A three part study involving aspects of radical properties of various
aromatic species was accomplished.
Experiments to ascertain the importance of geometric and electronic
effects on the intramolecular transfer of a ...
In situ reduction of hydrido-tris-(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borato(trioxo)
rhenium(V) with triphenylphosphine or triethylphosphite leads to a reactive
rhenium(V) species that catalytically deoxygenates epoxides at 75-105° ...
Contaminant transport in ground water is an important environmental process that
affects a host of natural systems. Transport of contaminants is affected by many
processes, including aqueous complexation, adsorption, a ...
More that just magnificent views of atoms and
molecules, Scanning Tunneling Microscopy, STM, images have
the potential to answer some fundamental questions relating
to surface molecular dynamics and bonding characteri ...
Current studies suggest that perfluorinated organic compounds, such as fluorotelomer alcohols (FtOHs) in the troposphere, may be precursors of perfluorocarboxylic acids and perfluorosulfonates in remote regions. Fluorin ...
The use of semi-volatile organic compounds (SOCs) as molecular markers to identify the contributions of regional and long-range atmospheric transport, as well as current and historic sources, and contaminant deposition i ...
This thesis presents basic studies, including structural, optical and transport measurements, on novel chalcogenide powders and single crystals. BiCuOSe crystals have been synthesized for the first time. The crystal stru ...
The general emphasis of this work has been synthesis, characterization, and
applications of n- and p-type inorganic oxide thin films that are deposited from solutions.
In particular, a study of n-type transparent semic ...
Sulfoxide-ligand exchange (SLE) and asymmetric halogen-metal exchange (AHME) processes were separately examined for the enantioselective synthesis of functionalized alpha-haloalkylmetal (carbenoid) reagents. Carbenoids d ...
