  • Structure-property relationships in oxides containing tellurium

    Creator:
    Siritanon, Theeranun
    Abstract:
    Oxides of post-transition metals often show unique structures and properties due to the presence of lone pair electrons and the diffused s orbitals. The present work focuses on synthesis and characterizations of oxides containing Te, a heavy post transition metal. New series of pyrochlore oxides of the formula Cs(M,Te)₂O₆ (M...

  • Design, characterization, and application of spectrometers for determination of low-level dissolved oxygen with small-volume sampling methodology

    Creator:
    Cakin, Defne
    Abstract:
    New analytical methods and instrumentation were developed for the determination of dissolved oxygen (DO) at low concentrations in water. The methods were based on monitoring the absorbance increase due to the oxidation of reduced indigo carmine (IC) by oxygen in the sample in different types of spectrometer cells. Spectrophotometer cells...

  • Galvanostatic control of ion selective electrodes with the solvent polymeric membrane

    Creator:
    Perera, Hasini R.
    Abstract:
    Detection technique that proposed utilizing electrochemically controlled, reversible ion extraction into polymeric membrane in an alternating galvanostatic/ potentiostatic mode was introduced. This method is studied in detail to comprehend the advantages of the novel sensor (pulstrode) compared to the potentiometric ion selective electrode (ISE), studies included possible applications and limitations....

  • Computational Investigation and Prediction of Mechanisms and Stereocontrol in Complex Organic Reactions

    Creator:
    Pattawong, Ommidala
    Abstract:
    Complex organic transformations, such as the addition of pyrrole to ketene using planar chiral organocatalyst (*PPY), the four-component anhydride- Manniach reactions, and the site-selective desymmetrization of meso-1,2-diol, are remarkable synthetic reactions that provide high yield and high selectivity. However, the exact mechanism and origins of stereocontrol for theses synthetic organic...

  • Polyoxoniobates: fundamental solubility trend and their application in solution and on the surface of thin films

    Creator:
    Rahman, Tasnim
    Abstract:
    Polyoxometalates (POMs) are anions consisting of three or more early transition metals ™ (Gr V and VI) oxoanions (in their highest oxidation state) linked together by a shared oxygen bond to form a 3D framework. Polyoxometalates (POMs) are a rapidly growing class of metal oxo clusters with a wide range...

  • A unified approach for the total synthesis of C₁₀-functionalyzed Lycopodium alkaloids

    Creator:
    Saha, Mrinmoy
    Abstract:
    Lycopodium alkaloids have shown widespread and noteworthy biological activity, consisting of over 250 known natural products. Moreover, their structural complexity and diversity have attracted considerable attention from numerous laboratories including our own. Recently, we have developed a unified approach that would provides access to numerous, previously unprepared C₁₀-functionalized lycopodium alkaloids....

    Abstract:
    Crystals of an incongruent-melting compound, Ba₃MgSi₂O₈, were grown by the flux method and its structure was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. Ba₃MgSi₂O₈ crystallizes in trigonal space group P-3[bar]m1 with a = 5.6123(3) Å, c = 7.2667(9) Å and Z = 1. Eu²⁺ ions prefer one crystallographic Ba site...

    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, my research work on excited state dynamics of small organic molecules in solutions is presented. Using femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS) as the main experimental tool, the excited state hydrogen-bonding dynamics (ESHBD) of Coumarin 102, a common laser dye molecule, in ethanol solution is examined with <150...

    Abstract:
    The Gd3+ ion has been used to induce quantum splitting in luminescent materials by using cross-relaxation energy transfer (CRET). In Nd:LiGdF4, quantum splitting results from a two-step CRET between Gd3+ and Nd3+, first involving a transition 6G→6I on Gd3+ and an excitation within the 4f3 configuration of Nd3+ followed by...
