Picture Selection : Editorial Reactions To Ten Violent News Photographs, Jacquelyn Ann Louise Elnor

Nucleophilic Substitution At Phosphorus In Six-Membered Ring Phosphate Esters, Mike Bauman Jan 1978

Nucleophilic Substitution At Phosphorus In Six-Membered Ring Phosphate Esters, Mike Bauman

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

From these results the following conclusions may be drawn: 1. The stereochemistry of nucleophilic substitution at phosphorus is influenced by the basicity of the leaving group with the more basic leaving group favoring retention. 2. Lithium ion diverts the reaction to retention by forming an intimate ion-pair with the nucleophile which then attacks phosphorus. This associated ion is less reactive than the unassociated nucleophile. 3. For the retention mechanism the leaving group participates in the rate determining step. 4. The mechanism for retention entails a more sterically unfavorable configuration than for inversion.

One Blake : The Principles And Method Of Visionary Awakening In The Marriage Of Heaven And Hell, Milton, And Jerusalem., Richard Lee Record Sep 1976

One Blake : The Principles And Method Of Visionary Awakening In The Marriage Of Heaven And Hell, Milton, And Jerusalem., Richard Lee Record

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Essential to an understanding of William Blake is the knowledge of his intense identification with the messianic "perfect prophet," described by the Old Testament prophets, St. John, and Milton, and of the thematic unity which this identification produces in his work. The principles which lead to the attainment of this prophetic role--visionary awakening--and the moment of vision itself are the raw materials for his canon and provide the framework for his three key engraved works. The principles of visionary awakening and the epiphanic moment are outlined in The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, elaborated in Milton, and extended to all …
