| dc.description.abstract | This thesis contains three chapters, each of which has been published in relevant journals. While the applications of each chapter are unrelated to one-another, the compounds involved fall under the broad class of cationic heteroaromatics either by using such systems directly (chapters one and two) or by forming them during investigation (chapter three). Instead of employing novel methods, the synthetic focus was to use the simplest and shortest possible routes, both to save material and extend the time available for characterization. Investigations in the first two chapters involved reduction electrochemistry, transforming the cationic heteroaromatic compounds into the analogous heteroatomic radicals or anions. How easily this could be accomplished and how long the nascent radicals/anions lived after generation drove the studies. The third chapter is unique because it involves no electrochemistry – instead solely photophysics – and starts with neutral organic compounds, generating the cationic analogues as a method of sensing metal cations. | en_US |
