Diphenylamine-2,2’-dicarboxaldehyde (1a) was prepared in three steps from ethyl-2-iodobenzoate and ethyl-2-aminobenzoate (38% overall yield) following the literature synthesis. The intermediate diphenylamine-2,2’-ethylbenzoate ...

Cysteine dioxygenase (CDO) is a non-heme mono-iron enzyme that catalyses the oxidation of cysteine to cysteine sulfinic acid (CSA) by the addition of the two oxygen atoms from dioxygen to the thiol group of cysteine. In ...

This thesis describes the synthesis of a 2,6-bis(quinolyl)pyridine ligand that can form a large molecular cleft upon metal coordination. The walls of the cleft are defined by the 42 carbon PAH hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene ...

Seawaters associated with the Subtropical Frontal Zone located off the eastern coast of New Zealand are of particular interest for studies of the global marine carbon cycle. The Southland Front represents the near-coastal ...

Iron is an essential but limiting nutrient for phytoplankton growth in the marine environment. In some oceanic bodies like the Southern Ocean, the chlorophyll levels are low even if the nutrients are replete in these waters. ...

The composition of ice from four case studies based on the facies, solute, stable isotope, and debris content reveals compositional differences reflective of different modes of ice formation. In Southern McMurdo Sound, ...

A series of pyrimidine-hydrazone (pym-hyz) molecular strands have been modified with terminal hydroxymethyl and acryloyl functional groups in order to allow their incorporation into co-polymer gels. This thesis describes ...

This thesis has developed a suite of compound specific stable isotope tools to monitor landfill leachate and identify the infiltration of leachate to ground water and surface water. These tools have the power to indicate ...

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is the most dynamic and least understood part of the global oceanic carbon cycle. Furthermore the molecular composition of DOM is largely unknown. This study focused on the distribution ...
