Synthesis and application of chiral substituted oxazolines
(2015-09-08)
This thesis consists of two subprojects, dealing with the design, synthesis and application of novel (1) pyridinyl-oxazoline ligands and (2) prolyl-oxazoline ligands.
In Project 1 eleven novel pyridinyl-oxazoline ligands ...
Development of rapid spectroscopic methods for the analysis of cell culture media
(NUI Galway, 2014-11-28)
Industrial scale cell culture is used for the production of many therapeutic agents such as protein and vaccines. Cell culture medium is a vital raw material used in these production processes. Formulation analysis of the ...
On the pyrolysis and combustion of furans: quantum chemical, statistical rate theory, and chemical kinetic modelling studies
(2014-06-23)
The development of synthetic methods which can convert inedible waste biomass into liquid transportation fuels is an exciting breakthrough which may reduce our dependence on fossil fuels for energy production, and contribute ...
An experimental and modelling study of the combustion of oxygenated hydrocarbons
(2014-03-19)
A chemical kinetic mechanism for the combustion of acetone has been developed and compared with a range of experimental data from the literature and with species concentration profiles measured in this study in the Princeton ...
An autoignition study of hydrogen and natural gas mixtures under gas turbine relevant conditions in a rapid compression machine
(2013-11-14)
This study presents an experimental and modelling investigation of the ignition of hydrogen and natural gas mixtures. These mixtures were chosen due to their relevancy to the gas turbine industry.
A detailed chemical ...
The combustion of fuel reference compounds in laboratory-scale reactors and flames
(NUI Galway, 2018-05-14)
Internal combustion engines that rely heavily on fuel oxidation chemical kinetics, rather than external ignition sources, promise the simultaneous improvement of thermodynamic efficiencies and reduction of pollutant emissions ...
The investigation of methylmagnesium chloride as a non-nucleophilic base
(NUI Galway, 2018-11-30)
The use of methylmagnesium chloride (MeMgCl) as a non-nucleophilic base is explored in this thesis.
Grignard reagents react in nucleophilic addition reactions with nitriles yielding a ketone upon work-up, but in the ...
Calixarene-mediated protein assembly
(2014-05-23)
Solved the first crystal structure of a protein-calixarene complex (at 1.4 Angstrom resolution). The results provide exact structural information on the amino acid preference of the anionic p-sulfonatocalix[4]arene (sclx4) ...
An Experimental and Modelling Study of the Oxidation of n-Propylbenzene Over a Wide Range of Temperatures and Pressures and its Comparison with n-Butylbenzene
(2013-04-05)
This study presents an experimental and modeling investigation of the ignition of n-propylbenzene and a mixture of n-propylbenzene and n-heptane. This mixture was chosen to represent a surrogate for n-decylbenzene a common ...
Synthesis of S-glycolipids and peptidomimetics
(2011-08-19)
Chapters one and two of this thesis describe the synthesis of two novel glycosphingolipid derivatives. Glycosphingolipids are amphiphilic molecules consisting of a carbohydrate head group glycosidically linked to a sphingoid ...
