  • Substitution Effects on the Structure and Electronic Behavior of Ternary Precious Metal Oxides

    Creator:
    Flynn, Joshua
    Abstract:
    Due to the high cost of precursor materials, complex oxides of 4d and 5d transition metals are under-studied compared to their 3d counterparts. Recent studies have shown that oxides containing heavier transition metals can exhibit exotic electronic states due to presence of strong spin-orbit coupling. The goal of this dissertation...

  • Total synthesis of (-)-7-epicylindrospermopsin

    Creator:
    Hansen, Joshua D.
    Abstract:
    The first asymmetric synthesis of (-)-7-epicylindrospermopsin via intramolecular nitrone cycloaddition is described. The synthesis utilized a convergent approach to prepare the cycloaddition precursor 176, which was assembled by condensation of hydroxylamine 175 with aldehyde 145. Hydroxylamine 175 was synthesized from ethylene glycol (166) in seven steps. Aldehyde 145 was completed...

  • Investigation of the structural influence on the properties of functional inorganic oxides

    Creator:
    Laurita-Plankis, Geneva
    Abstract:
    While properties are extremely important from an application point of view, it is crucial to have a detailed understanding of the underlying structural influence. Once a concrete correlation between the structure and the observed property is established, rational design of novel materials with optimized properties can be realized. These optimized...

  • CoLocalized Excitation Emission Resolution : A CLEER approach for multicolor fluorescence analysis

    Creator:
    Almlie, C. Kyle
    Abstract:
    Fluorescence has proven to be a robust and powerful method of analysis in numerous fields: forensics, pharmaceutics, geology, food science, and environmental sciences have all developed a large collection of fluorescence instruments and methods to overcome application-specific challenges. Biological applications saw the same development of a fluorescence toolkit with methods...

  • Storage Battery Chemistries with Earth Abundant Charge Carriers

    Creator:
    Hong, Jessica Junghwa
    Abstract:
    The demand for the development of sustainable energy is an all time high as we burn through limited fossil fuel reserves and as environmental concerns rise every year. Renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power have limitations due to inconsistent power supply that cannot meet the regular needs...

  • Synthetic studies of nonadrides

    Creator:
    Drapela, Nicholas Ernest
    Abstract:
    An asymmetric approach to the synthesis of byssochlamic acid (1) is described. Regioisomeric enzymatic differentiation is described in the selective hydrolysis of dimethyl ester 30 by porcine liver esterase. Chiral dimethyl ester 42 was prepared by desymmetrization of cyclopentene 34 using porcine liver esterase. A key intramolecular [2+2]cycloaddition-cycloreversion photometathesis of...

    Abstract:
    This dissertation outlines two approaches for improving the efficiency and reducing the cost of photovoltaic energy generation. First, the structures of known binary copper and iron compounds are used to choose the promising compositions Fe₂XS₄ (X = Si, Ge), Cu₃TaQ₄ (Q = Se, Te), and BaCuQ'F (Q' = S, Se,...

  • Application of Density Functional Theory to Exploration of Reactions

    Creator:
    Feoktistova, Taisiia
    Abstract:
    My work has focused on using density functional theory to elucidate mechanisms of organocatalytic and transition metal catalyzed reactions by considering competing mechanisms. In each of the three presented studies computational investigation complemented experimental work by predicting stereoselectivity or revealing origins of stereo, regio, or chemoselectivity. A study on the...
