ENHANCING THE BONDING OF SYNTHETIC POLYMERS MIMICKING MARINE BIOADHESIVES
… This catechol moiety provides cross-linking chemistry that allows these animals to bond tightly to rocks and each other, even when wet. In developing synthetic mimics of mussel adhesive proteins, we are incorporating simplified forms of cross-linkable monomers into synthetic polymer …

Interplay of Transition Metals and Noncovalent Interactions in C–H Activation Catalysis
… role in pharmaceutical industry, medicinal chemistry, and the materials industry. While synthetic routes to activate unreactive C–H bonds require harsh conditions and usually show poor selectivity, biological systems, such as non-heme iron enzymes, carry out selective C–H activation …

Biomimetic carboxylate-bridged diiron complexes : from solution behavior to modeling the secondary coordination sphere
… Generalizing across different metals studied in biomimetic chemistry, the review allows for the comparison between different systems and generalizations are drawn about the effects of secondary coordination sphere hydrogen bond donors. Chapter 2: ¹⁹F NMR Study of Ligand Dynamics in …

Polar Tris(pyrazolyl)borates for the modeling of Zinc metalloenzymes in aqueous solution
… hydrophilic nature, which are influencing the chemistry of TpC(O)NHPh,Me based zinc complexes as they do in the active sites of zinc metalloenzymes. <br>In summary, 3 new bis(pyrazolyl)borate and 3 novel polar tris(pyrazolyl)borate ligands were synthesized. 7 potassium, 2 thallium and 25 zinc …

Design of new tripodal ligands to advance the biomimetic Zinc chemistry
The goal of this work was the synthesis of a ligand system which coordinates zinc with the same features as those showed by the enzymes. This ligand was to be water soluble, was to form a hydrophobic cavity around zinc and was to provide additional functional groups with hydrogen bonding …
