  • Studies toward the synthesis of halichlorine and pinnaic acid

    Creator:
    Korf, Eric A.
    Abstract:
    Three approaches toward the core of halichlorine and pinnaic acid are described. The first approach entails a racemic transannular nitrone-olefin [3+2] cycloaddition from nitrone 238. Construction of the nitrone 238 began with aldehyde 241. Another key feature in this route involved a ring-closing metathesis for the formation of a 14-membered...

  • Synthesis and characterization of aluminum oxide based materials - from molecule to device

    Creator:
    Wang, Wei
    Abstract:
    A scalable synthesis of the "flat" tridecameric inorganic cluster [Al₁₃(μ₃-OH)₆(μ-OH)₁₈(H₂O)₂₄]¹⁵⁺ has been realized by treating an aqueous aluminum nitrate solution with zinc-metal powder at room temperature. Single crystals and polycrystalline samples are readily obtained in yields exceeding 55% relative to the starting reagent Al(NO₃)₃. Products have been characterized by X-ray...

  • Measuring in situ reductive dechlorination rates in trichloroethene-contaminated groundwater

    Creator:
    Hageman, Kimberly J.
    Abstract:
    Trichloroethene (TCE) is the most frequently detected organic contaminant in groundwater, is classified as a probable human carcinogen, and exhibits toxicological effects on the human endocrine, immune, developmental, and reproductive systems. While significant research efforts have been devoted to the development of strategies for remediating TCE-contaminated groundwater, their advancement is...

  • Measuring in situ biotransformation in BTEX-contaminated groundwater

    Creator:
    Alumbaugh, Robert E.
    Abstract:
    Benzylsuccinate (BSA), methylbenzylsuccinate (methylBSA), and ethylbenzylsuccinate (ethylBSA) are unambiguous anaerobic biotransformation products from toluene, xylenes, and ethylbenzene decay, respectively, and may be used to indicate intrinsic bioremediation is occurring at hydrocarbon-contaminated sites. In order to improve upon current methods that detect and quantify anaerobic hydrocarbon metabolites in field samples, solid-phase-extraction...

  • Chemical and statistical analyses of chondrules from the Mokoia (CV3) meteorite

    Creator:
    Schilk, Alan J.
    Abstract:
    Nearly 100 chondrules were extracted from -8.6g of the Mokoia (CV3) meteorite and have been analyzed by sequential instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA). The resulting data were utilized in a comprehensive statistical characterization of these objects and, unlike similar investigations, virtually no loss of relevant data was incurred due to...

  • Designing chiral rhenium (VII) trioxo complexes

    Creator:
    Juniku, Rajan B.
    Abstract:
    The epoxide deoxygenation reaction is formally the reverse of theepoxidation reaction. Compared to epoxidation, which has reached its fullmaturity, epoxide deoxygenation has not been as intensively developed.Among the few deoxygenation reagents, a handful are catalytic in a metalcomplex, show high stereospecificity and operate under mild conditions. Acommon feature of all...

  • Quantifying in situ β-glucosidase and phosphatase activity in groundwater

    Creator:
    Radakovich, Karen M
    Abstract:
    Enzymes play an important role in the environment, they breakdown natural-occurring and anthropogenic molecules so that they can be transported into cells and utilized. Enzyme assays are routinely used in soil science and oceanography to measure the activities of specific processes and to serve as general indicators of microbial activity....

  • In situ transformation of toluene and xylene to benzylsuccinic acid analogs in contaminated groundwater

    Creator:
    Reusser, Dominik E.
    Abstract:
    The rate of removal of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and the xylene isomers (BTEX) from contaminated groundwater is needed to design remediation processes. Benzylsuccinic acid (BSA) and methyl-benzylsuccinic acid (methyl BSA) are unambiguous metabolites of anaerobic BTEX biodegradation. An analytical method for quantitative determination of BSA in groundwater samples was developed....

    Chambers, Scott Alexander
    Abstract:
    The satellite structure ("shake-up") present in the X-ray photoelectron spectra of several planar molecules containing double bonds has been investigated in the gas phase. This set consists of three five-membered heterocyclic molecules, ethylene and two of its fluorinated analogs, and benzene with three of its fluorinated analogs. In addition, core...
