CLASSIFICATION, SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF PYRIDYL PORPHYRIN FRAMEWORKS

Lucas D. DeVries, M.S. University of Nebraska, 2010 Adviser: Wonyoung Choe

Structural analysis of a solid-state material is vital because the structure often determines the physical (or chemical) properties of the material. An understanding of the relationship between structural components and bulk properties can be used to design materials with specific properties. To achieve such understanding, two things are required: a rigorous structural analysis method and a study of the properties of materials with noteworthy structural features.

In this thesis, the author reviews 44 pyridyl porphyrin frameworks in an effort to determine …
