"RuBisCO-inspired CO2 capture and release (CCR) systems featuring amines have been developed for the purpose of reversable CO2 capture from air. The enzyme active site consists of the tetrapeptide sequence Lys-Asp-Asp-Glu. The Lys sidechain amine undergoes carbamylation and an Mg2+ cation stabilizes the resulting carbamate. The Na-acyl-lysinyl-aspratyl-aspartyl-glutamide (Lys-Asp-Asp-Glu, KDDE) peptide featured maximum capture at pH ≈ 10; a pH region too high for Mg2+ ions to remain in solution. This work aims to achieve pKa depression by introducing fluorine in the proximity of the lysine’s sidechain amine. A comparative analysis was made of butylamine, …
Relating Detonation Parameters To The Detonation Synthesis Of Nanomaterials, Martin Langenderfer
Relating Detonation Parameters To The Detonation Synthesis Of Nanomaterials, Martin Langenderfer
Doctoral Dissertations
“This research investigates the physical and chemical processes that contribute to the detonation synthesis of silicon carbide nanoparticles. Bulk production of SiC nanoparticles through detonation is possible due to pressures achieved over 20 GPa and temperatures over 2000 K as well as quenching rates in excess of 13 billion K/second. These conditions catalyze reaction and bottom-up molecular growth while retaining particles < 100 nm in diameter. In this work, detonation synthesis of SiC was demonstrated by incorporation of polycarbosilane, an SiC precursor material, into an RDX/TNT explosive matrix prior to detonation. Detonation Synthesis of SiC was also accomplished by reacting elemental silicon with carbon liberated by the detonation of negatively oxygen balanced TNT. Hydrodynamic simulation of a 60:40 mass ratio RDX/TNT detonation created conditions thermodynamically suitable to produce cubic silicon carbide within the first 500 nanoseconds after the passage of the detonation wave while carbon remains chemically reactive for molecular formation. Simulations and experimental tests indicated that loading configuration and impedance mismatch of the precursor additives used in detonation synthesis results in conditions in the additives that exceed the accepted detonation pressure of the explosive by greater than three times. Finally, a full factorial experimental design showed increasing silicon concentration, reducing silicon size, and reducing oxygen balance by adjusting the ratio of RDX to TNT decreased the explosives detonation pressure by 20% and increased the soot yield and concentration of SiC observed in the detonation products by 82% and 442% respectively”--Abstract, page iv.
The Benefit Of Precise Chemical Shift And Concentration Referencing In Nmr Applications, Ming Huang
The Benefit Of Precise Chemical Shift And Concentration Referencing In Nmr Applications, Ming Huang
Doctoral Dissertations
“In Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, the chemical shift and intensity of NMR signals provide critical information about a sample's molecular structure, reaction conditions, and material properties. For the precise determination of structures and properties, it is critical to know sample or reaction conditions such as temperature, pH, concentration, or absolute amount of material. Chemical-shift and signal-intensity calibrations play a key role for extracting the maximum amount of information from NMR experiments. In this dissertation, internal and external reference standards are used to calibrate NMR spectra with respect to chemical shift and signal intensity. Sealed capillary tubes filled with specific …

High Level Thermochemical And Spectroscopic Computations For Molecules Relevant To Combustion And The Atmosphere, Bradley K. Welch
Doctoral Dissertations
"Computational thermochemistry can be a complicated multistep process, but in recent years has become an equal partner with experiment. Many important molecules in combustion systems or in the atmosphere (such as short-lived radicals) are difficult to study experimentally. Predicting highly accurate thermochemistry is a key aspect in understanding these species. In this project, computational thermochemistry was developed into an automated streamlined procedure and then used to understand the methyl and ethyl peroxy families of radicals. This effort involved optimizing a standard workflow for computational thermochemistry. Computational thermochemistry generally requires numerous individual calculations whose cost and scalings vary widely. Conducting such …

"A new nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging protocol has been developed to independently record the x, y, and z components of the nuclear net magnetization at any point in a pulse sequence while eliminating the observation of the other components. This protocol provides an experimental method of tracking magnetization which then can be used in conjunction with theoretical models to scrutinize the predicted outcome of each step in an NMR pulse sequence and potentially find further improvements to their effectiveness and efficiency. The protocol utilizes a rapid rotating-frame imaging pulse-train technique to obtain RF-field (B1) and resonance-offset (ΔB …

Doctoral Dissertations
"With the introduction of the Chirped Pulse-Fourier Transform Microwave Spectrometer in the past decade, it has become possible to rapidly study the rotational spectra of molecules in the gas phase. It is possible to study molecules that are not normally in the gas phase through the use of various sourcing techniques. The development of both the heated nozzle and the laser ablation sourcing techniques allow for the study of liquids and solids, respectively. The design and performance of these sources will be presented in detail and discussed. Additionally, the development of a Multi-Antennae detection scheme, useful in improving overall sensitivity …
Cappack Devices For The Evaluation Of Parameters And Pulse Performances In Liquid And Solid-State Nmr Spectroscopy, Lingyu Chi
Doctoral Dissertations
"NMR spectroscopy is a powerful analytical tool to obtain explicit information about molecular structures, conformations, dynamics, and functions. To extract the desired information most accurately, NMR reference standards and devices are needed for calibrating the spectrometer hardware, generating reference data for the NMR software, and testing the applicability of pulse sequences. In this dissertation, the CapPack (Capillary-tube Package) platform is introduced which provides well-defined external reference and calibration standards for liquid and solid-state NMR applications. CapPacks consist of one or more permanently sealed capillary tubes that, depending on the intended application, come arranged in different geometries such as side-by-side or …
