Archipelago Model Compound Synthesis by Rhodium-catalyzed Annulations of Island-tethered Alkynes with Aromatic Substrates
DownloadFall 2022
Asphaltenes are the most complex constituents in bitumen. They are distinguished from other components in bitumen by high density, high viscosity and a strong tendency to form aggregates in solutions. Asphaltene aggregates may precipitate as a result of small environmental changes, which is...

Climate and air quality impacts of boreal wildfires — new analytical approaches for the investigation of light absorption and atmospheric reactivity of wildfire particulate matter
DownloadSpring 2022
Wildfire smoke emissions contain substantial amounts of light-absorbing aerosols that can affect the radiation and cloud processes, resulting in climate impacts on regional and even global scales. The radiative impact of these light-absorbing aerosols is largely contributed by brown carbon (BrC),...

Studies on C–F Activation and Radiofluorination Reactions: Interactions of Fluorine with Boron and Silicon Lewis Acids
DownloadFall 2022
Boron and silicon Lewis acids form strong bonds with fluorine. This ability facilitates a range of interesting reactivity. For example, small boron/silicon reagents are at the forefront of C-F activation, a field focused on cleaving one or more C-F bonds in organofluorine compounds. In addition...

High Resolution Rotational Spectroscopic Studies of the Dynamics and Conformations of Dispersion and Hydrogen Bonded Molecular Complexes
DownloadFall 2022
High resolution rotational spectra of non-covalently bonded molecular clusters produced in a supersonic jet expansion can provide detailed and rich information about their structure-energy relationship and dynamical behaviors. In this thesis, several non-covalently bonded molecular clusters which...

Developing strategies for improving our understanding of the air quality impacts of dust heterogeneous chemistry
DownloadSpring 2022
Dust is one of the leading contributors to particulate matter (PM) in the atmosphere and can be natural (i.e., mineral dust) and anthropogenic (i.e., road and industrial dust) in origin. Natural and anthropogenic dusts provide a reactive surface for the chemical transformation of pollutant gases,...
