Structural and physical investigations of novel germanium compounds: Aryloxides, nanomaterials, and photolysis of oligogermanes
(2014-05)
The work described in this dissertation will explore the synthesis and characterization of novel germanium containing compounds in order to gain a better understanding of the organometallic chemistry of germanium. These ...
Vibrational Spectroscopy and Chemometrics Applied to the Forensic Analysis of Automotive Paints and Edible Oils
(2019-07)
Profiling of complex materials (e.g., automotive paint and cooking oil) with infrared and Raman spectroscopy is an active area of research with a large and growing literature. The object of profile analysis is to correlate ...
Development and applications of novel monolithic stationary phases for liquid phase separations
(2016-07)
This dissertation aims at developing novel monolithic stationary phases for HPLC, in which three different materials were fabricated for different modes of separation, such as hydrophilic liquid interaction chromatography ...
Development of reagents and reactions to be used in visible light photocatalysis
(2020-07)
Visible light photocatalysis has become a powerful synthetic tool that can be used to promote various functional group transformations through the use of visible light as a green and traceless reagent. Recently, we have ...
Bronsted Acid Site Heterogeneity in Zeolite HZSM-5 and Synergistic Effects with Water in Hydrocarbon Reactions
(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 ...
