Beta-Diketiminato Copper Complexes for C-H Bond Functionalization
(Georgetown University, 2014)C-H amination is an attractive methodology for constructing C-N bonds from seemingly unreactive C-H bonds. This process reduces group manipulations and reaction by-products. C-H amination catalysts are usually rhodium and ... -
Beta-diketiminato copper complexes in C-H bond amination
(Georgetown University, 2010) -
Beta-diketiminato nickel and copper complexes in C-N bond formation and N-O bond activation
(Georgetown University, 2011) -
Bifunctional Hydrogenation Catalysis in Aqueous and Formic Acid/Triethylamine Media
(Georgetown University, 2012)Catalytic hydrogenation of organic compounds with molecular hydrogen is fast and efficient, but requires high gas pressures. Recently, there has been a revival in the field of catalytic transfer hydrogenation using formic ... -
Biochemical and biophysical analysis of recombinant Plasmodium falciparum chloroquine resistance transporter (pfcrt)
(Georgetown University, 2009) -
Breaking Down the Raman Spectra of Polyethylene with Quantum Mechanical Calculations
(Georgetown University, 2016)Polyethylene is presently the highest volume polymer in terms of production, with an extraordinary large amount of applications, ranging from plastic food containers to industrial sheeting. The applications of polyethylene ... -
Capsules and cavitands : concave molecules built on the cyclotribenzylene (CTB) scaffold
(Georgetown University, 2011) -
Catalytic C-C Bond Construction Using Fluorine and Chlorine-Containing Nucleophiles
(Georgetown University, 2019)The high synthesis demand from upstream industries requires the development of new methods that produce fluorine and chlorine-containing compounds. To this end, a catalytic strategy was developed to achieve the insertion ... -
Characterization of Multimethylation in Ricksettsia Outer Membrane Protein B (OMPB) Catalyzed by Lysine Methyl Transferases
(Georgetown University, 2014)Rickettsiae are causative agents of typhus and spotted fever. Early detection and vaccines are crucially needed. The observation of correlation between methylation of lysine residues in rickettsial outer membrane protein ... -
Circular Dichroism Sensing of Chiral Compounds with a Meso (Salen)Cobalt Complex
(Georgetown University, 2014)Coordination of a chiral substrate to (meso-salen)cobalt(II) nitrate and subsequent oxidation generates a Co(III) complex exhibiting a strong chiroptical readout that is attributed to spontaneous substrate-to-ligand chirality ... -
Complexation of Air Gases in Small Cryptophanes
(Georgetown University, 2018)The molecule-within-molecule complexes of the container molecules constitute a fascinating branch of supramolecular chemistry that has broad-reaching implications. Since 1981, cryptophanes, defined by the connection of two ... -

(Georgetown University, 2011) -
Continuum electrostatics calculations of reduction potentials of rubredoxins
(Georgetown University, 2010) -
Copper and Zinc Catalyzed Additions of Alkynes and Ynamides to Carbonyl Electrophiles
(Georgetown University, 2017)Fluorine-containing pharmaceuticals are of increasing interest which is at least partly due to the favorable stability to biodegradation, increasing bioavailability and lipophilicity and other desirable pharmacological and ... -
Copper Catalyzed C-C Bond Formation with Ynamides and Fluorinated Enolates
(Georgetown University, 2014)The addition of ynamides to N-heterocycles activated in situ with ethyl chloroformate has been accomplished at room temperature using copper iodide as catalyst. The addition to pyridines and quinolines proceeds with good ... -
Crystal growth of polymorphic bis-diphenyl ureas on self-assembled monolayer templates
(Georgetown University, 2009) -
Crystalline Organic Cavitands as Microcavity Materials
(Georgetown University, 2015)There has been much interest in inefficiently packed molecular materials and their applications in gas storage, separations, catalysis, etc. Such known materials include metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), polymers of intrinsic ... -
Crystallization and phase transformation of uric acids

Dehydration and Dopant Effects in Nucleic Acid Hydrates
(Georgetown University, 2017)The dehydration mechanism and the inclusion of molecular dyes (dopants) in two nucleic acid hydrates, thymine and cytosine, were investigated. Thymine hydrate (TH) was identified as a modulated system which undergoes a ...
