanding To Physiological Effects Of Exposure And Increased Toxicity, Colin O'Donnell
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Model compounds, 3,6,9-trithaiundecane-1,11-dicarboxylic acid (TTDPA), 2,5,8-trithianonane-1,9-dicarboxylic acid (TTDAA), and 1,11-diamide-3,6,9-trithiaundecane (TTDAce), closely related to the adducts formed by cysteine alkylation of the chemical weapon, sulfur mustard, were synthesized. It is shown that TTDPA forms complexes with key metal micronutrients: copper, nickel, cobalt, manganese, and zinc. Though the strength of binding to TTDPA varies, the complexes in many cases precipitate from solution. All metals produced a visible precipitate upon interaction with TTDPA under the conditions tested, however only Cu2+, Mn2+, and Zn2+ produced enough to be measured. The mass of formed precipitate seemed to peak at an equimolar ratio of TTDPA …
Hierarchical Structure And Material Integration For Electrocatalytic Co2 Reduction, Hamed Mehrabi
Hierarchical Structure And Material Integration For Electrocatalytic Co2 Reduction, Hamed Mehrabi
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
CO2 released by the combustion of fossil fuels is driving significant changes to the earth’sclimate. The natural cycle for removing CO2 from the atmosphere, namely photosynthesis, cannot keep up with the rate at which it is being added. Developing engineering approaches to remove CO2 from the atmosphere is becoming essential to reduce these effects. Removal leads to further issues of carbon sequestration and favorable CO2 reuse strategies, including the electrochemical transformation of recovered CO2 to useful products such as fuels and materials. Copper is an important electrocatalyst for the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) because of its unique capability for producing …
Visible Light-Assisted Deconstruction/Refunctionalization Of Strained And Unstrained N-Cycloalkylanilines, Elvis Duah Boateng
Visible Light-Assisted Deconstruction/Refunctionalization Of Strained And Unstrained N-Cycloalkylanilines, Elvis Duah Boateng
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
The exploitation of ring strain as a driving force to facilitate chemical reactions is a well-appreciated principle in organic chemistry. Of the strained carbocycles frequently explored in this respect, cyclopropane ring systems have drawn considerably more interest among synthetic chemists than their homolog, the cyclobutane ring systems, even though the strain energy of cyclobutane (26.7 kcal/mol) is similar to that of cyclopropane (27.5 kcal/mol). We have previously developed a [4+2] annulation reaction for the synthesis of aniline-substituted six-membered carbocycles under photoredox catalysis via the oxidative cleavage of N-cyclobutylanilines. The key reaction involved in this method is a ring-opening process of …
Catalytic Activity Of Tungsten-Dioxo And Tungsten-Diimido Complexes, Kayla Denike
Catalytic Activity Of Tungsten-Dioxo And Tungsten-Diimido Complexes, Kayla Denike
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Due to the significant decline in the availability of petrochemical resources and the increasing demand for the useful olefin mixtures extracted from oil, a sustainable and efficient alternative to these materials has become vital. Fortunately, renewable biomass derived materials may serve as a sustainable solution to the limited resources problem. Molecules derived from the degradation of biomasses are highly oxygenated and highly functionalized. Developing processes to efficiently defunctionalize these oxygen-rich materials will lead to potential up-conversion to carbon chemicals. Homogeneous catalytic deoxygenation processes present an opportunity to access valuable carbon commodity chemicals from biomass derived polyols. This dissertation details the …
Introduction Of Human Acidic Fibroblast Growth Factor (Fgf1) Variant With Increased Stability And Bioactivity, Azadeh Tavousi Tabatabaei
Introduction Of Human Acidic Fibroblast Growth Factor (Fgf1) Variant With Increased Stability And Bioactivity, Azadeh Tavousi Tabatabaei
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Human acidic Fibroblast Growth Factor 1 (FGF-1) involves in a broad spectrum of biological processes, including cell growth, proliferation, differentiation, migration, angiogenesis, wound healing, and embryonic development. hFGF1 non-selectively binds to cell surface hFGF receptor isoforms to elicit these cell-signaling processes. Since hFGF1 plays a significant role in tissue repair activity, that is a prime candidate for novel wound healing therapeutics. However, hFGF1 has been found to unfold near physiological temperature due to a strong electrostatic repulsion created by a dense cluster of positively charged amino acids near the c-terminus. The problem not only leads to proteolytic degradation of the …
Fabrication Of Mof Films Of Uio Or Pcn Type Through Layer-By-Layer Molecular Deposition As Well As Bulk Deposition For Catalytic Applications, John Ozdemir
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline, porous materials comprised of symmetric organic linkers coordinated to positively charged metal atoms or metal oxide nodes. This dissertation uses strategies in crystal engineering to advance the study of functional MOFs with emphasis on thin film deposition. The first chapter of this dissertation will introduce the field of reticular chemistry to the reader and describe synthetic efforts to develop useful building blocks for MOF materials: namely porphyrin macrocycles and carboxylate capped zirconium-oxo and hafnium-oxo clusters. The building blocks for MOFs developed in the first chapter will be employed in the second and third chapters through …
Understanding Interfacial Reactions Initiating On Electrode Materials For Energy Storage Technologies, Jingnan Li
Understanding Interfacial Reactions Initiating On Electrode Materials For Energy Storage Technologies, Jingnan Li
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Since the first generation of lithium-ion batteries featured lithium cobalt oxide cathode and carbon anode commercialized in the 1990s, the high-capacity materials with lower cost are in demand to further increase the battery energy density. Lithium metal and silicon anode are promising high-capacity anode materials to achieve next-generation lithium batteries. However, both the materials actively react in electrolytes and suffer from dramatic volume change. Therefore, a reliable passivation layer at the electrolyte/electrode interphase (i.e., solid electrolyte interphase, or “SEI”) is required to support the long-term cycling of both materials. Cetrimonium hydro fluoride (CTAHF2) has been proposed and synthesized as an …
