(Halifax, N.S. : (Saint Mary's University), 2021)Replication of a procedure to electrodeposit MoS2 required use of an uncharacterized crude MoO3 and ethylene glycol reaction mixture as a molybdenum precursor. Multiple attempts to replicate the desired ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2021-08-20)A metabolite-based treatment for Pseudogymnoascus destructans, the causative agent of bat White-nose syndrome, was isolated from a soil fungus native to Eastern Canada. Three application methods were modelled using ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2014)The Nazarov cyclization is a common synthetic tool in the synthesis of cyclopentenone rings. The reaction is characterized by a divinyl ketone starting reagent that undergoes a 4π-electron electrocyclization after addition ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2014)The cyanoformate ion, speculated to be an intermediate by-product in the biosynthesis of ethylene in plants for decades but never observed, was successfully isolated for the first time as its tetraphenylphosphonium salt ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2009)Ionic liquids (ILs) based on the trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium cation were purified or synthesized in high yields (83.6-93.0 %) via salt metathesis. These were used as solvents for 1,4-congugate additions of lithium ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2022-04-25)Dissolved organic matter (DOM) and green tea are known complex substances requiring advanced separation techniques and ultrasensitive detection methods for characterization and identification. DOM is ubiquitous in water ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2006)A combination of polarized light optical microscopy (PLOM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and total depolarized light intensity (DLI) investigations were performed to understand the phase behaviour and micro-level ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2017)We synthesised 4 different tri-substituted phenols: A (2-(pent-4-en-1-yl)phenol, B (4-methoxy-2-(pent-4-en-1-yl)phenol, C (curcuphenol), and D (curcuphenol). While phenols A, B, and C possessed terminal olefins, phenol D ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2017)The synthesis and characterisation of some ethynylphosphonium salts are described starting from 1-bromo-2-phenylacetylene and tertiary phosphines. Structural information for these molecules has been obtained using X-ray ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2006)A methodology for quantification of chloride in water immiscible ionic liquids has been developed using ICP-MS with organic accessory. Solvent mixtures using various ratios of organic solvent relative to water were studied ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2003)Ionic liquids have been used as solvents for many different organic reactions, often providing rate enhancements, selectivity improvements, and affording better yields compared to conventional solvents. In this study, the ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2010)Green chemistry is a popular class of chemistry in which certain principles are followed to minimize the negative impact of chemical processes. The principles focused on here include designing safer chemicals and the usage ...
-
Spectroscopic investigation of the interaction between biomimetic membranes and protein aggregates (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2015)Human diseases characterized by the deposition of insoluble extracellular proteins are referred to as amyloidoses. Such amyloidoses include Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington disease, and prion disease. ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2011)Lab basins and wave tanks have unnatural boundaries (walls) that provide an ideal environment for surface film formation on seawater. Surface films form from natural surfactants in oil and dispersant overspray when applied ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2012)The synthesis, characterization and preliminary reactivity of a new diphosphine is discussed. Calculations indicated a favorable dissociation of the central P-P bond, corresponding to roughly 100kJ/mol relaxation energy ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. :Saint Mary's University, 2009)The synthesis of m-terphenyl iodide and m-terphenyl carboxylic acid was performed and described. A large scale, low-cost synthesis was developed for m-terphenyl iodide that reduced the number of steps and time required to ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2008)A method has been developed to study the distribution of Cu-EDTA and Pb-EDTA complexes in aqueous slurries of sediment. This method involves separation of the metal-EDTA complexex by ion-exchange chromatography on a ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2011)This thesis is written in two parts. Section one contains a survey of the chemistry of Salen (Salen = bis(salicylaldehyde) ethylenediimine) cobalt complexes as molecules and materials with tunable capacities for reversible ...
