Chiang, Chao-Yi (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)Nitric oxide plays an important role in many biological functions. A metallo derivative in biological systems is a protein-bound dinitrosyl iron complex (DNIC), which results from iron-sulfur cluster degradation in the ...
-
Dorsey, Christopher L. (2010-07-14)The primary goal of this research concerns the synthesis and characterization of hybrid main group Lewis acids. Initially, the focus of this work was on the synthesis of derivatives possessing unusual bonding interactions ...

Hsiao, Yui-May (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)Nickel complexes in sulfur-rich environments have been prepared to determine those factors which stabilize organonickel species and permit access to low valent nickel. The trans-(Ph2PCH2CH2S)2Ni complex was obtained by ...
-
Liu, Tianbiao (2011-02-22)My research primarily focuses on biomimetics of the active sites of the [FeFe]- and [Fe]-hydrogenases (H2ase) and is classified into three parts. Part A: The one-electron oxidation of asymmetrically disubstituted FeIFeI ...
-
Ash, Carlton Edwin (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)In order to examine the effects of phosphorus donor substitution in HFe(CO)₄⁻, a series of compounds of the form cation⁺ HFe(CO)₃P⁻ (P = P(OPh)₃, P(OMe)₃, P(OEt)₃, PPh₃, PPh₂Me, PMe₃, PEt₃) have been prepared. The phosphorus ...
-
Zalewski, David John (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)This study concentrates on the reactivity, characterization, and synthesis of transition metal clusters. The primary goals behind this investigation were: (1) to determine whether or not electronic information can be ...
-
Weatherford, David Allen (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)Diphenylphosphine functionalized ethylene oligomers were used as supports for palladium(0) and palladium(II) catalysts. An advantage of using these ethylene oligomer ligated catalysts was their temperature dependent ...

Park, Soomin (2017-05-08)Molecular catalysts for the electrochemical reduction of CO2 are being investigated for the potential utilization of CO2 as a viable C1 feedstock for the chemical industry and energy economy. Various CO2 reduction products ...
-
Henkes, Amanda Erin (2009-05-15)Because of their high surface area (and hence, increased reactivity) nanocrystals can be used as reactive precursors in the low-temperature synthesis of solid state materials. When nanocrystals are used as reactants, the ...
-
Hudder, Brandon Neal (Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and Mössbauer spectroscopy were used to examine the distribution of iron in mitochondria from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. These organelles were packed into EPR and Mössbauer cuvettes, ...
-
Vogt, Matthew John (Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)Metal-RNA interactions are important to neutralize the negative charge and aid in correctly folding the RNA. Spectroscopically active metal ions, especially Mn2+, have been used to probe the type of interaction the metal ...
-
Jenkins, Roxanne Michelle (2011-08-08)As inspired by the coordination environment of nickel in NikR and NiSOD, imidazole ligands were incorporated into N2SNiII square planar complexes in order to investigate the electronic and structural features of NiII species ...
-
Axnanda, Stephanus R. (2010-07-14)Fundamental studies of heterogeneous catalysis were performed and presented in this dissertation to gain a better understanding of heterogeneous catalytic reactions at a molecular level. Surface science techniques were ...
-
Tian, Jianhua (2009-05-15)Soluble polymer supports facilitate the recovery and recycling of expensive transition metal complexes. Recently, polyisobutylene (PIB) oligomers have been found to be suitable polymer supports for the recovery of a variety ...
