Synthesis And Surface Modification Of Azide Decorated Silver Nanoclusters, Alexander H. Stöckli
Synthesis And Surface Modification Of Azide Decorated Silver Nanoclusters, Alexander H. Stöckli
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
In nanocluster research, easy modification of the cluster surface while maintaining the cluster core remains a key challenge. Herein we report the synthesis, structure, and properties of four targeted Ag20 nanoclusters (NCs) with surface azide moieties, two of which have 8 azide moieties, [CO3@Ag20(StBu)10(m-N3-C6H4COO)8(DMF)4] and [CO3@Ag20(StBu)10(p-N3-C6H4COO)8(DMF)4], and two of which have 6 azide moieties, [CO3@Ag20(S …
The Synthesis, Lewis Acidity And Catalytic Activity Of Bis(Catecholato)Germanes, Andrew T. Henry
The Synthesis, Lewis Acidity And Catalytic Activity Of Bis(Catecholato)Germanes, Andrew T. Henry
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Main group Lewis acids have been shown to be viable alternatives to state-of-theart transition metal catalysts. While extensive research into a variety of p-block Lewis acids have been reported, the field of germanium Lewis acid chemistry has been described as “almost non-existent”. A variety of bis(catecholato)germane derivatives have been synthesized. The Lewis acidity of these compounds was analyzed by the Gutmann-Beckett and fluoride ion affinity methods demonstrating the high Lewis acidity of these complexes. The bis(catecholato)germanes were utilized as Lewis acid catalysts for the hydrosilylation of aldehydes, the hydroboration of alkynes, Friedel-Crafts alkylation of alkenes, and the oligomerization of styrene …
The Coordination Chemistry And Reactivity Of Pd Phosphine 1-Azaallyl Complexes, Kyle M. Jackman
The Coordination Chemistry And Reactivity Of Pd Phosphine 1-Azaallyl Complexes, Kyle M. Jackman
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Structurally responsive ligands (SRLs) are a class of ligands that change their coordination mode with a metal centre, which permits reactions that are difficult with non-SRLs, allow access to unique mechanisms, and allow isolation of unusual coordination complexes. The 1-azaallyl (1-AzA) family of SRLs are capable of isomerizing between η3-NCC and κ1-N modes that occupy two and one coordination sites, respectively. This thesis investigates a new class of phosphine 1^AzA (P^AzA) ligands and the reactivity of their coordination complexes with palladium.
The first-generation P^AzA ligand contains a phenyl linkage between the two heteroatoms and affords a …
Bismuth Binding In Human Metallothionein, Emily M. Toswell
Bismuth Binding In Human Metallothionein, Emily M. Toswell
Undergraduate Student Research Internships Conference
Bismuth metal is one of the least toxic heavy metals for humans. It is used in a wide variety of applications including organic synthesis, cosmetics and pharmaceutical applications. In biomedicine, bismuth is a therapeutic metal used in metallodrugs such as Pepto Bismol for its antimicrobial and antibacterial properties. Metallothionein (MT) is a cysteine rich protein found in the liver, kidneys, brain and central nervous system. MT can bind a variety of metals including essential metals such as zinc and copper. This research investigates the binding pathway of Bi[EDTA]- with fully metallated Zn7MT by using mass-spectrometry and UV-vis absorption.
Design And Surface Modification Of Noble Metal-Based Nanocatalysts, Xuchun Wang
Design And Surface Modification Of Noble Metal-Based Nanocatalysts, Xuchun Wang
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
This thesis investigates approaches to modifying the surface structure of noble metal-based nanocatalysts. Noble metal-based nanocatalysts, such as Pt and Pd, play a significant role in heterogeneous catalysis due to their capabilities in activating the cleavage or formation of chemical bonds, but still suffer from the high-cost issue and unsatisfied catalytic performance due to too strong or too weak adsorption of intermediates. Considering the surface specificity of heterogeneous catalysis, Bi, a cheap metal, was used to modify the surface of Pt- and Pd-based nanocatalysts. This thesis aims to unveil the role of Bi in improving their catalytic performance from both …
Investigating The Influence Of Synthetic Environments On The Electronic Structure And Luminescence Of Cr-Doped Zinc Gallate, Xincheng Li
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Cr doped ZnGa2O4 (Cr-ZGO) has shown potential in the field of bioimaging. To achieve the nano-size suiting for bioimaging, Cr-ZGO is normally synthesized using a hydrothermal method. There are few studies on how the hydrothermal conditions influence the structure and optical properties of the Cr-ZGO. The first two parts of this thesis study how different hydrothermal temperatures and pH environments will affect the optical properties of Cr-ZGO by photoluminescence spectroscopy. By combining the electronic structure information extracted from X-ray absorption near-edge structures (XANES) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS), a relationship among hydrothermal conditions, optical properties …
Solid State Nmr Spectroscopic Characterization Of Metal Organic Frameworks, Vinicius Martins
Solid State Nmr Spectroscopic Characterization Of Metal Organic Frameworks, Vinicius Martins
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Metal-organic frameworks are porous organic-inorganic materials that have attracted enormous attention due to their promising capabilities for several technologies, including carbon dioxide capture and storage, gas separation, and heterogeneous catalysis. The performance of MOFs for these applications is directly linked to their properties and, by extension, structures. Therefore, it is essential to understand the structure – property relationship. Solid-state NMR (SSNMR) spectroscopy is a technique that provides complementary information to X-ray diffraction-based techniques. SSNMR can provide short-range information around the NMR-active nucleus of interest. Furthermore, SSNMR can provide additional information regarding host-guest interactions and dynamics of adsorbed molecules, which play …
