Structure And Stability Of Hexacoordinated Sila Dianions, Mark S. Gordon, Marshall T. Carroll, Larry P. Davis, Larry W. Burggraf
Structure And Stability Of Hexacoordinated Sila Dianions, Mark S. Gordon, Marshall T. Carroll, Larry P. Davis, Larry W. Burggraf
Mark S. Gordon
The structures and stabilities of hexacoordinated silicon-containing dianions SiX6 2- have been investigated by using both ab initio (X= H, F) and semiempirical AMI (X= H, F, OH, Me, Cl) calculations. Both methods predict the hexacoordinated structures to be minima on the potential energy surfaces, although the semiempirical barriers for the reactions SiX6 2- -+ Six5- + x- appear to be rather overestimated based on the ab initio results for X = H, F. The positive charge on the central silicon atom actually increases as the number of ligands increases, and the role of d orbitals on that atom appears …
Theoretical Study Of Pseudorotation Of Pentacoordinated Silicon Anions: The Prototypical Sih5-, Mark S. Gordon, Theresa L. Windus, Larry W. Burggraf, Larry P. Davis
Theoretical Study Of Pseudorotation Of Pentacoordinated Silicon Anions: The Prototypical Sih5-, Mark S. Gordon, Theresa L. Windus, Larry W. Burggraf, Larry P. Davis
Mark S. Gordon
Ab initio and semiempirical calculations are used to analyze the minimum energy path for the pseudorotation of SiH5-. Both AMI and MP2/6-31++G(d,p) predict pseudorotation barriers of 2.4 kcal/mol. A decomposition of the projected vibrational frequencies along the path is used to assist in the interpretation of the process.
Argon-Photoion–Auger-Electron Coincidence Measurements Following K-Shell Excitation By Synchrotron Radiation, Jon C. Levin, C. Biedermann, N. Keller, L. Liljeby, C.-S. O, R. T. Short, Ivan A. Sellin, Dennis W. Lindle
Argon-Photoion–Auger-Electron Coincidence Measurements Following K-Shell Excitation By Synchrotron Radiation, Jon C. Levin, C. Biedermann, N. Keller, L. Liljeby, C.-S. O, R. T. Short, Ivan A. Sellin, Dennis W. Lindle
Chemistry and Biochemistry Faculty Research
Argon photoion spectra have been obtained for the first time in coincidence with K-LL and K-LM Auger electrons, as a function of photon energy. The simplified charge distributions which result exhibit a much more pronounced photon-energy dependence than do the more complicated noncoincident spectra. In the near-K-threshold region, Rydberg shakeoff of np levels, populated by resonant excitation of K electrons, occurs with significant probability, as do double-Auger processes and recapture of the K photoelectron through postcollision interaction.
A Potentiometric Gaseous Hydrogen Sensor, Anne Guillory
A Potentiometric Gaseous Hydrogen Sensor, Anne Guillory
Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations
The development of a potentiometric gaseous hydrogen sensor using a 75% palladium - 25% silver alloy as a selectively hydrogen permeable electrode is described. The sensor showed some promise when used with a molten base electrolyte. Other electrolytes are investigated at ambient and higher temperatures. Various cell designs including a platinum/silver-silver chloride sensor with a gel electrolyte are discussed.
A Pulse Gas Chromatographic Method For Determining The Dispersion And Surface Area Of Co Oxidation Catalysts, Susan Kay Ohorodnik
A Pulse Gas Chromatographic Method For Determining The Dispersion And Surface Area Of Co Oxidation Catalysts, Susan Kay Ohorodnik
Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations
Catalysts composed of platinum and/or palladium on tin(IV) oxide supports with or without silica gel have been developed for the recombination of carbon monoxide and oxygen to form carbon dioxide for use in carbon dioxide lasers. A pulse gas chromatographic method has been developed to measure the chemisorption properties of the catalysts. From the chemisorption measurements, the active surface area and dispersion of the catalysts have been determined.
The Reaction Of Organoboranes With N-Chloro-N-Sodiocarbamates: A Convenient Synthesis Of N-Alkylcarbamates, Nanette M. Wachter-Jurcsak
The Reaction Of Organoboranes With N-Chloro-N-Sodiocarbamates: A Convenient Synthesis Of N-Alkylcarbamates, Nanette M. Wachter-Jurcsak
Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations
N-alkylcarbamic acid esters are used extensively as fungicides, herbicides and pesticides. Industrial methods of preparation employ highly toxic reagents in their synthesis. Convenient and safe alternative methods are necessary.
Organoboranes are electrophilic compounds which can be employed as a source of alkyl substituents. They have been shown to successfully transfer alkyl groups to the nitrogen of chloramines. N-Alkylation of carbamic acid esters by reacting the corresponding N-chloro-N-sodiocarbamate with a variety of trialkylboranes is described. The yields of the various N-substituted products are discussed.
Two synthetic methods were devised. Originally, an equivalent of the isolated N-chlorocarbamate salt was added to the …
Evaluation Of The Function Exp (X2) Erfc (X) To Higher Precisions For Higher-Order Derivative Polarography Of Ce-Type Electrode Process, Myung-Hoon Kim, Veriti P. Smith, Tae-Kee Hong
Evaluation Of The Function Exp (X2) Erfc (X) To Higher Precisions For Higher-Order Derivative Polarography Of Ce-Type Electrode Process, Myung-Hoon Kim, Veriti P. Smith, Tae-Kee Hong
Chemistry & Biochemistry Faculty Publications
The function exp(x2)erfc(x), which is often encountered in studies of electrode kinetics, is evaluated to an extended precision with 32 significant decimal digits in order to find theoretical relationships used in derivative polarography/voltammetry for a chemically-coupled electrode process. Computations with a lower precision are not successful. Evaluation of the function is accomplished by using three types of expansions for the function. Best ranges of arguments are selected for each equation for particular precisions for efficiencies. The method is successfully applied to calculate higher-order derivatives of the current-potential curves in all potential ranges for a reversible electron transfer reaction coupled with …
Path Integral Study Of The Correlated Electronic States Of Na4–Na6, Randall W. Hall
Path Integral Study Of The Correlated Electronic States Of Na4–Na6, Randall W. Hall
Collected Faculty and Staff Scholarship
Feynman’s path integral formulation of quantum mechanics is used to study the correlated electronic states of Na4–Na6. Two types of simulations are performed: in the first, the nuclei are allowed to move at finite temperature in order to find the most stable geometries. In agreement with previous calculations, we find that planar structures are the most stable and that there is significant vibrational amplitude at finite temperatures, indicating that the Born–Oppenheimer surface is relatively flat. In the second type of simulation, the nuclei are held fixed at symmetric and asymmetric geometries and the correlated electron density is found. Our results …

Coincidence Orientations Of Crystals In Tetragonal Systems, With Applications To Yba2cu3o7, Abha Singh, N. Chandrasekhar, Alexander H. King
Alexander H. King
We have developed a method for the characterization of coincidence-site lattices (CSL's) in tetragonal or near-tetragonal orthorhombic structures, by suitable modifications to the method of Grimmer & Warrington [Acta Cryst. (1987), A43, 232-243]. We have applied our method to determine coincidence rotations and the associated information appropriate for forming constrained CSL's in the high-To superconductor YBazCu307-n. The unit cell is orthorhombic with lattice parameters a = 3.82, b = 3"89 and c = 11.67 A for the nominal composition. We present tables of coincidence rotation angles, .Z, CSL, DSCL and associated step vectors up to ,~ = 50. We find …
