The Synthesis of Rhodium Catalyst-Organic Frameworks for Isomerization and Continuous-Flow Hydrogenation Reactions
DownloadFall 2013
The development of immobilized asymmetric catalysts is of vital importance as it would allow for easy catalyst recovery from the reaction mixture and reuse. One strategy for immobilization involves the synthesis of insoluble polymer-supported catalysts. Most polymeric catalysts are made by...

Thin film alloys and composites for application of hydrogen storage and oxygen reduction electrocatalysts
DownloadSpring 2015
This thesis encompasses aspects of alloy design, fabrication and characterization of thin films, which are employed as model systems to enhance hydrogen storage kinetics and thermodynamics in magnesium hydride and to enhance the catalytic efficacy and corrosion stability of platinum-based...

Spring 2018
Quantum dots (QDs) have drawn substantial attention in multidisciplinary research in science, technology, and biomedicine during the last three decades. However, the toxicity of heavy metals and the depleting earth abundance of some elements common to QDs have prompted the development of...

α-exo-Alkylidene γ-lactones and γ-lactams via 2-alkoxycarbonyl allylboronates: mechanistic studies, diversity-oriented synthesis and target-oriented synthesis
DownloadSpring 2010
Allylboration reactions have been thoroughly utilized in organic chemistry since it was discovered that they could add in a nucleophilic fashion to aldehydes and ketones in 1964. Modification of allylboronates and the substrates that they can react with has been the focus of many research groups...
