Thank you. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my research advisor, Marc Boudreau, for his support and guidance. He has helped me grow as a chemist and expand my knowledge and understanding in the field of chemistry. Also, I thank my committee members for the time and support they have dedicated me during this process. To my friends close and far, all across the globe, thank you for making grad school what it has been with your messages and calls of encouragement. And a special thanks to Dr. Deisy Pena-Romero and Dr. Sharon Song for always being there to guide and cheer me up during grad school. I would like to acknowledge the past and present Boudreau group members for making these years in lab fun. I thank especially my parents, my brothers, Drou and his family for being there during these years whenever I needed them. Cindi and Laura, I would like to thank you for the support you have provided me during my time at UNH and helping in every way you could to make it smooth administratively but also with all the kind and supportive words and gestures you had. It was always greatly appreciated. To the university instrument center, particularly Dr. Patricia Wilkinson and Jon Wilderman, thank you for providing help to set up NMR experiments and troubleshooting any related issues whenever I needed it. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS DEDICATION ……………………………………………………………………..……………………...iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ………………………………………………….…………………..……….iv LIST OF SCHEMES ……………………………………………………………..…………..…………..x LIST OF FIGURES ……………………………………………………………………….………….…xii LIST OF TABLES ………………………………………………………………………………………xv ABSTRACT……………………………………………………………………………..………………xvi GENERAL INTRODUCTION……………………………………………………………………………1 CHAPTER I.
