Application of Density Functional Theory to Exploration of Reactions

Creator:: Feoktistova, Taisiia
Abstract:: My work has focused on using density functional theory to elucidate mechanisms of organocatalytic and transition metal catalyzed reactions by considering competing mechanisms. In each of the three presented studies computational investigation complemented experimental work by predicting stereoselectivity or revealing origins of stereo, regio, or chemoselectivity. A study on the...

Rationalization and innovative design of asymmetric organocatalysts through computational investigation

Creator:: Johnston, Ryne Connell
Abstract:: My work on computing complex catalyzed organic transformations reveals that only a few subtle chemical factors, e.g. non-classical hydrogen bonding, (hyper)conjugation and steric effects, common across different catalyst manifolds are critical for catalysis and selectivity. Rational manipulation and exploitation of these factors has led to improved catalyst designs, which has...

Strategic Application of Computations to Diverse Chemical Systems

Creator:: Brueckner, Alexander C.
Abstract:: My work has focused on streamlining the study of organic compound structure, properties, and reactions by 1) understanding and using available computational software, 2) developing software packages to facilitate data manipulation as well as augment public programs, and 3) applying public and in-house developed software to further the understanding of...

Elucidating the Origins of Trends and Selectivities of Organic Reactions through Computations and Data Analysis Techniques

Creator:: Richardson, H. Camille
Abstract:: In this dissertation, a novel method for analyzing computed transition states (TS) for organic reactions is disclosed. It introduces the use of localization-delocalization matrices as parameters in a linear free energy relationship to determine the transition state interactions responsible for differences in energy between the major and minor TS in...

Development of Miniature Wire pH Sensors for Real-Time Monitoring of the Streptococcus Mutans Biofilm

Creator:: Wong, Derek C.
Abstract:: The interface between a biofilm and the underlying substrate to which it is attached is challenging to study. Currently, available methods of studying this microenvironment have not been able to record data in real-time over a time period in the range of days. To address this challenge, we report the...

Towards the Perfect Marriage Between Theory and Experiments in Drug Discovery and Synthesis : Insights into Structure Determination of Complex Natural Products and Mechanistic Understandings of Lactam Synthesis

Creator:: Snyder, Kevin M.
Abstract:: In this report, three studies are presented that aid in the development of drug discovery and their synthesis. In each, the importance of the marriage between computations and experiments is highlighted. Continued efforts in this vein are essential for future efforts towards improving human health. The first case study investigated...

Structure-property relationships of layered oxypnictides

Creator:: Muir, Sean W.
Abstract:: Investigating the structure-property relationships of solid state materials can help improve many of the materials we use each day in life. It can also lead to the discovery of materials with interesting and unforeseen properties. In this work the structure property relationships of newly discovered layered oxypnictide phases are presented...

Innovative Bioanalytical Tools & Methods for Combinatorial Non-Coding RNA Analysis

Creator:: Zhang, Lulu
Abstract:: Recently researchers have discovered that groups of small non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) play regulatory roles in gene expression and participate in various biological processes. For example, pathogenesis of many diseases, cell cycle regulation, and signaling pathways. Intracellular and live cell imaging of small ncRNA groups will reveal their relative expression levels...

Electrolyte Design: Improving Capacity and Structural Stability of Electrodes

Creator:: Xu, Yunkai
Abstract:: The grand plan of carbon neutralization and COP26 in Glasgow require a quick shift of energy sources from conventional fossil fuel to a more renewable substitute such as wind, or solar energy. However, the intermittency of those renewable energy sources does not meet the demand of the energy, which requires...
