Doping Of Metal Organic Framework (Uio) And For N02 Adsorption At Ambient Conditions, Amani M. Ebrahim Jan 2013

Doping Of Metal Organic Framework (Uio) And For N02 Adsorption At Ambient Conditions, Amani M. Ebrahim

Dissertations and Theses

Pollution issues and environmental concerns have led to the development of various air purification technologies. Nitrogen dioxide NO2 is one of the toxic gases in the atmosphere that is corrosive; it causes severe damage to materials, even at low concentrations. Research on the adsorption of this gas at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperatures is uncommon because of limited industrial applications. The thermal stability and microporous nature of Zirconium-based Metal Organic Framework (Zr-MOF) UiO-66 and UiO-67 make them good candidates for metal or amine decoration. The objective of this work was to investigate the effect of metal or amine doping (direct …

Synthesis Of 4-Azidocoumarins And Their Use In Copper-Catalyzed Azide-Alkyne Cycloaddition Reactions, Anthony J. Netsuri Jan 2013

Synthesis Of 4-Azidocoumarins And Their Use In Copper-Catalyzed Azide-Alkyne Cycloaddition Reactions, Anthony J. Netsuri

Dissertations and Theses

Triazole-containing compounds have shown great biological activity ranging from antiviral, antibacterial, to anticancer, to name a few. Coumarin derivatives have also shown interesting biological activities. The combination of these bioactive compounds appears to have great promise for new and future medicines. In this work, various 4-azido-coumarins were synthesized via the transformation of the 4-hydroxy derivatives to 4-benzotriazolyloxy coumarins by reaction with the peptide coupling agent (benzotriazol-1-yloxy)tris-(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (BOP), and 1,8-diazabicycloundec-7-ene (DBU) as the base, in tetrahydrofuran (THF) solvent. The 4-benzotriazolyloxy coumarins were converted to the 4-azidocoumarins by reaction with sodium azide (NaN3), and the overall process was simplified to a …
