Ferroelectricity in empty tetragonal tungsten bronzes
(University of St Andrews, 2017-06-21) - ThesisIn this work, in-depth structural and electrical characterisation is used to study a family of “empty” tetragonal tungsten bronzes (TTBs), A2₄A1₂B1₂B2₈O₃₀. An initial investigation into the effect of the A1-cation size ... -
Tracking the evolution of function in diverse enzyme superfamilies
(University of St Andrews, 2016-06-22) - ThesisTracking the evolution of function in enzyme superfamilies is key in understanding how important biological functions and mechanisms have evolved. New genes are being sequenced at a rate that far surpasses the ability of ... -
Structural and biochemical studies on the biosynthetic pathways of cyanobactins
(University of St Andrews, 2016-06-22) - ThesisCyclic peptides have potential as scaffolds for novel pharmaceuticals, however their chemical synthesis can be challenging and as such natural sources are often explored. Several species of cyanobacteria produce a family ... -
Ionothermal synthesis : a new synthesis methodology using ionic liquids and eutectic mixtures as both solvent and template in zeotype synthesis
(University of St Andrews, 2006) - ThesisThe aim of this thesis was to research the new synthesis methodology of ionothermal synthesis, used for the synthesis of zeolite type materials, mainly aluminophosphates. An ionic liquid or eutectic mixture is to act as ... -
