In this work, three isomeric forms of N, N'-diethyl, N, N'-ditolyldipicolinamide (EtTDPA) were synthesized. The elements thorium through americium, which make up a significant portion of the actinides in used nuclear fuel (with the exception of curium), and two fission products, molybdenum and technetium, were tested for their ability to...
Apparel fashion is a daily component of society that transcends generations and cultures.
The purpose of my research was to analyze the garment structure and construction of two
separate but comparable garments in style, function, and content - one from the 1910s
and one from 2015. Using the New Brunswick...
Due to its importance, the phenomenon of hydrogen
bonding has been the subject of much research over the
years. Among the different techniques used to study
hydrogen bonded systems, vibrational spectroscopy is
perhaps the most sensitive because of the striking
changes induced in molecular spectra by the formation of
hydrogen...
Transition metal oxides exhibit potential in various application fields due to the special d-electrons. Solid state chemistry focuses on discovering the structure-property relationships. The work in this thesis mainly discusses compounds with hexagonal or brownmillerite-type structure and their practical properties.
Hexagonal YIn[subscript 1-x]Fe[subscript x]O₃ (x = 0-0.3, 0.7-1.0) phases have...
An analytical technique has been developed for the determination of methylmercury compounds in environmental samples. The technique is based on a two-stage procedure. In the first stage, methylmercury compounds are isolated from the sample matrix as methylmercury chloride (MeRgCl) by distillation. The distillation procedure is based on a series of...
