Synthesis And Characterization Of Carbohydrate Based Molecular Gelators And Macrocycles Through Cycloaddition Reactions, Dan Wang
Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations
Carbohydrate based low molecular weight gelators (LMWGs) are biocompatible and have many potential applications. They have been used for drug delivery, environmental clean-up, and for reaction catalysis. In recent years, copper catalyzed azide alkyne cycloaddition reactions (CuAACs) also termed “Click reactions” have shown great applications in the synthesis of various glycoconjugates and carbohydrate derivatives.
In this research, three diverse classes of glycoconjugates (I, II, III) have been designed and synthesized. The first class of compounds (I) in Chapter 2 are D-glucosamine based amide and triazole derivatives with different spacers between the amide and triazole (n=2-5) function groups. These compounds were …
Synthesis, Characterization, And Kinetics Studies Of New Cobalt Complexes For The Production Of H2 In Acidic Media, Michael John Celestine
Synthesis, Characterization, And Kinetics Studies Of New Cobalt Complexes For The Production Of H2 In Acidic Media, Michael John Celestine
Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations
The kinetics and mechanism of the oxidation of [Co(dmgBF2)2(OH2)2] (where dmgBF2 = difluoroboryldimethylglyoximato) by sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), sodium bromate (NaBrO3), and bromine (Br2) was investigated by stopped-flow spectrophotometry at 450 nm over a wide temperature range. The pKa1 value for [Co(dmgBF2)2(OH2)2] was calculated as 5.27 ± 0.14 at I = 0.60 (NaCl). From the variation in pH studies, the activation parameters were derived from the proposed mechanisms for NaOCl, ΔH1*, ΔH2*, ΔS1*, and …
Synthesis, Characterization, Spectroscopic, And Mesomorphic Studies Of New Schiff Base Ligands And Titanium, Cobalt, Nickel And Copper Metal Centers, Raj K. Gurung
Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations
Transition metal complexes with Schiff base ligands offer a wide application in the field of development of catalysis and material. The straightforward synthesis allowed the structural modification and helped to optimize in various application of such complexes. Titanium-containing complexes have been reported to be important for their catalytic and material applications through the coordination of a tetradentate Schiff base ligand, viz. N, N’-ethylene bis(salicylideneiminate) dianion (salen). Studies reporting the characterization of achiral titanium(IV) salen complexes are scarce due to their intricate nature. Such complexes would be comparatively less expensive and easier to prepare synthetically and thus could represent an …
Advances In The Understanding Of Sourcing And Fate Of Pyrogenic Organic Matter In The Environment, Aleksandar Ivaylov Goranov
Advances In The Understanding Of Sourcing And Fate Of Pyrogenic Organic Matter In The Environment, Aleksandar Ivaylov Goranov
Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations
With higher occurrences of forest fires worldwide, there has been an increase in scientific interest surrounding the chemistry of pyrogenic organic matter (pyOM). The main structural components of pyOM, the condensed aromatic compounds (ConAC), exhibit intriguing physico-chemical properties and have been one of the main focuses of biogeochemical research. The overwhelmingly large number of scientific articles regarding pyOM and ConAC are guided by the assumption that ConAC in the environment are exclusively of pyrogenic origin, even though some recent studies have suggested that some of these ConAC could also be derived from non-pyrogenic radical-driven processes. To evaluate this controversial proposition, …
Structural Characterization Of Organic Matter In Oil Shales Using Multiple Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Techniques, Wenying Chu
Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations
Oil shale is a promising source of hydrocarbon fuel that is distributed throughout the world. The petroleum generating potential of oil shale is related to the molecular structure of the organic matter in source rock. The major fraction of organic matter of oil shale is termed kerogen, and due to its insolubility in organic solvents, 13C solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is one of the best ways to directly measure the insoluble organic matter without changing its chemical structures. This dissertation investigated oil shale samples using advanced solid-state 13C NMR spectroscopy techniques and high resolution magic angle …
Lignin: A Likely Precursor Of A Significant Fraction Of Humic Substances Via Oxidative Transformations, Seyyedhadi Khatami
Lignin: A Likely Precursor Of A Significant Fraction Of Humic Substances Via Oxidative Transformations, Seyyedhadi Khatami
Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations
Lignin is a major component of decaying terrestrial vegetation in soils and has been arguably reported to contribute substantially to the formation of soil carbon humus, and natural dissolved organic matter (DOM). To better understand the process by which this humification occurs, lignin and lignin-derived monomers were subjected to both biotic and abiotic oxidation processes. Two well-known oxidative transformation strategies were employed. The first involved the fungal degradation of brown-rot degraded wood subjected to a white-rot fungus (Phanerochaete chrysosporium) whose enzymes are particularly effective in lignin degradation via enzymatic oxidation. This enzymatic attack was monitored by ultrahigh resolution …
