Redox-Active Polymerization Catalysts And Their Applications, Nicholas M. Shawver
Redox-Active Polymerization Catalysts And Their Applications, Nicholas M. Shawver
Masters Theses
Traditional catalyst systems are reliable means to produce polymers with well-defined architectures and thermomechanical properties; however, they are often limited by a narrow monomer scope and their ability access few, if any, advanced polymer architectures. To address this limitation, a new class of catalysts have recently emerged that feature redox-active moieties that may access advanced architectures through catalyst electronic modulation that arises from redox events occurring on the ligand scaffold or at the active metal center itself. For example, researchers have explored the ability of redox-active catalysts to impart “on-off” kinetic control during ring-opening polymerizations and their ability to access …

Synthesis, Reactivity, And Nmr Trends Of Early Transition Metal Compounds, Tabitha Marie Cook
Doctoral Dissertations
This dissertation focuses of three different subjects. The first is the synthesis and characterization of heptacoordinate amidinate compounds. Heptacoordinate compounds are not common, but their structures have been studied. Group 4 amidinate compounds have been used as precursors in the CVD/ ALD processes. Ancillary ligands, such as amidinates, have been used to reduce air-sensitivity of complexes. Reactions of these complexes with water have been used to make metal oxide thin films.
In the first study, the complexes Zr[MeC(NiPr)2]3Cl [zirconium trisamidinate chloride], Hf[MeC(NiPr)2]3Cl [hafnium trisamidinate chloride], Zr[MeC(NiPr) …

Doctoral Dissertations
Homoleptic Groups 4 and 5 metal amide compounds have been used as precursors in CVD/ALD processes to make microelectronic metal oxide thin films. These compounds are often very air sensitive. Ancillary ligands such as amidinates have been used to reduce their air sensitivity and to make their handling easier. Reactions of amidinates with dioxygen and water have thus been used to make metal oxide thin films. Studies of these reactions are important in order to make better precursors and purer thin films. This dissertation focuses on the following areas: (a) Syntheses of zirconium and Group 5 amidinate amides; (b) Studies …
