Creator:: Caspary, Katherine E.
Abstract:: In this report, two studies are presented that utilize computations to predict and elucidate the reaction mechanisms of two different copper catalyzed reactions. Each study provides insight into the various chemical transformations, as well as the how and why behind regioselectivity and isotopic selectivity. The importance of this research is...

Abstract:: Photolysis of pentachlorobenzene was carried out in the absence of an electron donor species at 254 nm in cetyltrimethylammonium bromide surfactant solution. The results are consistent with the excited triplet undergoing homolytic cleavage of a C-Cl bond in competition with formation of the excimer, in which the radical anion undergoes...

Creator:: Snyder, Kevin M.
Abstract:: In this report, three studies are presented that aid in the development of drug discovery and their synthesis. In each, the importance of the marriage between computations and experiments is highlighted. Continued efforts in this vein are essential for future efforts towards improving human health. The first case study investigated...

Creator:: Dorn, Shelby E.
Abstract:: In this report, three studies are presented that utilize computations to predict transformations, identities, and properties of environmental organic molecules. Each study shows how computations can lead to models of chemical behavior. The importance of this research is rooted in the need for understanding how human behavior and health intersect...

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....

Creator:: Owens, Peter Halliday
Abstract:: The relative rates of bridgehead hydrogen abstraction from a series of 1-substituted adamantanes by the trichloromethyl radical at 40.0°C. has been carried out. Utilizing the Hammett-Taft equation a p* value of -0.40 was obtained for this reaction. Application of the Kirkwood-Westheimer model for the transmission of substituent effects gave an...
