(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2016)The halo nucleus [superscript 11]Li was explored through elastic and inelastic scattering off protons at the TRIUMF facility in Vancouver using the IRIS facility. IRIS pioneers in using thin windowless solid hydrogen target ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2019)The synthesis of biphenyl substituted cyclopentadienyl ligands are described. The synthetic route is accomplished through the reaction of aryl lithium reagents with cobaltocenium salts, followed by oxidation of the ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2015)Ionic liquids and organocatalysts serve as greener alternatives to conventional reaction solvents and catalysts. Recent research has found that pyrrolidinium tagged ionic organocatalysts enhance the rate of DABCO co-catalyzed ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2018)In order to ensure food security for the steadily increasing population, intensive, carefully managed agricultural practices are a necessity. In an attempt to increase crop yields, mineral and organic fertilizers have been ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2023-04-19)A proposed synthetic pathway to produce a cyclic (alkyl)(phosphino) carbene (CAPC)has been investigated. 1-bromo-2,4,6-tritertbutylbenzene (-2,4,6-tritertbutylbenzene =mes*) was used to produce Mes*PCl2. A ring ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2017)Metal-organic frameworks have become a popular research topic for the design of functional materials. Their high surface area and regular pore size combined with their tunability have resulted in applications in gas ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2013)This project focuses on the development of a portable DNA-aptamer based biosensor, which is referred to as an aptasensor, that would aid in the diagnosis of the highly contagious disease tuberculosis. An important aspect ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2014)Currently, there is a growing demand for continuous monitoring of human disease and the development of analytical techniques capable of reliably detecting and diagnosing various illnesses. The objective of this project was ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2015)An aptasensor is a biosensor that makes use of aptamers as a recognition element to detect target analytes. Aptamers are sequences of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) or RNA that can selectively bind to a wide range of target ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2022-04-20)A common cardiovascular disease is acute myocardial infarction (AMI), which is characterized as an ischemic event within the myocardium that results in irreparable damage to the heart. Unfortunately, current clinical ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2018)The lack of efficiency of current methods for bacterial screening has prompted an increasing interest in developing a cost-effective, rapid and sensitive alternative for applications in all sectors of society. This project ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary/s University, 2019)With the spread of bat White-nose Syndrome decimating regional bat populations, finding a safe antifungal agent able to combat the causative agent Pseudogymnoascus destructans is a necessity. Upsetting the already fragile ...
-
Exploration of surface plasmon-assisted catalysis (SPAC) as a new route for heterogeneous catalysis (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2017)Plasmonics is the study of the interactions between the free electrons of a metal, and the electric field component of light. In the presence of the oscillating electronic field, the free electrons in the metal oscillate ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2021)The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted supply chain issues for personal protective equipment (PPE) in Canada. In addition, many PPE products are produced from non-renewable feedstocks. Wood pulp is an abundant and renewable ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2019)Plasmonics is the field of research which explores the unique optical and electronic effects observed when certain nanoscale metals interact with light. Plasmonic nanostructures that are uniform in size and shape are highly ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2019)In the [5+1+2+1] cycloaddition reaction, hydroxydihydroindanones can be synthesized from vinylcyclopropanes and alkynes under a carbon monoxide atmosphere to produce five new C-C bonds in a single step. Dihydroindanones ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2023-04-26)Third harmonic generation (THG) microscopy uses the nonlinear optical effect called harmonic generation (HG) to study materials and compounds. It is an advantageous technique for biological imaging, as unlike fluorescence ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2020)The identification of natural organic pigments is fundamental for the conservation, preservation, and historical interpretation of artwork. Natural pigments, derived from plant and insect sources, can experience fading and ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2017)Spectroscopic investigations on the [RhCl(CO)[subscript 2]][subscript 2] catalysed [5 + 1 + 2 + 1] cycloaddition of VCP, CO and 4-ethynylbiphenyl were performed and the existence of an off-cycle species was revealed. This ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2018)The Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction forms a carbon-carbon bond between an electrondeficient alkene and an aldehyde in an atom economic, albeit slow, reaction in the presence of catalytic tertiary amine or phosphine.1 Utilizing ...
