  • Refractory Amorphous Metal Thin Films

    Creator:
    Olsen, Kristopher R.
    Abstract:
    Amorphous metal thin films lack the grain boundaries and dislocations present in crystalline metal films. As a result, amorphous metal films can be more mechanically robust, atomically smooth, and more resistant to chemical attack than crystalline metals. However, amorphous metals are meta-stable and subject to crystallization upon heating, thus limiting...

  • Himeradine A : synthetic efforts towards himeradine A and related natural products, a Michael reaction focused approach

    Creator:
    Collett, Nathan D.
    Abstract:
    Lycopodium alkaloids have generated enormous amounts of interest from the scientific community, both as synthetic targets and for their medicinal properties. Herein is described work towards a unifying approach to large segments of the Lycopodium family. An organocatalyzed intramolecular heteroatom Michael reaction method, for the construction of piperidine and piperizine...

  • Development of organocatalyzed, intramolecular heteroatom Michael addition and application towards alkaloid synthesis

    Creator:
    Carlson, Erik
    Abstract:
    Effective methods for the enantiopure formation of substituted piperidine rings are significantly important due to their presence in alkaloid products. A valuable method to form these ring systems would be via an intramolecular heteroatom Michael addition from the corresponding enone or enal. Described herein is a methodolgy that has been...

  • Synthesis and Characterization of Alkylammonium Salts of Butyltin-Polyoxotungstates for Thin Film Functionalization

    Creator:
    Olsen, Morgan R.
    Abstract:
    Metal-oxo clusters are discrete, soluble pieces of bulk metal oxide. Cluster size, monodispersity, and chemical properties allow for potential use as solution-based precursors for functional metal oxide films. Classical monoalkyltin-oxo clusters are either charge neutral or stabilized by anions. The structure of Cs₄.₅H₂.₅[(BuSn)₃(α-SiW₉O₃₇)]*2H₂O enables its use in established ion exchange...

  • New Graphite Intercalation Chemistry with Alkaline Earth Metals

    Creator:
    Xu, Wei
    Abstract:
    Novel graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) and associated chemistry have been explored, specifically: (1) containing alkyl- substituted imidazolium cations; (2) a series containing alkaline earth metal (Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba) cations with ethylenediamine (en) co-intercalates; (3) showing reversible intragallery M-M bonding and (4) via electrochemical intercalation of Mg cations with potential...

  • New Graphite Intercalation Chemistry with Ethers and Amines

    Creator:
    Zhang, Hanyang
    Abstract:
    Novel donor-typed ternary graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) are synthesized and characterized containing (1) pyrrolidinium cations with DMSO co-intercalates; (2) alkali metal cations with crown ether co-intercalates; and (3) alkali metal cations with polyethylene glycol co-intercalates. Structural and compositional data are obtained for the stable products. A new ether-amine co-intercalate exchange...

  • Graphite intercalation compounds containing tetra-n-alkylammonium cations

    Creator:
    Sirisaksoontorn, Weekit
    Abstract:
    Novel donor-type graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) containing tetra-n-alkylammonium (TAA) cations have been synthesized by using both ion-exchange and electrochemical methods. Structural and compositional data of the resulting TAA-GICs are investigated by using powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), one-dimensional electron density calculations, thermogravimetric and elemental analyses, and capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE). A...

    Creator:
    Yan, Wei
    Abstract:
    New synthetic strategies have been investigated for nano-dimensioned graphite particles or even isolated graphene sheets. One approach is to prepare graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) with low layer charge density and appropriate gallery height, followed by the colloidal dispersion or exfoliation of the resulting GICs. A series of anions has been...
