Front-End Methods For Enhancing the Analytical Power of Mass Spectrometry
(2016-09-20)
The analytical power and versatility of mass spectrometry can be enhanced by adding front-end devices, which provide additional functionality before, during or immediately after ElectroSpray Ionization (ESI). Such devices ...
Part I: Mechanistic Insight in Alkyl-Alkyl and Aryl-Aryl Negishi Cross-Coupling Part II: Large Scale Synthesis of NHC Precursors: 2,6-DI(3-Pentyl) Aniline and 2,6-DI (4-Heptyl) Aniline
(2016-09-20)
Part I: An efficient method for alkyl-alkyl Negishi cross-coupling reaction of unactivated primary alkyl halides with higher-order zincate species (synthesized from dialkylzinc and a non-coordinating halide salt in situ) ...
Surface and Interfacial Approaches for the Characterization of Biomolecular Interactions and to Optimize Desi-MS Performance
(2016-11-25)
This work involves the surface and interfacial characterization of biomolecular interactions by atomic force microscopy and optimization of desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. In the first part (part I), ...
Examining the Effect of Poly (Ethylene glycol) and Non-Specific Insulin Binding on the Phase Behaviour of PEGylated Phosphocholine Membrane Models
(2016-11-25)
Inclusion of synthetic poly-(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-grafted phospholipids into self-assembled phospholipid matrices is an exceptional method to engineering optimized bio-non-fouling membrane mimetic surfaces. The success ...
Part One: A Flow Reactor With In-Line Analytics: Design and Implementation Part Two: In-Line Derivatization of Protic Compounds for GC/MS Reaction Monitoring
(2016-11-25)
The creation of an automated synthetic reaction system with in-line analytics is presented in two parts. First, the design and implementation of a flow reactor system complete with in-line gas chromatography mass spectrometry ...
Measurement of Atmospheric NOy Species Using Active and Lunar DOAS in an Urban and Forested Region
(2016-09-20)
The study of NOy serves as an important undertaking in the understanding of both night and daytime atmospheric processes. Two separate datasets were collected over the course of this research using Differential Optical ...
Probing Charge Generation in 3D Photonic Poly(3-hexylthiophene)/Titanium Dioxide Nanocomposites for Bulk Heterojunction Solar Cells
(2016-09-20)
Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) are attractive for their inexpensiveness, large-scale fabrication methods, flexibility and semi-transparency. OPVs have lower efficiencies than conventional inorganic semiconductor-based solar ...
Palladium Mediated Synthesis of Substituted Phenols From Acyclic Ketones
(2016-09-20)
The direct functionalization of phenols at the ortho and para position is generally facilitated by the electron-donating nature of the hydroxyl group. Accessing meta substituted phenols, on the other hand, often requires ...
Nanostructured Mixed Transition Metal Spinel Oxide as Efficient Electrocatalysts
(2016-09-20)
CuxCo3-xO4 films with x values ranging from 0 to 1 have prepared in order to optimize their electrocatalytic properties for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Two methods have been used for the preparation of CuxCo3-xO4, ...
The Cocaine-Binding Aptamer: A Thermodynamic and Structural Overview of Specific and Non-Specific Binding Interactions
(2016-09-20)
Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC) studies were conducted wherein variances in the heat capacity of binding (Cp) among variants of the cocaine-binding aptamer were suggestive of two distinct binding mechanisms. Aptamer ...
