Johnson B.S. 2011 Pensacola Christian College M.S. 2013 Pensacola Christian College Director: Nicholas P. Farrell, Professor, Department of Chemistry, School of Humanities and Sciences, Virginia Commonwealth University Virginia Commonwealth University Richmond, VA December, 2018 Acknowledgments I wish to thank several people for their contributions to this work. First, I would like to thank my advisor, Dr. Farrell, for his direction and support of this project and giving me the opportunity to work in his research group, he has pushed me to be the best chemist I could be. This project allowed me to learn new techniques and study the exciting field of metalloglycomics through bioinorganic chemistry in a multi-disciplinary fashion. I would like to thank Dr. Qu for all of her help and guidance particularly through the use of NMR. I would also like to thank Dr. Turner for being an invaluable resource in the instrumentation lab. I am grateful to all of the members of the Farrell group, especially Erica for always being there when I had questions and Jamie for allowing me to discuss countless hours of chemistry with him. I am also grateful to the other members of the Farrell lab group: Daniel, Samantha, Sarah, Eric, Samantha, Tom, and David, and the visiting students who have always been available to help me. I would also like to thank my committee members for all of their helpful suggestions and for keeping me on track with my projects. Finally, I wish to thank my wife, Brittany, without her support both financially and emotionally I would not have been able to finish this degree, she always pushed me to be better; and I am eternally grateful that she was willing endure throughout my education process. i Table of Contents List of Tables…………………………………………………………………………………….iii.
