Luminescent Metal-Organic Frameworks For The Detection Of Alcohols, Lucas Stehle, Kristi A. Kneas, Jeffrey A. Rood
Summer Scholarship, Creative Arts and Research Projects (SCARP)
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), porous materials composed of metal ions and organic linkers, have broad applications in separation, small molecule storage, and catalysis. Luminescent metal-organic frameworks (LMOFs) hold great potential in the development of sensors, and, with their relatively straightforward syntheses that produce predictable, homogeneous, extended structures, should result in good sensor-to-sensor reproducibility and uniform response. In addition, subtle differences in overall LMOF structure, metal ion coordination, pore surfaces, and host-guest interactions within pores should have significant impact on observed photoluminescence and provide numerous strategies for analyte detection, which shows promise for the detection of alcohols. Highlighted here is the development …
Synthesis And Characterization Of Oxovanadium Compounds As Potential Insulin Mimetic Molecules, Kaitlyn Mercando, Jeffrey A. Rood
Synthesis And Characterization Of Oxovanadium Compounds As Potential Insulin Mimetic Molecules, Kaitlyn Mercando, Jeffrey A. Rood
Summer Scholarship, Creative Arts and Research Projects (SCARP)
Oxovanadium(IV) complexes have numerous applications in diverse areas such as catalysts for organic transformations and as anti-fungal agents. Complexes that this research focused on have shown potential in acting as insulin mimetics. The goal of this research was to synthesis and fully characterize a new series of oxovanadium complexes and then investigate the insulin mimetic properties of the complexes with adipose cell culture work. Vanadyl complexes involving a series of salicylaldiminato ligands [C6H5N=CHC6H4OH (L1), 2,6-iPrC6H3N=CHC6H4OH (L2), C6H5N=CH-3,5-tBu2C6H2OH (L3) and 2,6-iPrC6H3N=CH-3,5-tBu2C6H2OH (L4)] were synthesized and structurally characterized. The ligand set was investigated due to the ease of sterically tuning the substituents …
Incorporation Of Luminescent Osmium Complexes Into Metal-Organic Frameworks: Optimization Of Osmium Complex Synthesis And Effect Of Mof Structure On Complex Inclusion And Emission, Brandon A. Molina, Lucas Stehle, Jeffrey A. Rood
Incorporation Of Luminescent Osmium Complexes Into Metal-Organic Frameworks: Optimization Of Osmium Complex Synthesis And Effect Of Mof Structure On Complex Inclusion And Emission, Brandon A. Molina, Lucas Stehle, Jeffrey A. Rood

Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are materials that contain metal centers coordinated by organic molecules that form an extended, porous lattice. These MOFs are of interest in the field of sensing for their unique properties such as high stability, high surface area, high crystallinity, and ability to perform small molecule exchange. Luminescent metal-organic frameworks (LMOFs) are of specific interest since they contain the potential to detect odorless volatile organic compounds (VOCs) via adsorption into the porous framework. Luminescent properties can be imparted to MOFs in several ways. This project focused on the inclusion of a luminescent osmium complex into the MOF scaffold. …

Sector: A Web-Based Data Management And Sharing System Secured By Blockchain, Matthew Grohotolski
Summer Scholarship, Creative Arts and Research Projects (SCARP)
Since the advent of technology, securely transferring data between two computers over the internet has been a difficult task. This is especially true for organizations and universities who want to take advantage of technology to securely transfer or share data. Although many file transfer services exist, none have achieved secure transfers while also offering a friendly and easy-to-use user interface. SECTOR uses an existing secure transfer service called Globus to conduct secure file transfers and has built a safe and secure user permissions system on top of their functionality. All data used by SECTOR is stored on a distributed ledger …
