Functionalization of metal-organic frameworks with early transition metals : from fundamental studies to catalytic applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have established themselves as some of the most versatile materials available, with applications ranging from gas sorption to separation to sensing to catalysis. With a large abundance of ...
Heavily fluorinated electronic polymers
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
Building blocks, containing majority fluorine content by weight, for PPEs and PPVs have been synthesized. Some of the monomers were shown to give exclusively fluorous-phase soluble polymers, the syntheses of which were ...
Ligand variation in molybdenum asymmetric ring-closing metathesis catalysts
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
Early transition metal complexes containing tridentate amido ligands : a systematic approach to Ziegler-Natta catalysis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
Self-assembling molecular capsules
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
Synthesis and reactivity of phenylimido and alkylidyne complexes of tungsten (VI)
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1983)
Elucidation of the pathways responsible for the biosynthesis of UDP-N,N'-diacetylbacillosamine in bacterial pathogens
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)
The highly-modified, bacterial sugar N,N'-diacetylbacillosamine (diNAcBac) has been implicated in the pathogenicity of certain microbes through its incorporation onto various protein virulence factors. In particular, ...
On the origin of photons : understanding excitons and multiexcitons in colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
This thesis focuses on studies of exciton and multiexciton dynamics in colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals. I concentrated primarily on the development of correlation spectroscopies for the measurement of the statistics ...
Molybdenum and tungsten alkylidene complexes for cis- and trans-selective ring-opening metathesis polymerization
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
Chapter 1 describes the synthesis of tert-butylimido alkylidene complexes for molybdenum and tungsten. A dimer species [chemical formula] served as a bisimido precursor. After alkylation with Grignard reagent, alkylidene ...
Priming and processing glycosyltransferases in bacterial N-linked glycosylation pathways
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
Bacterial cell surfaces prominently feature a variety of complex glycoconjugates. Although these structures are very diverse, the biosynthesis of these glycoconjugates shares common themes. In particular, a priming ...
