Synthesis Of Novel Reiii And Rev Metallointercalator Complexes For Use As Dna Damage Probes, Eli Schwartz
Synthesis Of Novel Reiii And Rev Metallointercalator Complexes For Use As Dna Damage Probes, Eli Schwartz
Honors Program Theses and Projects
Cancer is a disease that affects millions around the globe. Treatments such as radiation and chemotherapy are often used to treat cancerous tumors, but are not 100% effective in curing the patient. Alternatively, some research groups have proposed the use of metallointercalators, metal complexes consisting of a rhodium, ruthenium, or iridium metal center with bidentate supporting ligands such as bipyridine and phenanthroline, or tridentate ligands such as terpyridine. The complexes also contain a bidentate intercalating group such as dipyridophenazine. These complexes possess the ability to directly bind to DNA through intercalation between the stacks of DNA base pairs, giving them …
Synthesis Of A Protein Based Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production System, Alexander M. Brown
Synthesis Of A Protein Based Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production System, Alexander M. Brown
Honors Program Theses and Projects
Anthropogenic climate change is one of the most pressing challenges facing humans today. It is scientifically established that the production of copious amounts of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) is the primarycause of global warming. Many of these greenhouse gases are produced from the combustion of carbon-based fuels and researchers are investigating promising alternative fuel sources such as hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas is a clean burning fuel that stores a significant amount of chemical potential energy. The goal of this project was to synthesize a protein based photocatalytic hydrogen production system and to characterize the effects of modifications …

Physical chemistry is a sub-discipline of chemistry that focuses on the study of matter at the molecular and atomic level. Since physical chemistry provides foundational knowledge necessary to explain concepts ranging from atomic to molecular structure, chemical reactions and dynamics, to spectroscopy properties of chemical and biochemical systems, it has deeper connections to all other sub-fields of chemistry. Therefore, it is imperative for undergraduate students within chemical science baccalaureate degree programs have a comprehensive understanding of physical chemistry concepts. However, many students taking physical chemistry at an undergraduate level often cannot see its inherent connections to other chemistry sub-disciplines. This …
