Despite their hardships and economic challenges, they endured and remained diligent in instilling the importance of education, perseverance, and integrity in me. For their love, support, and sacrifices made on behalf of my sisters and me, I will forever be grateful. To add to that illustrious cadre of women in this dedication, I offer my sincere gratitude to my best friends, whom I have known for ten years---Daniel Jackson, M.D. and Corey Roberson. D.D.S. Without these intelligent, funny, and supportive men to keep me motivated and driven, I would have been deterred from achieving such a feat and not adhered to my fraternal motto: “achievement in every field of human endeavor” according to the abiding principles and stalwart values of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. While they are not my relatives or fraternal kin, I am privileged to honor them as my brothers with this auspicious dedication. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I would like to give my greatest appreciation and admiration to my advisor, Professor Stefan France, for permitting me to study and perform research in his group. Dr. France allowed me to pursue my intellectual curiosity in fields such as science policy [Sam Nunn Security Fellow], medicinal chemistry [AbbVie], methodology development, and natural product synthesis. Because of this academic freedom, I obtained private industrial experience and expanded my scholarly skills with regard to critical thinking, problem solving, communication, cognitive, and competence skills as they relate to chemistry and broader issues at the nexus of science and policy. Moreover, I want to thank Professor France for his mentorship, guidance, and support for my professional endeavors. For this, I will always be grateful. In addition to my advisor, I am appreciative of my committee members. I would like to give thanks to the professors who have served as role models and provided advice: Dr. Christoph Fahrni, for his guidance toward the completion of my studies; Dr. Gary Schuster, for his encouragement and professional advice on my career objectives; Dr. Charles Liotta, for being a great teacher and directing me to reshape my thinking in the light of “positivity;” Dr. Christopher Jones, for writing recommendation letters and discussing my academic goals at Georgia Tech; Dr. Leslie Gelbaum for training and teaching me the principles NMR spectroscopy, being a great consultant in answering and interpreting complex NMR spectra, having high expectations of me, and for consistently encouraging me and providing me with proactive approaches to overcome hardship in my academic pursuits; and Dr. Raquel Lieberman, for allowing me to iv participate in her biochemical collaboration. While the faculty mentioned are influential, my colleagues had a profound effect on my progression as well. When I became part of the France group at Georgia Tech, I received two outstanding graduate mentors, Drs. Dadasaheb Patil and Lien Phun. I am extraordinarily indebted to Dr. Patil for training me in laboratory techniques and allowing me to participate in and contribute to the various projects included in this thesis. Without his support and motivation, I would not have been as inspired to investigate and explore complex scientific questions. Also, I appreciate Dr. Lien Phun for her laboratory training and inclusion on the heteroaromatic homo-Nazarov research. Both of these individuals are representative examples of the definitions: driven, hard-working, determined, smart, and kind colleagues. In this cadre of friends, I also include Dr. Deepti Sharma for being a great support through my early graduate experience, and Dr. Rebecca Key, a fellow colleague, who I have grown quite fond of through our late nights and long discussions in completing our dissertation studies. She is a great friend. I am extremely grateful to and appreciative of all these individuals. I will cherish our journeys together and look forward to our professional relationships and growing friendships in the future. Throughout my research endeavors, I have had other amazing friends and colleagues. I would like to acknowledge Dr. Kaysia Ludford and Aireen Romu who were great study partners, confidants, and my support system at the University of Michigan. Furthermore, I give my deepest gratitude to Dr. Ariel Marshall for consistently being an outstanding best friend throughout my time at Georgia Tech. I am grateful for the many late night pep talks, prayers, and discussions. Most of all, I will miss the humor we shared and dance-offs to music in the office and lab areas. I cannot forget my dear friend of ten v years, Katherine Foston. She was instrumental in my motivation, perseverance, and determination throughout my graduate studies. Also, I would like to thank Drs. Damien Young and Brandon Quillian for their professional advice with regard to my future endeavors and for being role models in their respective chemical fields. From my undergraduate to graduate studies, I was influenced by many educators and mentors, in particular, Dr. Mordean Taylor-Archer, Diane Whitlock, Sharonda Holmes, Ed Laster, and Dr. Keith Oden. I would like to give my deepest gratitude to these individuals who believed in me and always reminded me of my potential, especially, Dr. Keith Oden, who encouraged and motivated me on numerous occasions in my doctoral studies. His guidance, support, and positive attitude have been invaluable. In my opinion, he has an immeasurably profound impact on graduate students at Georgia Tech, and I am fortunate to have encountered this great mentor, friend, and educator along my doctoral pursuit. Overall, without all these great men and women, I would not have learned nor had the opportunities to grow in the values of leadership and scholarship. Besides my undergraduate and graduate instructors, some high school educators at Owensboro High School and Frank Cody High School had an impact on my life as well. I would like to thank Lori Thurman, a high school social studies teacher and advisor, for cultivating my leadership potential early and nurturing my eager ambition. As a result of the exposure she afforded me through the Kentucky Youth Assembly and student government, I was able to appreciate the importance of public service, academics, and achievement. Furthermore, Lori demonstrated a devout and sincere compassion for my sisters and me when a difficult family situation arose. Both Lori and Anita Burnette, my former high school principal, were caring and kind with open arms to offer their assistance vi during an unfortunate family emergency; for this, I will always be thankful. At Frank Cody High School, I encountered other amazing educators such as Ms. Beverly Rohde, Mrs. Sharon Walker, Mrs. Kelly Booker, and Ms. Mary Barnes. All of these women were outstanding influences during my senior year at Frank Cody High School. Without their commitment to my sustained success, I would have traveled down a path antithetical to progress and achievement. All things considered, I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge the institutions and organizations which invested in me and my future. Throughout my academic progress, I have been very fortunate to attend outstanding institutions of higher learning and receive financial support from universities and various private and public foundations. I would like to thank the University of Louisville for providing me with the Woodford R. Porter Scholarship and the Minority Teacher Recruitment Project Scholarship. I am grateful for the Rackham Merit Fellowship from the University of Michigan. I would like to thank the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation for the NACME Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship, the Ford Foundation for the Ford Diversity Fellowship, and the National Science Foundation for the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship. I would like to thank the Georgia Institute of Technology for the Presidential Fellowship and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation for the Sam Nunn Security Fellowship. I credit all of these universities and foundations with my academic growth and development, and I am proud to be an alumnus. Finally, I am especially grateful to the American taxpayer and my country, the United States

