  Part One: The design

  synthesis and evaluation of novel polycyclic ‘cage’ amines derivatives as potent anti-microbial (antifungal

  antibacterial and anti-tuberculosis) agents. The polycyclic ‘cage’ moieties investigated in this study includes adamantane

  trishomocubane

  oxa-pentacycloundecane

  aza-pentacycloundecane

  pentacyclodecane and pentacycloundecane. \nPart Two: Structural elucidation (using 2D NMR techniques) of synthesized novel polycyclic ‘cage’ amine derivatives. \nPart Three: The design

  synthesis and NMR elucidation of a family of novel PCU\ndiamine ligands

  THE SASOL POST-GRADUATE MEDALS\nThe medals shall be known as the Sasol Post-Graduate Medals of the South African Chemical Institute. The medals are struck in silver

  and bears the SASOL logo on the obverse

  and the Institute’s name and crest

  together with the name of the recipient and the date on the reverse. The medals shall be awarded to students engaged in research towards an MSc or PhD degree at a University

  or a MTech or DTech degree at a Technikon. The number of medals awarded shall \nnot exceed five per annum

  and the awards are limited to one per institution. The recipients of the award shall be known as The Sasol Post-Graduate Medallists. Past Sasol Post-Graduate Medallists are not eligible for nomination for a second award of the medal. The medal shall be accompanied by a monetary award to the value of R2000

  together with a suitably inscribed scroll. The persons nominated should be considered as being “young innovative chemists”. The \ncharacteristics of such a person are: Innovation

  Independence

  Enterprise.
