Coinage Metal Chalcogenide Clusters with N-Heterocyclic Carbene Ancillary Ligands
This thesis describes the synthesis and characterization of homo- and heterometallic group 11 – group 16 clusters with N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands. The clusters were prepared from reactive group 11 trimethylsilylchalcogenolate reagents (NHC-M-ESiMe3; M = Cu, Au; E = S, Se, Te) by silane …

Scanning Probe Study of N-Heterocyclic Carbene Self-Assembly on Coinage Metal Surfaces
The autonomous process of molecular level organization into self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) as a method to functionalize surfaces is suitable to a wide range of applications. Since the inception of SAMs, alkanethiols have been the standard surface anchor. More recently, N-heterocyclic carbenes …

The recoinage and exchange of 1816-17
The Coinage Bill of 1816 was a turning point in monetary history, establishing Britain on the gold standard and making provision for a major recoinage and exchange of silver. The intention in this thesis has been to examine why the reform happened when it did, what its legacy was for the nineteenth …
