Electrophilic ‘Umpolung’ Cyclizations of Alkynes in the Synthesis of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons
(University of Waterloo, 2021-05-12)Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), such as acenes and phenacenes, are important structural motifs which have found great utility in the future of electronics as organic semi-conducting materials. Reliable methods of ... -
Environmental Photoinduced Toxicity of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons: Occurrence and Toxicity of Photomodified PAHs and Predictive Modeling of Photoinduced Toxicity
(University of Waterloo, 2005)Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants known for their photoinduced toxicity. There are two mechanisms through which this may occur: photosensitization and photomodification. ...
