The Use Of Flexible Organic And Inorganic Building Blocks In Complex Metal- Organic Frameworks, Sahar Yahia Rajeh
The Use Of Flexible Organic And Inorganic Building Blocks In Complex Metal- Organic Frameworks, Sahar Yahia Rajeh
Theses and Dissertations
Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are new class of hybrid materials that draw the attention of scientists to discover new properties that help in many fields. The structural diversity of MOFs is accessible by incorporating different organic linkers to the same metal cluster. In this work, we reacted seven flexible organic linkers with different lengths varying from 4-carbons to 10-carbons to a copper-paddlewheel metal cluster. The flexibility of the linkers make the confirmation of MOFs a challenge, although we were able to prepare a new crystalline MOF from a 5-carbon organic linker with two different copper-clusters. Another MOF in powder form …

Control Of Irradiation Wavelength And Quantum Yield Of Photocleavable Cages, Jingxuan Ma
Theses and Dissertations
An important component of biological research is the precise regulation of biomolecules in their physiological environment. Recent advances in neuroscience, have made it possible to regulate the activity of neurotransmitters using photocleavable protecting groups (PPGs), which are also known as cages. This enables the use of light as a trigger to activate selected neurons via photo release of agonists with precise control of timing as well as synaptic site, popularly referred to as spatiotemporal control. In recent years, a variety of PPGs have been developed and applied to biomolecular cages. PPGs can be classified according to their absorption wavelengths (from …
Development Of Diagnostic Tools And Analysis Of The Density Functional Theory Zoo, Pierpaolo Morgante
Development Of Diagnostic Tools And Analysis Of The Density Functional Theory Zoo, Pierpaolo Morgante
Theses and Dissertations
The main goal of this dissertation is to give an overview of existing and new databases for density functional theory (DFT). It describes the procedures used to introduce A Collection of Chemistry DataBases (ACCDB) and its reduction to a smaller and statistically significant database called A Small(er) Collection of DataBase (ASCDB). Also, it presents an application of such databases in chemical education through the introduction of a notebook of twelve exercises that can easily complement a computational chemistry class. In addition, a new database of molecules having carbon-carbon long bonds (CLB18) is presented. Last, the databases are used in the …
