To further advance energy storage materials research, the structural studies of carbonaceous compounds intercalated with alkali and alkaline earth metal ions are of great interest and importance. Structure-property relationships of electrode and superconductive materials can be better understood with the gained fundamental knowledge stemming from a synergistic use of solid state and solution studies. Due to the polymeric structures and insolubility in common solvent of intercalated carbonaceous materials, studies of structures and properties must be conducted on smaller subunits. Planar polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) can serve as models for the infinite π-carbon layers of graphite or graphene, while nonplanar PAHs …
Bowl-Shaped Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons (Buckybowls) : Crystal Packing And Metal Binding Reactions, Alexander S. Filatov
Bowl-Shaped Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons (Buckybowls) : Crystal Packing And Metal Binding Reactions, Alexander S. Filatov
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
This work is a part of a broad program in our laboratory dedicated to the investigation of a new class of non-planar polyaromatic hydrocarbons that map onto the surfaces of fullerenes (and referred to as buckybowls). It focuses on the preparation of buckybowls, their molecular and solid state structures, and reactivity in metal binding reactions. For the first time, the structures of all available buckybowls have been analyzed using X-ray diffraction data collected in the course of this work, as well as data previously obtained in our group or reported by others (and dearchived from the Cambridge Structural Database). Forces …
