(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2008)Reactions with magnesium-based reagents are often performed in the solvent THF or diethyl ether, both of which are known to contribute to smog formation. A set of reactions with diphenylmagnesium was performed in the ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2016)Supercritical Water Cooled Reactor (SCWR), direct-cycle pressure tube reactor, is the Generation IV conceptual design. SCWR operates at 25 MPa and 650 ºC and offers significant advances of sustainable energy production, ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2013)One of the main undesirable processes in Supercritical Water-Cooled Reactors (SCWR) is the possible formation of metal ligand complexes from ions present in coolant which is very poorly understood both experimentally and ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2012)Atomic Energy of Canada Limited and CANDU are currently developing a Gen-IV Supercritical Water-cooled Reactor (SCWR). The SCWR offers advantages of increased thermal efficiency and sustainability, but at the cost of ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2012)The aqueous chemistry of the low pH vanadium (V) species is complex. These low concentration species of vanadium (V) cannot be studied by conventional experimental methods to obtain the important structural information of ...
-
(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, 2022-08-11)The rise in the World’s population has forced us to employ hasty plant growth-promoting products such as chemical fertilizers and agrochemicals, to meet up with the rising demands of food production. These products have ...
-
(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, 2016)A matrix is constructed where the vertices (atoms) are connected by edges (bonds) resulting in a square matrix that is symmetrical. The localization index (unshared electrons) occupies the long diagonal where the delocalization ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2004)A methodology for studying sorption kinetics of naphthalene in sediments and, for monitoring the free and sorbed forms of naphthalene, has been developed using High Performance Liquid Chromatography online microextraction ...
-
(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, 2024-01-31)This thesis addresses fundamental questions related to the prebiotic evolutionary selection of the building blocks of nucleic acids. The structural tendencies and propensities in today’s nucleic acids are rationalized based ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2019)Mitchell’s chemiosmotic theory stipulates that an electrochemical gradient of protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane provides the free energy for the biosynthesis of adenosine 5’-triphosphate (ATP). ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2013)This thesis consists of three quantum chemical investigations. The first investigates the changes in the chemical bond in strong electric fields, a necessary first step for understanding the behaviour of a substrates or ...
-
(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, 2007)A monomethyltriazene is believed to be the active metabolite of triazene containing anti-neoplastic agents and is thought to methylate the O6-oxygen of guanine to form methylguanine. Methylguanine is believed to be responsible ...
-
(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, 2011)A method was developed and validated for the determination of nitroimidazoles (NIs) including 2-hydroxymethyl-1-methyl-5-nitroimidazole (HMMNI), ipronidazole (IPZ), 1-methyl-2-(2'-hydroxyisopropyl)-5-nitroimidazole (IPZ-OH), ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2006)An apparatus for preparing particulate matter (PM) standards has been developed. Investigation and characterization of the test sample standard reference material (SRM) coal fly ash (CFA) 1633b standards prepared using ...
