Davidson, Jillian Jordan (2014-12-15)Diarylamido-based tridentate pincer ligands have become an important archetype in transition-metal chemistry and their reactivity has been widely explored. The diarylamido backbone offers rigidity and can be easily tuned ...
-
Lane, Sarah Margaret (2012-10-19)The anticancer properties of dirhodium tetraacetate were discovered in the 1970's, and subsequently motivated the research of several dirhodium paddlewheel derivatives. The promising results of this research led the Dunbar ...

Kharel, Sugam (2018-07-31)This dissertation details the synthesis of isomeric square planar platinum complexes bearing bridgehead diphosphine ligands with cis and trans geometries at platinum. The stabilities of these isomers have been discussed ...
-
Guenther, Johannes 1983- (2012-08-16)The major directions of this thesis involve (1) the synthesis, immobilization, and characterization of tridentate phosphine linkers on silica, (2) the study of unprecedented Si2C bond cleavage in Rh and Ir phosphine ...
