“…15-16, 18, 20-21 Since its introduction by Harman and Taube, the {Os(NH3)5} 2+ fragment has produced a variety of interesting η 2 -aromatic complexes (Scheme 2). 5,[22][23] These complexes differed from previous literature reports of dihaptocoordinated aromatics, [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39] in that they are thermally stable and are able to undergo a variety of chemical reactions. 1,5 With the demonstrated efficacy of the {Os(NH3)5} 2+ system to yield novel chemistry, the synthetic utility of π-basic dearomatization methodologies was established.…”

ii I am fortunate to have so many people to thank. I truly would not be here, having written all of the pages before you if it weren't for the huge amounts of love and support that I have received from so many along the way. Most of the people listed in this section know that I have a difficult time expressing my feelings. I will attempt to overcome that difficulty here and hopefully give a small amount of something back to all those who have contributed so much to me. I know that I will not do justice to the feelings that I have, but will try my best to express them here. With that in mind, know that as you read on that this was the most difficult, and time consuming part of my thesis to write. It is because I have been fortunate enough to come into contact with a great many wonderful people that any of the subsequent chapters exist; so to say that these acknowledgements are the foundation of my thesis would be an understatement.So here we go. I will start with those who have supported me from the start, my parents. My parents have always encouraged, nurtured, loved and supported me in any venture that I have undertaken. As teachers, they have shown me the importance of education in so many ways. As their way of life, in their professional lives, and also at home. They always stressed the importance of reading, but also looked to establish education in other less traditional ways. These have included travel, and along the way sparked my love of both history and the outdoors, which have continued to be passions of mine to this day. Through my parents I also learned a great deal about the world around me that was not covered in the classroom curriculum. Learning how to build and fix things from my Dad has been a skill that has helped me countless times throughout life, although it also came with the unfortunate side effect of having to constantly fix the rotovap. My Dad also instilled in me the time and money sinks of boating and woodworking, both of which have given me countless hours of joy, and a means of finding peace at stressful times in my life as an adult. In the classroom my parents taught me to iii appreciate all subjects, which I did (except for English class, I hate grammar as anyone at Dean's writing workshop could tell you). This eventually led me to chemistry, which astonished my parents. I went off to college and pursued chemistry, becoming more interested as classes progressed, although I still could not shake my humanities leaning, and ended up with degrees in both chemistry and history.My parents continued to give me support when I set off for Charlottesville. They helped in my apartment search and moving the large amount of stuff that I had accumulated. They then made several house hunting trips, and we drove circles around Charlottesville and the surrounding counties. When I finally bought my first home in the spring of my first year, they both used nearly all of their vacation time to come down and help me with the seemingly endless remodels. I never could have finished it without them. All ...
