Abstract Details

2015, Master of Science (MS), Ohio University, Chemistry (Arts and Sciences).
The goal of this project is to functionalize supramolecular oligomer chains with amino acids and nucleic acids in order to observe interactions with proteins and DNA. Chiral substituents are also desirable to induce helicality in the oligomer much like DNA. We explored different pathways to afford these oligomers. The first project involves forming metallo-organic oligomers using non-covalent bonds and then functionalizing them. We synthesize ligands and use alkyne-azide cycloadditions to functionalize them. These ligands can then be coordinated to various transition metals. The aromatic regions of these oligomers can then self-assemble into tube-like chains with the participation of cucurbit[8]uril. Second, we explore an alternate pathway to form functionalized chains. This second set of chains coupled amines with carboxylic acid groups attached to the ligands. This project hopes to avoid solubility problems experienced with the first project. We also explore other alterations to the ligand being used.
