N-heterocyclic carbene catalysis: expansion of
(2009-05-15)
Asymmetric hydrogenation as a general route to polypropionates has been
explored for allylic alcohols, acids, and derivatives, which has led to the generation of
2,4-dimethylated hexane derivatives. Quantitative yields in ...
Dendrimer-encapsulated metal nanoparticles: synthesis, characterization, and applications to catalysis
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The research in this dissertation examines the chemistry and applications of dendrimers in homogeneous catalysis. We examined interactions between dendrimers and charged probe molecules, prepared dendrimer-encapsulated ...
