Explorations with Polycarbocyclic Cage Compounds
A variety of novel cage-functionalized pyridyl containing crown ethers have been prepared for use in selective alkali metal complexation studies. A highly preorganized, cage-functionalized cryptand also has been designed and has been synthesized for use as a selective Li+ complexant. The alkali …

Part I: The synthesis of chenodeoxycholic acid derived macrocyles and cage compounds. Part II. Sonogashira coupling for the synthesis of well-defined π-conjugated arylene ethynylene oligomers as blue-light-emitting materials
… cyclodimer (K). The first CDCA based cage-type molecular architecture has been achieved by Grubb's reaction. Especially we have successfully synthesized and separated the first cis/trans isomers of the bridged CDCA cyclodimer. The most exciting thing is we have discovered the structure …

Engineering a Photo-Control Mechanism for RNA Interference
… involves the covalent attachment of photolabile compounds to the effector NA species that blocks bioactivity until exposed to near UV-light. This work demonstrates that fully-2’-fluorinated nucleic acids (FNAs) can elicit RNAi and that these effectors are resistant to sugar-specific enzymatic …

Synthesis towards Polyhedral and Rigid Organic Non-Linear Optic Materials
… is intense research interest in new molecular compounds that display enhanced second harmonic generation nonlinear optical (NLO) properties. Previous computational research has shown that both polyhedral carborane compounds and sterically constrained hydrindacene show great potential as NLO …

Functional Metal Oxide Coatings from Molecular Precursors for Energy Applications
… The films were derived from three novel alkoxy cage compounds containing Zr and a first-row transition metal (Co, Fe or Cu). The deposition of a Co-doped ZrO<sub>2</sub> coating onto the BiVO<sub>4</sub> photoanode lowers its onset potential by 0.12 V to 0.21 V vs. the reversible hydrogen …

Design and Synthesis of Novel Cage-Functionalized Crown Ethers: A New Class of Ag Complexants.
Three different types of cage crown ethers have been prepared and their complexation properties with Ag(I) have been studied. Atomic absorption, fluorescence quenching, and UV absorption have been used to study the interaction between the hosts (cage crown ethers) and guests (Ag+). For the …
