Novel Materials For Use In Homeland Security Research, Jason Osgood Ewen Young

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Organometallic pyridazines and compounds derived from them have been of interest in polymer research due to their atypical environmental stability (as compared to other non-aromatic organic semiconductors) as well as their conductivity. The off-metal synthesis and characterization of several pyridazyl thallium, manganese, and rhenium complexes, beginning with fulvenes 1,2- C5H3(COHR)(COR), are reported here. The diacyl fulvenes were treated with hydrazine hydrate to ring close to pyridazines. Next, the pyridazines were converted to their respective thallium salts through treatment with thallium (I) ethoxide. Lastly, the salts were transmetallated into the respective rhenium or manganese complexes through treatment with the respective metal …

An alarming number of abandoned properties in the United States stifle community productivity and pose serious health risks. Changes in environmental liability laws may effectively remediate these sites, but brownfield rehabilitation requires careful cost benefit analysis on a per-site basis.
