Spectroscopic Study Of Ni(Ii)-4, 4’, 4’’, 4’ ’’ – Tetrasulfophthalocyanine In Aqueous Solution, Issa Ishaq Jabra

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

It was determined spectrally that a monomer-dimer equilibrium exists in aqueous solutions of Ni-TSPC^4- over a concentration range of 5 x 10^-8 – 10^-4 M. Equilibrium measurements were made under natural ionic strength conditions at 29°, 39° and 49°C. The values obtained for the equilibrium constants at 29°, 39° and 49°C were 2.4 x 10⁸, 6.6 x 10⁷ and 2.9 x 10⁷ M^-1, respectively. These results indicated that the equilibrium strongly favors dimer formation. This study also showed that nickel is second to copper in enhancing the dimerization of metallotetrasulfophthalocyanine complexes. …

Electron Transfer Reactions Of An Osmium (Ii) Polypyridyl Complex With Oxidizing Agents, Stephen Mcclanahan

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Redox rates between polypyridyl osmium (II) complex, OsCl(py)₃(bipy)⁺, with tris(1,10-phenanthroline) cobalt (III), Co(phen)₃³⁺, and Ce(IV) were examined in aqueous solution. Both reaction systems exhibited second order kinetics. The osmium (II) - cobalt (III) redox reaction was found to have a rate constant of 2.3 x 10⁵ M^-1 sec^-1 at 22°C and µ = 0.003M from which the isotopic electronic exchange rate constant for the OsCl(py)₃(bipy)^+/2+ system was estimated to be 1.5 x 10⁹ M^-1sec^-1.

Ionic strength effects on the Ce(IV) - Os(II) …

An Analysis Of Locational Aspects Of The Portland Cement Industry In Kentucky, Wayne Perkins

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Factors affecting the spatial distribution of the Portland cement industry are discussed and applied to Kentucky. Cement is found to be both raw material and market oriented and to be highly sensitive to transportation costs. Several areas in Kentucky are found to have the necessary raw materials for cement. However, only one of these sites, Louisville, has sufficient markets to support cement production; this area is served by two factories. There are no unused sites suitable for cement production in Kentucky. The Lexington area has the potential of being able to support cement production by the year 2020.

Photochemistry Of Heteroaromatic Analogs Of Β-Methyl-Β-Nitrostyrene, Dale Willis

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

2-(2-nitropropenyl)thionhene, 2-(2-nitropropenyl) pyrrole, and 2-(2-nitropropenyl) furan were prepared and irradiated in undenatured 95% ethanol and 2% aqueous acetone. The pyrrole derivative was found to undergo a slow photodecomposition to tars. The thiophene derivative produced 60% of an α-oximino ketone and 30% of an oxazine cyclization product when irradiated In ethanol. When irradiated in acetone 47% of the oxime was produced in addition to 7% of the oxazlne. The furan derivative produced 12% of an α-oximino ketone and 51% of an oxazine cyclization product when irradiated in ethanol. When irradiated in acetone 15% of the oxime and 32% of the oxazine …
