Ion-selective electrodes and optodes as tools for trace analysis of ions in environmentally and biologically important samples.
Thesis
Mendecki, L. (2016). important samples

Over the past decade, analytical chemists have been faced with a significant task to develop techniques and methodologies that are fully applicable to real-time sample analysis while significantly lowering per-sample and per-measurement costs. Such a... Read More about Ion-selective electrodes and optodes as tools for trace analysis of ions in environmentally and biologically important samples..

The design and synthesis of compounds that moderate nitric oxide levels
Thesis
Thomson, P. (2016). The design and synthesis of compounds that moderate nitric oxide levels

Nitric oxide (NO) is a potent biological messenger known to play key roles in many biological processes. Medical conditions such as angina, cancer and some neurodegenerative diseases have been shown to benefit from nitric oxide related therapy. The m...

Towards the rapid and efficient stereoselective synthesis of tetrahydropyrans
Thesis
Cooper, D. (2016). Towards the rapid and efficient stereoselective synthesis of tetrahydropyrans

A number of stereoselective syntheses have been investigated employing the ability of a furanyl ether chiral centre to epimerise under acidic conditions, therefore allowing the more stable diastereoisomer to preferentially form under thermodynamic co...
