N-Heterocyclic and Mesoionic Carbene Complexes of Rhodium and Palladium: Coordination Chemistry and Catalysis
(2015-05-04)Dimeric rhodium N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes [Rh(NHC)(C2H4)Cl]2 react with a variety of other neutral donors to form heteroleptic complexes [(L)Rh(NHC)(C2H4)Cl] (L = phosphine, pyridine) or [(L)Rh(NHC)Cl] (L = ... -
N-Heterocyclic Carbene and Thiol Micropatterns Enable the Selective Deposition and Transfer of Copper Films
(Royal Society of Chemistty, 2019-12-24)Microcontact printed patterns of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) and thiols were prepared on gold substrates and utilized as templates for the creation of metallic Cu structures using electroplating. The presence of the NHC ... -
N-Heterocyclic Carbene as Self-Assembled Monolayers on Gold and Carbon
N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have been shown to be exceptional ligands for molecular coordination chemistry due to their ability to form strong carbon-metal bonds. Only recent, our group and others have demonstrated that ... -
N-Heterocyclic Carbene Borenium Ions: Decomposition Pathways and Applications in Organic Synthesis
Borocations have been synthetically accessible entities for over 35 years, thought of as chemical curiosities too reactive to be synthetically useful until recently. Our group has contributed to the development of a class ... -
N-heterocyclic Carbene Synthesis Towards Self-Assembled Monolayers on Gold
Modifying surfaces with self assembled monolayers (SAMs) is a simple and effective way to create functional materials. Traditionally compounds containing a thiol head group are used to generate SAMs on gold surfaces. ... -
N-Heterocyclic carbenes as novel ligands for metal surfaces, nanoparticles and nanoclusters
N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are carbon-based organic molecules that have been extensively employed as ligands for transition metal complexes for the past twenty years. They form stable metal complexes that can be used ... -
N^N- and N^C Chelate Four-Coordinate Organoboron Compounds: Synthesis, Properties and Applications
(2013-04-24)This thesis concerns the synthesis of N^N- and N^C-chelate four coordinate organoboron compounds and the investigation of their photophysical and photochemical properties. The preparation of a novel BODIPY derivative ... -
Names Versus Numbers: Exploring how planning for social inclusion could help alleviate the stigmatization of poverty in a small town
(2019-06-04)While poverty is often measured and understood as a comparison of income or lack of material goods, literature reveals the importance in understanding intangible elements of one’s well-being, such as happiness, self-esteem ... -
Nanoelectromechanical Studies of Suspended Resonators using Graphene grown by Chemical Vapour Deposition
Graphene is an ideal material for high quality nanoelectromechanical resonators due to its high Young's modulus, low mass to surface ratio, ability to sustain high in-plane strain, and unique electrical properties like ... -
Nanoplasmonic Sensors Based on Chirped Crossed Surface Relief Gratings
This work presents a new type of nano-plasmonic sensor based on crossed surface relief gratings (CSRGs) with gradually varying pitch generated on top an azobenzene thin films using a 532 nm laser and a modified Lloyd mirror ... -
Naptime in Full-Day Kindergarten
(2014-05-28)The Ontario Ministry of Education’s guidelines for full-day kindergarten do not specifically mention naptime (Ontario Ministry of Education, 2010). This study sought to address the issue of naptime in full-day kindergarten. ... -

A NARRATIVE APPROACH TO UNDERSTANDING NURSE EDUCATORS’ EXPERIENCES OF TEACHING DISASTER NURSING TO UNDERGRADUATE NURSING STUDENTS IN ONTARIO
Disasters across the globe occurring with increasing frequency and devastation require an immediate response to mitigate social and economic upheaval. Nursing plays a key role in disaster management from beginning to end: ... -
A Narrative Approach to Understanding the Experience of Becoming and Being a Nurse: Professional Identity Formation Among New Nurses
Research into how nurses form their professional identity is crucial to the development of the nursing profession as well as to understanding the factors that contribute to transition to practice and retention of new nurses. ... -
