Electron Transfer and Assembly in Fe-S Proteins
(Georgetown University, 2011)The iron-sulfur (Fe-S) proteins are a major class of metalloproteins, with metal sites consisting of varying numbers of iron and sulfur atoms. Most Fe-S proteins are electron transfer proteins involved in processes such ... -
The nature and applications of secondary interactions in multi-center radical pi-dimers and conducting polymers

Metal-Oxo Containing Polymer Nanobeads As Potential Contrast Agents for Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(Georgetown University, 2011)Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has greatly revolutionized the way diseases are detected and treated, as it is a non-invasive imaging modality solely based on the interaction of radiowaves and hydrogen nuclei in the ... -
TRANSFORMING TRIATOMIC MOLECULES INTO COMPLEX FUNCTIONAL MATERIALS
(Georgetown University, 2011)Perhaps because the dipole moment of CO2 is equal to zero, a widely held misperception is that this triatomic gas is kinetically and thermodynamically stable under most reaction conditions. As a result, only recently has ... -
Development of Enantioselective Agents and Heme-Targeted Antimalarials
(Georgetown University, 2011)Several chiral 3,5-dinitrobenzoyl-derived amides were prepared and applied in enantioselective NMR analysis of protected amines. It was found that (R)-N-(1-(naphthalen-1-yl)ethyl)-3,5-dinitrobenzamide is a very effective ... -
Functionalized 1,8-Diarylnaphthalenes: Applications in Enantioselective Sensing and Stereoselective Cycloadditions
(Georgetown University, 2011)The unique structure of 1,8-diarylnaphthalenes provides an excellent opportunity to design sensors with a chromophoric binding pocket and the ability to transform a binding event with a chiral substrate into a strong and ... -
SYNTHESIS AND SOLID-STATE STUDIES OF CRYPTOPHANE-BASED MATERIALS
(Georgetown University, 2011)Continued political unrest in oil producing countries has led the United States to search for new sources of energy technology, such as fuel cells and gas storage materials. Natural gas, which is comprised primarily of ... -
DEVELOPMENT AND CHARACTERIZATION OF CONDUCTING POLYMER MODIFIED ELECTRODES FOR NEUROLOGICAL APPLICATIONS
(Georgetown University, 2011)Electrodes have the potential to be applied to neurological signal detection, neurotransmitter detection, or neurological stimulation, but there are many factors to consider. These factors include the electrochemical ... -
Preparation and Characterization of Chromium-Based Chalcospinel Materials
(Georgetown University, 2011)The goal of this thesis was to synthesize and characterize nanoparticles of the chalcogenide spinels CdCr2S4, CuCr2S4, and FeCr2S4 via a precursor method. In this thesis, I have synthesized dithiocarbamate precursors of ... -
Capsules and cavitands : concave molecules built on the cyclotribenzylene (CTB) scaffold
(Georgetown University, 2011) -
Mechanistic insight into the Brust-Schiffrin two-phase method for organochalcogenate-protected metal nanoparticles
(Georgetown University, 2011) -
The Genetically Encodable Oriented Adsorption of Proteins onto Gold Nanoparticles
(Georgetown University, 2011)Many assays rely upon immobilizing proteins onto gold surfaces. Therefore, simple, stable and specific methods for protein immobilization are needed for the development of applications which rely on the oriented attachment ... -
Directed Crystal Growth and Solid-State Analysis of the Secondary Explosives RDX and HMX
(Georgetown University, 2011)Hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) and octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX) are two of the most commonly used secondary explosives in military and industrial applications. For use as explosives, ... -
