Fabrication And Modification Of Titania Nanotube Arrays For Harvesting Solar Energy And Drug Delivery Applications, Ahmed El Ruby Abdel Rahman Mohamed
Fabrication And Modification Of Titania Nanotube Arrays For Harvesting Solar Energy And Drug Delivery Applications, Ahmed El Ruby Abdel Rahman Mohamed
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
The fast diminishing of fossil fuels in the near future, as well as the global warming caused by increasing greenhouse gases have motivated the urgent quest to develop advanced materials as cost-effective photoanodes for solar light harvesting and many other photocatalytic applications. Recently, titania nanotube arrays (TNTAs) fabricated by anodization process has attracted great interest due to their excellent properties such as: high surface area, vertically oriented, highly organized, one-dimensional, nanotubular structure, photoactivity, chemical stability and biocompatibility. This unique combination of excellent properties makes TNTAs an excellent photoanode for solar light harvesting. However, the relatively wide band gap energy of …
Studying Metal-Organic Frameworks Via Solid-State Nmr: Gas Dynamics, Structure Determination, And Phase Transition, Yue Zhang
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of microporous materials constructed from virtually endless combinations of metal centres and organic linkers. MOFs have attracted intense research interest in recent decades, since MOFs have outstanding properties such as extremely high surface area, tuneable pore topology, good stability, and many others. MOFs are also promising candidates for gas storage. In this work, solid-state NMR (SSNMR) spectroscopy has been investigated to study MOFs and their guest molecules, since SSNMR can provide information on the short-range environment about target nuclei and can also reveal the dynamics of guest molecules.
An introduction to MOFs and SSNMR …
Coordination And Organometallic Chemistry Of Novel Gallium Complexes: Synthesis, Reactivity And Spectroscopy, Jeremy L. Bourque
Coordination And Organometallic Chemistry Of Novel Gallium Complexes: Synthesis, Reactivity And Spectroscopy, Jeremy L. Bourque
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
The work described in this thesis incorporates three main themes: the synthesis and reactivity of new coordination and organometallic gallium compounds, and the chemical state determination of molecular gallium complexes using XPS and XAS. The coordination chemistry of low valent gallium cations was explored using macrocyclic ethers as ligands. The experimental oxidation number, or chemical state, of newly synthesized low valent gallium cationic complexes was compared to known compounds to allow for the assessment of the electronic environment at gallium. The organometallic chemistry of gallium was examined using donor ligands to stabilize monomeric organogallium(III) compounds, demonstrating the ability to substitute …
Dynamic Studies Of Guest Molecules In Metal-Organic Frameworks And Zeolites Via Solid-State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Bowei Wu
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are synthetic compounds with crystalline microporous structures, consisting of metal centres joined by organic linkers. Zeolites are a class of crystalline porous materials featuring negatively charged aluminosilicate frameworks and charge-balancing cations.
In this work, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR) is used to probe guest molecule locations and dynamics in MOFs and zeolites, yielding detailed informations of guest motion within these porous materials
Chapter 2 describes SSNMR dynamic studies of 13CO2, 13CO and C2D4 adsorption behaviour in the α - zinc formate MOF, [Zn3(HCOO)6], which were performed …
Determining The Reactivity And Oxidation Intermediates Of An Allylnickel (N-Heterocyclic Carbene) Chloride Complex, Scott W. E. Hendriks
Determining The Reactivity And Oxidation Intermediates Of An Allylnickel (N-Heterocyclic Carbene) Chloride Complex, Scott W. E. Hendriks
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
The oxidation of C-H bonds to carbonyl functional groups using molecular oxygen (O2) is a desirable process as O2 is environmentally benign and inexpensive. However, oxidations that employ O2 have lower product selectivity, making it industrially unappealing. The metal complexes NiCl(π-cinnamyl)(NHC) oxidize stoichiometrically with O2 as the oxidant to selectively form the ketone and aldehyde products.
This thesis details the attempted catalysis with the NiCl(π-allyl)(NHC) complex and the stoichiometric reactivity of NiCl(π-allyl)(NHC) and NiCl(π-cinnamyl)(NHC) complexes upon O2 exposure. An investigation of the intermediate and decomposition species of the NiCl(π-allyl)(NHC) complex was conducted. The complexes …
Metalation And Structural Properties Of Apo-Metallothioneins, Gordon W. Irvine
Metalation And Structural Properties Of Apo-Metallothioneins, Gordon W. Irvine
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Metals are required by a quarter of all proteins to achieve their biological function, whether in an active site involved in catalytic chemistry or in a structural capacity. Metals are tightly regulated at the cellular level due to their propensity to cause unwanted side reactions and to be scavenged for use by pathogens. One of the proteins involved in this regulation of metal homeostasis is metallothionein (MT) which is a small, cysteine rich protein primarily involved in the regulation of zinc and copper homeostasis and heavy metal detoxification. MT is unique in its high cysteine content (~30% of the residues), …

The manganese(II)‐palladium(II)‐sulfide complex [MnCl2(μ3‐S)2Pd2(dppp)2] 2 has been isolated from the reaction of [(dppp)PdCl2] with [Li(N,N’‐tmeda)]2[Mn(SSiMe3)4] 1 in a 2:1 ratio under mild conditions. The trimethylsilyl thiolate complex [(dppp)Pd(SSiMe3)2] 3 has been synthesized from the reaction of [(dppp)PdCl2] with Li[SSiMe3] as well as the reaction of [(dppp)Pd(OAc)2] with Li[SSiMe3] under mild conditions. The newly synthesized complex [(dppp)Pd(SSiMe3)2] 3 was used in reaction with the manganese(II) salt [(CH …