Perfluoroalkylation was studied both as a means for controlling the self-assembly properties of polythiophenes, as well as modifying the molecular orbital energies of a series of oligothiophenes. End-perfluoroalkylation of poly(3-hexylthiophene) resulted in interesting self-assembly of the polymer into a bilayer vesicle. Similar fluorophilic assembly may be useful for controlling blend morphologies in heterojunction based devices. On the other hand, perfluoroalkylation of small molecule thiophene semiconductors leads to low lying LUMO levels, and can be used to promote electron injection for n-type transistor devices. This strategy was employed in combination with a π-electron deficient benzothiadiazole to afford a new n-type semiconductor with an exceptionally low LUMO. Monoperfluoroalkylated oligothiophenes were also synthesized and studied in field effect transistors for the first time. In addition, two new fused thienoacene compounds were synthesized and their crystal structures were analyzed. The fused compounds showed exceptional π-π stacking and assembled into well defined one-dimensional microcrystals from the vapor phase.

  • 11 Concerted Pericyclic Reactions
    11 Concerted Pericyclic Reactions Introduction There are many reactions in organic chemistry that give no evidence of involving intermediates when subjected to the usual probes for studying reaction mechanisms. Highly polar transition states do not seem to be involved either,since the rates of the reactions are often insensitive to solvent polarity. Efforts to detect free-radical intermedi- ates in these reactions by spectroscopic or chemical means have not been successful,and the reaction rates are neither increased by initiators nor decreased by inhibitors of free- radical reactions. This absence of evidence of intermediates leads to the conclusion that the reactions are single-step processes in which bond making and bond breaking both contribute to the structure at the transition state,although not necessarily to the same degree. Such processes are called concerted reactions. There are numerous examples of both unimolecular and bimolecular concerted reactions. An important group of concerted reactions are the concerted pericyclic reactions.1 A pericyclic reaction is characterized as a change in bonding relationship that takes place as a continuous concerted reorganization of electrons. The word ``concerted'' speci®es that there is a single transition state and that there are no intermediates in the process. To maintain continuous electron ¯ow,pericyclic reactions must occur through cyclic transi- tion states. Furthermore,the cyclic transition state must correspond to an arrangement of the participating orbitals that can maintain a bonding interaction between the reacting atoms throughout the course of the reaction. We shall see shortly that these requirements make pericyclic reaction highly predictable in terms of such features as relative reactivity, stereospeci®city,and regioselectivity.

It shows aromaticity by delocalization of a lone pair of electrons from nitrogen. Ø The pyrrole derivatives alkaloids are found in plants like Opium, coffee and also found in marine. Ø Pyrrole is found in collagen as proline and hydroxyproline. 02 FURAN Ø Furan, is an oxygen-containing five-membered aromatic heterocyclic compound, with the formula C4H4O Ø The highly electronegative oxygen holds on the electron density tightly. Ø Although it has a lone pair of electrons, these electrons cannot delocalize easily, and so the system is generally considered to be almost non- aromatic or weakly aromatic Ø Furan is produced through thermal degradation of natural food constituents. 03 THIOPHENE Ø Thiophene is a Sulphur-containing five- membered unsaturated heterocycle, with the formula C4H4S Ø Thiophene is considered less aromatic than benzene. Ø The thiophene ring is present in many important pharmaceutical products.

Received: 26 June 2017; Accepted: 8 August 2017; Published: 11 August 2017 Abstract: Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)s are the conducting polymers (CP) with the biggest prospects in the field of bioelectronics due to their combination of characteristics (conductivity, stability, transparency and biocompatibility). The gold standard material is the commercially available poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS). However, in order to well connect the two fields of biology and electronics, PEDOT:PSS presents some limitations associated with its low (bio)functionality. In this review, we provide an insight into the synthesis and applications of innovative poly(ethylenedioxythiophene)-type materials for bioelectronics. First, we present a detailed analysis of the different synthetic routes to (bio)functional dioxythiophene monomer/polymer derivatives. Second, we focus on the preparation of PEDOT dispersions using different biopolymers and biomolecules as dopants and stabilizers.
