Dibenzimidazolium Salts And Their Interactions With 1,5-Dinaphtho-38-Crown-10, David B. Bernthal

Masters Theses

The use of imidazolium salts in mechanically interlocked molecules, like pseudorotaxanes, is of interest because they can be functionalized with side arms that allow for coordination chemistry. It has been previously shown that tetraakylbenzobisimidazolium salts successfully thread through crown ethers, such as 15DN38C10 or BPP34C10, to form pseudorotaxanes. As an extension of the results that were gathered about this novel template, it was our goal to explore the degree to which larger imidazolium salts interact with such crown ethers. This research focused on the interactions between 15DN38C10 and dibenzimidazolium cations that were tetra-substituted with methyl groups, butyl groups, and benzyl …

Electrochemical Characterization Of Thin-Film Perovskite-Type La1-Xsrxmno3 Electrodes Obtained By Pulsed Laser Deposition (Pld), Keerthi Chandra

Masters Theses

The implementation of fuel cells into commercial usage is prenominally dependent on the activity of cathode at which oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) takes place. Fuel cells currently use noble metals like platinum, palladium etc as cathode for the reduction reaction. These metals showed poor performance during changes in red ox environment. Perovskite oxides which were proven to be efficient as cathodes in solid oxide fuel cells operating at high temperature was studied to understand its ability to carry out ORR in alkaline fuel cells operating at room temperature.

Exploring Phenyl Embrace Interactions In Trityloxy And Tritylamino Aromatic Compounds, Premnath Basa

Masters Theses

The area of supramolecular chemistry seeks to understand the organization of molecular structures and the interactions that hold such assemblies together by non-covalent interactions such as electrostatic, hydrogen bonding, π-π stacking interactions, and hydrophobic or solvatophobic effects. One such example that comes under supramolecular chemistry is the phenyl embrace interaction. These interactions occur due to the cooperative participation of at least three or more neighboring phenyl groups arranged as an interlocking propeller configuration to give complementary edge-to-face or offset face-to-face interactions. In order to understand the effect of functional groups on the tendencies of organic compounds to form phenyl embrace …
