Aryl acetylene substituent effects : the synthesis and application of biaryls

Creator:

Naffziger, Michael R.

Abstract:

The work described herein details the synthesis and application of biphenyls that probe the effects of hydrogen, Cl / Br, and methyl substituents on the aryl ring of the terminal acetylenic carbon. From this work, we successfully developed the rapid synthesis of phenyl acetylenes in 3-4 steps from inexpensive commercially...

Masters Thesis
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...

Dissertation
Excited state molecular structural evolution and chemical reactivity studied by femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy

Creator:

Han, Fangyuan

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...
