A Study To Regioselectively Access Fluorinated Triazoles And Isoxazoles, Sweta Adhikari
A Study To Regioselectively Access Fluorinated Triazoles And Isoxazoles, Sweta Adhikari
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The objective of the thesis is to develop regioselective methods for mono-fluorination of disubstituted triazoles, both 1,4- and 1,5-regioisomer, and isoxazoles. These strategies focus on one-pot direct access to final mono-fluorinated triazoles and isoxazoles. Eventually, these fluorinated substrates will be screened against various biological targets. Similarly, the optimization study of a regioselective method to generate 5-fluoro-1,4-disubstituted triazole was conducted. This reaction also utilized 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition to synthesize fluorinated triazole. However, difluoroalkene was used as a synthetic equivalent of fluoroalkyne for this method. This resulted into the inversion of polarity affording a different regioisomer. Here, fluoronitroalkene was identified as a synthetic …
High Voltage Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells And Molecular Photocatalysis For Co2 Reduction, Roberta Ramalho Rodrigues
High Voltage Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells And Molecular Photocatalysis For Co2 Reduction, Roberta Ramalho Rodrigues
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The development of high voltage solar cells is an attractive way to use sunlight to power electrocatalysts for water oxidation, electrocatalysts for CO2 reduction, and consumer electronics. Through careful molecular dye engineering and redox shuttle pairing, our group has reported a single-junction dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) employing, for the first time, an iron redox mediator (Fe(bpy)33+/2+) in conjunction with a novel wide band gap dye (RR9). This system generates a high photovoltage of 1.42 V. To the best of our knowledge, this system is the highest photovoltage achieved by a single-junction DSC device without metal oxide doping. The RR9/Fe(bpy)33+/2+ redox …
Theranostics Based On Linear Dendritic Block Copolymers, Jon Williams
Theranostics Based On Linear Dendritic Block Copolymers, Jon Williams
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
When combining imaging and therapeutic motifs, known as theranostics, amphiphilic diblock copolymers have a strong precedent of success. These polymers can self-assemble into a variety of morphologies that are known to concentrate in areas of inflammation such as tumors. However, prediction of size and morphology from polymer structure still remains an open challenge. Another system with promise of therapeutic efficacy are tree-like struc- tures known as dendrimers, such as poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) and bis-(hydroxymethyl) propionic acid (bMPA), which can uptake drugs and dyes into their branches. It is desireable to combine these two motifs, using linear-dendritic block copolymers (LDBCs). These represent …
The Development Of Novel Rhenium- And Copper-Based Molecular Catalysts For Applications In Energy Conversion Chemistry, Joseph Michael Lee
The Development Of Novel Rhenium- And Copper-Based Molecular Catalysts For Applications In Energy Conversion Chemistry, Joseph Michael Lee
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Since the Industrial Revolution, the consumption of fossil fuels has increased dramatically worldwide. The combustion of fossil fuels leads to the generation of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. CO2 is a greenhouse gas, but also a C1 feedstock that could be utilized for the generation of renewable fuels and commodity chemicals. However, CO2 is chemically inert and typically demands strong chemical reductants or very negative potentials before it undergoes conversion into reduced carbon products. The desire to carry out CO2 conversion in the presence of water presents a significant challenge, as protons may be reduced to hydrogen gas rather than facilitating …

Effects Of Halogen Bonding And Nir Tuning Of Dyes For Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells, Alexandra Baumann
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
With current energy demands being met through the utilization of energy sources such as petroleum, natural gas, and coal, the non-renewable nature of these sources will eventually approach depletion as world wide energy consumption increases yearly. As a result the need for a renewable energy alternative has become imminent. One appealing alternative that has gained considerable attention since its development due to a low cost and a high solar to electric conversion efficiency are dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). This dissertation describes efforts to design and synthesize improved organic dyes utilizing three analogous methods: first, through decreasing non-productive pathways such as …
