  • Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Metal-Oxo Clusters as the Building Blocks in Nature and Synthesis

    Creator:
    Amiri, Mehran
    Abstract:
    Metal-oxo clusters can be described as soluble pieces of metal-oxide frameworks. Metal-oxo clusters are also the building blocks for the Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) and coordination polymers. A better knowledge of metal-oxo clusters helps fundamentally understand geosciences, molecular engineering, catalysis, single-molecule magnetism, and MOFs for synthesis, design, and modification of these...

  • Synthesis and Solution Behavior of Tetravalent Metal Clusters with Ammonium Counterions

    Creator:
    Brown, Jessica C.
    Abstract:
    Global interest in reducing carbon emissions by use of alternative energy sources makes nuclear energy production and the impacts of the nuclear energy cycle relevant. Studying the aqueous speciation of tetravalent metals commonly used for nuclear energy (uranium, thorium, plutonium) can inform us of general metal properties and their behavior...

  • Uranyl Peroxide Cluster Formation Pathway and the Role of the Alkali Counterion

    Creator:
    Arteaga, Ana
    Abstract:
    Uranyl peroxide clusters are the newest family of polyoxometalates, discovered in 2015. Although this family is new, over 70 topologies have been reported. However, we lack the fundamental understanding of assembly mechanisms, particularly the role of the alkali countercations. Here, we use a wide range of solution and solid-state characterization...

  • Isolation of New Niobium clusters with Alkali Carbonate

    Creator:
    Feng, Ching-Lei
    Abstract:
    Polyoxoniobates (PONbs) are attracting great attention in recent years due to its novelty as well as a variety of geometrical presentations in different pH conditions. In this paper we are reporting the reaction of tetramethyl-decaniobate ([(CH3)4N]6[Nb10O28]) with alkaline carbonates to observe the periodic trend of alkaline ions interacting with the...
