Spectroscopic Studies Of Metal-Cyanide Complexes, Roy L. Mccullough

Chemistry and Chemical Biology ETDs

Part 1: Infrared and Visible Absorption Studies of Cyanide Complexes of Ni(II) in Aqueous Solution

Part 2: An Analysis of the Infrared Vibrational Spectra of the Tetracyanonickelate(II) Ion in the Solid State

In this work, further evidence has been collected establishing the existence of a new ionic species in solutions of sodium tetracyanonickelate(II) and sodium cyanide. Contrary to the literature, however, this work shows that the species is [Ni(CN)₅]^-3 rather than [Ni(CN)₆]^-4.

Liquid Scintillators. Some Aryl Substituted Phenanthrenes And Dihydrophenanthrenes, And Related P-Terphenyls And P-Quaterphenyls, Stephen Paul Birkeland

Chemistry and Chemical Biology ETDs

The liquid scintillation system has three basic components:

(1) A scintillation solution consisting of an efficient solvent and a fluorescent solute.

(2) A photomultiplier tube.

(3) An electronic system for measuring and recording the voltage pulses generated by the photomultiplier from the photons impinging on it.
