Mechanistic investigations of stoichiometric and catalytic Pt-mediated oxidative functionalization at a proximal boron center
(2013)
The focus of the work detailed in this dissertation is the investigation of mechanism and catalytic applications of Pt complexes supported by novel anionic di(2-pyridyl)borate ligands.
It was found that oxidation of ...
DIRHODIUM CAPROLACTAMATE CATALYZED OXIDATIONS BY TERT-BUTYL HYDROPEROXIDE. FROM MECHANISMS TO NEW METHODOLOGIES
(2012)
Dirhodium caprolactamate, Rh<sub>2</sub>(cap)<sub>4</sub>, is a very efficient catalyst for the generation of the <italic>tert</italic>-butylperoxy radical from <italic>tert</italic>-butyl hydroperoxide, and the ...
Expanding the Range of Polyolefins through Living Coordinative Chain Transfer Polymerization
(2012)
The strategy, termed living coordinative chain-transfer polymerization (LCCTP), has been explored to boost the efficiency and versatility of polyolefin synthesis by coupling a reversible chain-transfer process with living ...
Synthesis and Characterization of Bimetallic Zintl Clusters and their Use in the Fabrication of Intermetallic Nanoparticles
(2012)
In this thesis, the synthesis, characterization and applications of bimetallic Zintl clusters are explored. Zintl ions are polyanions of main group elements, primarily of the heavier elements of groups 14 and 15. The ...

Synthesis and Characterization of Low-Valent Aluminum and Gallium Compounds from Aluminum (I) and Gallium (I) Precursors
(2011)
In this thesis the design, assembly, and operation of a metal halide co- condensation reactor capable of generating metastable solutions of aluminum and gallium monohalides is described. In this reactor, gas-phase molecules ...
Synthesis and Characterization of Products Produced from Aluminum Monohalide Precursors
(2015)
In this thesis, the synthesis, characterization and applications of aluminum compounds and cluster from aluminum monohalide solutions, AlX (where X = Cl or Br) are described. Chemistry of AlX solutions is not well understood, ...
The effect of boric acid on the growth mechanism of electrodeposited metal nanostructures
(2014)
Electrochemical deposition (ECD) has been a primary method of metal plating for a variety of applications for nearly 100 years. Its popularity is due to its straightforward design, low cost, uniform results, and successful ...
Structural Changes and the Nature of Superconductivity in Rare-earth Doped CaFe2As2
(2014)
Chemical substitution into iron-pnictide parent compounds (e.g. AFe<sub>2<\sub>As<sub>2<\sub> where A=Ba, Sr, or Ca) has proven to be an effective means to induce bulk high-temperature superconductivity in these systems. ...
ELECTRONIC MODIFICATION WITHIN THE WELL-ESTABLISHED CPAM FRAMEWORK AS A MEANS TOWARD INCREASED REACTIVITY
(2017)
Early transition metals (group IV-VI) supported by the pentamethylcyclopentadienyl-amidinate mixed ligand set (CPAM) have been found to enable a number of important chemical transformations including (living) coordinative ...
