Honors Capstone Projects - All

Inorganic chemistry is essential to the formulation and improvement of modern materials such as catalysts, semiconductors, optical devices, super conductors, and advanced ceramic materials.¹ New areas of inorganic chemistry are constantly being explored and new and often unusual inorganic compounds are constantly being synthesized and identified.¹ Recently the field of inorganic chemistry has witnessed the synthesis and characterization of microporous metal organic framework compounds (MOFs). Microporous organic/inorganic materials have a wide range of physical properties as well as applications. The physical properties and applications drive the investigation into the synthesis and discovery of new and useful hybrid MOF …
