This study describes the development of simplified analytical methods for the analysis of trace quantities of selected naturally occurring target compounds in complex biological matrices by stir bar sorptive extraction ...

Synthetic peptides derived from the active core of a natural antimicrobial peptide were used as a template for the design of novel bolaamphiphilic peptides and hybrid molecules. The amphiphilic character of the original ...

This dissertation can be broken into two parts comprising different strategies to synthesise novel poly-amino acid based polymers. The use of recently developed nickel(0) and cobalt(0) metal catalysts for the living ...

Novel gold(I) trithiophosphite complexes were synthesised by utilising the ligands P(SR)3 (R = Me, Ph) and 1,2-bis(1,3,2-dithiaphospholan-2-ylthio)ethane (2L). Reaction with (tht)AuCl or (tht)AuC6F5 readily yielded the ...

The successful preparation and structural characterization of a number of N,N-dialkyl-N’-benzoyl(thio)selenourea ligands is described; where the intermolecular interactions are characterized by the presence of Resonance ...
