  • Luminescent sulfides and solution-deposited oxide thin films

    Creator:
    Anderson, Jeremy T.
    Abstract:
    Solid state luminescent sulfides are prepared as powders in order to elucidate the relationship between structure and light emission. While the sulfides studied in this dissertation are known phosphors, materials are investigated in a variety of new ways. Elementary properties and structures of MgS are reviewed, and preparation of MgS...

  • Polarization spectroscopy and photodissociation studies of nitroaromatic compounds in the gas phase

    Creator:
    Abbott, James E.
    Abstract:
    The central purpose of this dissertation was to explore and expand the use of an uniform electric field for orientation and for subsequent spectroscopic investigation of asymmetric polar molecules in the gas phase. The systems of study were nitrobenzene (NB) and the nitrotoluene (NT) isomers. We were able to quantitatively...

  • Rhenium-catalyzed oxygen-atom transfer reactions : mechanism and applications

    Creator:
    Brown, Eric C.
    Abstract:
    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°C. The reaction is stereospecific, except for trans- and cis-butene oxide which formed minor amounts of the opposite isomer. A variety of different functional groups were tolerated and even...

  • Direct atom transfer vs. ring expansion in reaction of rhenium oxo complexes with cyclooctene epoxides and episulfides

    Creator:
    Khownium, Kriangsak
    Abstract:
    The rhenium (V) complex Tp'ReO₂ (Tp' = hydrido-tris-(3,5- dimethylpyrazolyl)borate), generated in situ from PPh₃ reduction of Tp'Re0₃, reacts with small ring heterocycles such as epoxides and episulf ides. The strained trans-cyclooctene ring provides an unusual thermodynamic bias against direct atom transfer, but trans-cyclooctene oxide still produces substantial amounts of trans-cyclooctene....

  • Computational Investigations of Transition Metal Catalyses and Amorphous Metal Oxides : Accelerating Scientific Discovery Through Automation

    Creator:
    Mustard, Thomas J. L.
    Abstract:
    Automation of computational chemistry, while only an engineering feat, has the potential to accelerating computational research be removing all by the science. The work in this thesis mainly discusses fundamental understanding of complex chemical systems. What is not obvious are the numerous tasks necessary for this fundamental understanding. Under the...

  • Precursor Chemistry and Film Structure and Properties via Solution Deposition

    Creator:
    Huang, Yu
    Abstract:
    Chemistry of preparing dense film from solution deposition is explored with several cases in this thesis. Surface dense structure, conversion at melting point, and ion exchange in aqueous solution are the main topics covered here for the thin films of aluminum oxide phosphate and tin dioxide. Thin film density, optical...
