Microsolvation Of Anions By Molecules Forming Ch∙∙X- Hydrogen Bonds, Steve Scheiner, Binod Nepal Dec 2015

Microsolvation Of Anions By Molecules Forming Ch∙∙X- Hydrogen Bonds, Steve Scheiner, Binod Nepal

Chemistry and Biochemistry Faculty Publications

Various anions were surrounded by n molecules of CF3H, which was used as a prototype CH donor solvent, and the structures and energies studied by M06-2X calculations with a 6-31+G∗∗ basis set. Anions considered included the halides F-, Cl-, Br- and I-, as well as those with multiple proton acceptor sites: CN-, NO3 -, HCOO-, CH3COO-, HSO4 -, H2PO4 -, and anions with higher charges SO4 2-, HPO4 2- and PO4 …


Hydrothermal Routes To Technetium Cluster Compounds, William M. Kerlin Aug 2015

Hydrothermal Routes To Technetium Cluster Compounds, William M. Kerlin

UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones

Transition metals of groups six through nine exhibit unique direct multiple metal-metal bonding cores. Technetium is a group seven transition metal and is the lightest radioelement in the periodic table. Technetium exhibits nine oxidation states (from -I to VII) and an extensive set of mixed oxidation states due to bi- or poly- nuclear complex formation. Technetium has no stable isotopes and thirty four technetium isotopes have been discovered. Two main isotopes are of great importance 99Tc and its metastable nuclear isomer 99mTc. The isotope 99mTc (T1/2 = 6.01 hours, γ = 140.5 keV) is used in …
