Synthesis of chiral nitrogen heterocycles using hydroformylation – cyclisation reactions
(2022-11-29) - ThesisThis thesis concerns the investigation of hydroformylation-cyclisation reactions for the synthesis of chiral, saturated nitrogen heterocycles. The first chapter is a literature review that details the work that has previously ... -
Probing the structure and reactivity of zeolites in their interactions with water
(2022-11-29) - ThesisThe work presented in this thesis has been performed to increase the understanding of the interactions of zeolites with water, under a range of reaction conditions. The systems studied have been selected on the basis of ... -
Adventures in poisoning parasites : chemical and biochemical investigations into the mode of action of novel anti-parasitic compounds against the kinetoplastid parasites
(2023-06-14) - ThesisA library series of analogues of the natural product fumagillin suitable for photoaffinity labelling were prepared by Rodrigo Pierre and subjected to photoaffinity labelling studies by Dr Tulloch and myself against Trypanosoma ... -
Dynamic covalent functionalisation and assembly of boronic acid nanoparticles
(2022-06-15) - ThesisThe rapid development in the synthesis and understanding of the properties of various types of nanoparticles has produced a plethora of potential building blocks. In attempts to exploit these novel species, several groups ... -
Synthesis and characterisation of the geometric ferroelectric LaTaO₄
(2022-06-15) - ThesisLaTaO₄ is one of very few reported n=2 Carpy-Galy oxides. It is isostructural to the BaMF₄ fluorides which were subject of much prior study due to their ferroelectric and multiferroic properties. Previous studies of LaTaO₄ ...
