(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2014)A method for synthesizing ionic thiourea based organocatalysts was elucidated. Two ionic organocatalysts were then successfully synthesized and fully characterized. A thiourea containing a pyrrolidinium moiety was shown ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2017)Understanding the surface plasmon resonance properties of gold nanorods (AuNRs) and exploring their sensitivity has attracted much attention due to the potential applications in the biomedical field; including detection ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2020)Mechanochemistry and organocatalysis provide green synthetic methods for chemical reactions. Reported herein are Morita-Baylis-Hilman reactions co-catalyzed by 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, DABCO, and 1-(4-(3-(3,5-bis(t ...

(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2016)The N-demethylation of naturally occurring opiate compounds is a necessary step in the synthesis of many pseudo-opioid pharmaceuticals. Such drugs have gained recent media attention in the fight against opiate addiction; ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2016)Boron analogues of NHCs have long eluded detection, likely due to their predicted low singlet-to-triplet energy gap. Two new N,N’-chelating ligands have been prepared and investigations into their reactivity and coordinative ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2020)Honey bees, Apis mellifera, face many parasites and pathogens such as Paenibacillus larvae, the causal agent of American Foulbrood disease (AFB), a highly contagious disease. Honey bees rely on a diverse set of individual ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2020)Tuberculosis remains one of the top ten causes of death worldwide. Therefore, immediate discovery of new antibiotic compounds is crucial for counteracting the evolving antibiotic resistance in strains of Mycobacterium ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2014)Schiff base ligands and their respective complexes are well established for use in asymmetric catalysis. With difficulty of separation of the catalyst from reaction mixtures being one of the more salient drawbacks to these ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2013)Salen ligands and their corresponding complexes are well known in the field of asymmetric catalysis due to their success in stereoselective reactions. A method that easily allows for recycling of the catalyst without ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2018)Crude petroleum products have impurities that are harmful to industrial equipment, vehicles, and the environment. The American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) is a regulatory body that controls the standards for ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2016)In one form or another both acid gases and carboxylates have existed from prebiotic earth all the way to the present day. Here we have studied the reactions of carbon disulfide (CS[subscript 2]) and sulfur dioxide (SO[subscript ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2016)Iodine-containing small molecules, such as R-CC-I and I-CC-I, can form halogen bonds, interactions that arise from the electrostatic forces between a halogen and Lewis base. This interaction arises from the presence of a ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2022-04-26)Although N-heterocyclic carbene ligands are highly versatile and powerful ligands in transition metal catalysis, complexes of N-heterocyclic carbenes with 3d metals are uncommon and frequently unstable. ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2013)Anionic Group 4 metallocenes have seen a significant amount of attention over the last 20 years with particular interest in titanocene and zirconocene derivatives.[superscript 1-5] The synthesis and characterization of ...
