  • Synthesis, characterization, and analysis of nitroaromatic compounds

    Creator:
    McIntosh, Melissa Luana
    Abstract:
    Nitroaromatic compounds have important chemical applications and can be found in nature as pollution sources. Synthetic nitroaromatic compounds have been used in a variety of materials including explosives, pharmaceuticals, dyes, plastics, and pesticides. These compounds can find their way into the environment through normal or improper disposal methods. Poly-aromatic compounds...

  • Determination of fluorinated alkyl substances in aqueous systems

    Creator:
    Schultz, Melissa M.
    Abstract:
    Fluorinated alkyl substances, which can be persistent, toxic, and bioaccumulative, have been quantitated in many densely populated and remote regions, including in air, surface waters, groundwater, and biota; however, little is known about their transport or behavior in the environment. Wastewater effluent is one of the principal routes for introducing...

  • High resolution spectroscopy of sulfur trioxide and carbon suboxide

    Creator:
    Masiello, Tony
    Abstract:
    High resolution spectroscopy was used to study the properties of two simple polyatomic molecules, sulfur trioxide, SO₃, and carbon suboxide, C₃O₂. The fundamental modes and several hot bands of the ¹⁸O isotopic fonns of SO₃ (³²S¹⁸O₃ and ³⁴S¹⁸O₃) have been investigated using both infrared spectroscopy and coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering...

  • Human exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons : global cancer risk and metabolism

    Creator:
    Motorykin, Oleksii
    Abstract:
    In recent decades, there has been increased attention on human exposure to, and subsequently toxicity of, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). PAHs are widespread organic pollutants and some have been shown to be toxic, carcinogenic and mutagenic. This research was focused on understanding the link between global PAH emissions and lung...

  • Determination of fluorochemicals in waste-dominated aqueous systems

    Creator:
    Huset, Carin A.
    Abstract:
    While fluorochemicals have been detected all over the world and in wastewater treatment plants, the effect of wastewater effluent on the receiving waters has not been evaluated. In the first study, the mass flow of fluorochemicals emanating from wastewater treatment plants along the Glatt River in Switzerland was evaluated. The...

  • Identification, Quantification, and Risk Assessment of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and their Derivatives in Soil after Steam Enhanced Extraction

    Creator:
    Santiago Delgado, Lisandra
    Abstract:
    Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are environmental contaminants produced mainly from the incomplete combustion and pyrolysis of organic matter. PAHs are among the major contaminants at over 800 Superfund sites, nationwide. Thermal remediation is used as a method to remediate soils contaminated with PAHs through the use of heat to mobilize...

  • The atmospheric chemistry of particulate-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons : concentration, prediction, laboratory studies, and mutagenicity

    Creator:
    Jariyasopit, Narumol
    Abstract:
    The trans-Pacific atmospheric transport of particulate matter (PM)-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) to remote sites in western North America has been well documented and has triggered research questions regarding to atmospheric transformation of PM-bound PAHs and the potential impacts on human health from their inhalation exposure. In this dissertation, field...

  • Total Synthesis of Goniomitine : Development of Aminal and α-Amino Radicals in the Synthesis of Nitrogen-Rich Natural Products

    Creator:
    Vellucci, Jessica K.
    Abstract:
    Aminal radical intermediates were generated by the method of radical translocation and reacted in C-C bond forming reactions with electronically deficient alkenes (Schiedler et al. Org. Lett. 2012, 14, 6092). Aminal radical intermediates can participate in inter- and intra-molecular reactions using both Bu3SnH and (TMS)₃SiH as hydride donors. Carbon–carbon bonds...

  • Cis-2,5-diaminobicyclo[2.2.2]octane : a novel C₂-symmetric scaffold for asymmetric catalysis

    Creator:
    Shaw, Subrata
    Abstract:
    This thesis describes the development of a new enantioselective synthetic method employing chiral cis-2,5-diaminobicyclo[2.2.2]octane-based organometallic catalysts. The significance of this new method to organic synthesis is illustrated with preparation of enantioenriched products that are transformed to important pharmaceutical agents. Chapter 1 provides a brief historical overview of asymmetric catalysis, especially...

  • Novel ternary graphite intercalation compounds of alkali metal cations and amines

    Creator:
    Maluangont, Tosapol
    Abstract:
    Novel ternary graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) of alkali metal cations and a wide variety of amines have been synthesized by one-pot chemical syntheses. Alkali metals studied includes Li, Na and K. The families of amines employed are nalkylamines, branched alkylamines, and different structural isomers of diamines and polyamines. Intragallery structures...
