Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
The chemistry of the alkaline earth metals has received a renewed interest in the last decades. The lighter Group 2 metal, magnesium, has gathered the most attention, as it is a key component of Grignard reagents, while the heavier metals have been less studied. The early alkaline earth metals are known to exhibit some similarity with both the alkali and lanthanide metals in π-complexation reactions with planar aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). However, the products of heavier Group 2 elements such as strontium and barium were found to be more difficult to synthesize and isolate, thus requiring the development of new synthetic …

β-Diketones are well known to form metal complexes with practically every known metal and metalloid. Metal complexes of fluorinated β-diketones generally exhibit increased volatility and thermal stability compared to the non-fluorinated analogues, and thus are used extensively in various chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes for the deposition of metal, simple or mixed metal oxides, and fluorine-doped metal oxide thin films. Furthermore, the electron-withdrawing nature of the fluorinated ligand enhances the Lewis acidity of a coordinatively unsaturated metal center which facilitates additional coordination reactions. The physical and structural properties of fluorinated β-diketonate complexes are discussed in Chapter 1 …

Mixed Ligand Approach To Design Heterometallic Single-Source Precursors For Low-Temperature Preparation Of Oxide Materials, Craig Matthew Lieberman
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
There is a considerable interest in the use of metal oxides for development of novel high-technological materials such as gas sensors, multiferroics, and electrocatalysts. In particular, the design of complex oxides, which incorporate more than one type of metal atom, is focused on enriching chemical and physical properties of the target materials and allowing for increased functionality. In order to replace the harsh conditions associated with traditional synthetic routes that often require high temperatures and/or pressures, new soft chemistry methods for the preparation of mixed-metal oxide materials have been developed. One of the most promising directions is the emergence of …
