  • Characterization and Biodegradation of Commercial Reference Material Capstone 1157

    Creator:
    Van Meter, Mariann I.
    Abstract:
    Capstone 1157 is a commercial reference material used in aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) applications and was manufactured by DuPont. The material’s purpose in this project was to be the sole carbon source to microbes in a biodegradation study in a microcosm environment. The goal of this project was to...

  • Electrochemical Reactions in Aqueous Batteries with Anionic Charge Carriers

    Creator:
    Gallagher, Trenton C.
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, the primary objective is to discover more sustainable electrode materials and study new reaction mechanisms using aqueous electrolytes. The first study conducted reveals a reversible conversion reaction from copper to Cu2CO3(OH)2. The reaction mechanism uses OH- and CO32- as charge carriers at the cathode. The results open...

  • SpellForge : a creative design tabletop role playing game

    Creator:
    VanDerZwan, Nicolaas
    Abstract:
    The design of a novel Tabletop Role Playing Game was conducted with the aim to create a game system that provides both rigid rules and more creative outlets compared to existing games. The project focused on player-developed mystical abilities known as Spells, whereby the rule of the game guides the...

  • A Pyrone Diels–Alder Approach to Substituted Indoles and Carbazoles and the Synthesis of New Ropinirole Analogues

    Creator:
    Points, Gary L., III
    Abstract:
    Aromatic heterocycles are core structural motifs in natural products, pharmaceuticals and biological polymers. Indoles, in particular, represent a significant subclass of aromatic heterocycles, both in terms of sheer numbers, but also in biological and pharmaceutical relevance. As such, new methodologies for the synthesis of indoles represent an important and continually...

  • Total Synthesis of Aspidosperma Alkaloids Leuconoxine, Melodinine E and Mersicarpine and Synthetic Studies directed toward the Iboga Alkaloid Ibogaine: Progress directed toward the dimeric Cephalotaxus Alkaloid Cephalancetine C

    Creator:
    Kim, GilSoo
    Abstract:
    The first part of this manuscript is about the total synthesis of the aspidosperma alkaloids leuconoxine, melodinine E and mersicarpine. Our synthetic strategy used a radical translocation-conjugate addition cascade to construct the core of the natural product. Specifically, a vinyl radical was generated from the homolysis of the C–I bond...

  • Stereocontrolled Synthesis of Allenes by Eliminative Cross-Coupling of Carbenoids

    Creator:
    Cao, Yang
    Abstract:
    The bimolecular reaction of two carbenoid species resulting in the formation of a carbon-carbon double bond (pi-system), referred to herein as carbenoid eliminative cross-coupling (CEXC), involves a series of three fundamental steps: (i) ate-complex formation (transmetalation), (ii) 1,2-metalate rearrangement, and (iii) beta-elimination. All three steps are stereospecific and so the...

  • Electrochemical Advancement of Solid State Ion Selective Electrodes

    Creator:
    Bahro, Christopher
    Abstract:
    The general theme of this dissertation is the development of new analytical sensors to quantitatively study biological and environmental samples in aqueous and non-aqueous environments. A platinum ultramicroelectrode (UME) and a unique carbon-based pH microprobe were used to design a new SECM-based electrochemical bioassay. The Pt UME was used to...

  • 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...

  • Porous metal-organic materials for gas capture

    Creator:
    Rookard, Tanner Daniel
    Abstract:
    Metal-organic polyhedra (MOPs) are discrete molecules comprised of a metal and interconnecting ligands. The resulting MOP structures are porous cages, and to date, they have shown great promise toward gas capture. Ammonia is a hazardous gas that is produced in enormous quantities for use in fertilizers. In this talk, I...

  • A Reversible Conversion Cathode – Convert Dual-ion Battery into Rocking-Chair Battery

    Creator:
    Wu, Che-Yu
    Abstract:
    In Dual-ion Batteries, anions as charge carriers might be a potential technique of energy storage. While fluoride anion has been selected as a promising charge carrier for energy storage due to its high charge/mass ratio and small ionic radius, carbonate anion has never been reported as a charge carrier for...
