Adsorption and switching of single azobenzene molecules at silver nanohemisphere facets studied by Surface-enhanced Raman Scattering
Topal, Cagri Ozge (2019-07)The promise of molecular machines to control mechanical and electronic components at atomic level has brought molecular switches to the spotlight in the last decade. Among many switching molecules, azobenzene (AB) is one ... -
Analysis of Edible Oils Using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and Chemometrics
Bamidele, Matthew Temitope (2019-05-01)The application of infrared spectroscopy and pattern recognition to the problem of discriminating edible oils by type is the subject of this research project. Previously published studies on this topic were generally limited ... -
Authentication of edible oils using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and pattern recognition methods
Sota-Uba, Isio (2022-07)A potential method to determine whether two edible oils can be differentiated by infrared spectroscopy is proposed. IR spectra of the pure edible oils and mixtures of these edible oils in known amounts are compared using ... -
Bond activation by germanium complexes
Bloom, Molly (2020-12-01)There have been 118 elements discovered which can combine to form thousands of different molecules with many different properties. Metalloids are very important elements, because they contain properties of both metals and ... -
Bronsted Acid Site Heterogeneity in Zeolite HZSM-5 and Synergistic Effects with Water in Hydrocarbon Reactions
Abdolrahmani, Maryam (2019-05-01)Zeolite catalysts are solid Bronsted acids whose reactivity is typically associated with the number of protons at crystalline framework bridging acid sites (BAS's) and the bonding environments around them. Direct observation ... -
Characterization of NIPA for pH Sensing and Metal Ion Binding
Oxenford, Leah Rae (Oklahoma State University, 2006-12-01)A methodology to characterize acrylamide polymers that respond to environmental stimuli (e.g., temperature and pH) was developed. Copolymers of N-isopropylacrylamide were synthesized at ambient temperature by dispersion ... -
Chemical transformations using tungsten and molybdenum hydrogen bronzes

Computational investigation of the effect of spin-crossing on the dissociation of chloro- and dichlorobenzene on the silicon (100) surface and the mechanical and electronic properties of cobalt doped zinc oxide
Butson, Eric Donald (2017-07)The adsorption and dissociation of chlorobenzene and dichlorobenzene on the Si(100) surface was modeled using hydrogen terminated silicon clusters within the density functional theory framework. Using single dimer to much ... -
Computational Studies of 2D Diffusion and Water Nucleation
Williamson, Casey H. (2017-12-01)Molecular simulations for nearly any molecule can currently be conducted, but often these calculations are costly and can only be accomplished using multiple nodes on a super computer. These topics of research use the new ... -
Computational studies of molybdenum oxide clusters and environmental corrosion of iron and zinc
Soufiani, Ahmad Razzaghi (2014-07)This dissertation describes two creative activities. The first is a computational study of molybdenum oxide clusters and the other is an experimental study of the corrosion of metals. The first effort covers three topics. ... -
Computer enhanced spectrochemical and chromatographic analysis applied to problems in analytical and forensic chemistry
Perera, Undugodage Don Nuwan Tharanga (2015-07)The main objectives of the research described in this dissertation are: (1) to develop powerful separation methods for the analysis of complex mixtures by systematically adjusting parameters related to selectivity, (2) to ... -
Determination of filming and alkalizing amines using LC-MS and the influence of these amines on ion exchange resin properties
Kabir, Ahmedul (2017-07)In steam turbine power plants, filming amines are injected into the steam header to coat and protect pipe surfaces against corrosion. Alkalizing amines are added to the boiler feed water to control pH of the condensate in ... -
