Application of Deuterium Isotope Effects on NMR Parameters as a Method of Intramolecular Hydrogen Bond Characterization in Enolic Forms of 1,3-diketones in the Solid State
DownloadFall 2022
The application of deuterium isotope effects on 13C NMR chemical shifts to study the nature of intramolecular hydrogen bonding in the enolic forms of two 1,3-diketones, tetraacetylethane (TAE) and avobenzone, in the solid state is reported. Carbon-13 NMR spectra of natural abundance TAE and...

Exploration of Microscopic Structure and Dynamics in Halide Perovskite and Perovskite−Inspired Materials with Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy
DownloadSpring 2022
The work presented in this thesis describes the synthesis, structure, and optical properties of three different classes of halide-based perovskite materials, namely, metal halide perovskites of ABX3 type, halide double perovskites of A2B'B"X6 type, and “vacancy-ordered perovskites” of A2BX6 type...

Insights on local chemical structure of chalcogenide photovoltaic materials using solid state NMR spectroscopy
DownloadSpring 2023
Quaternary chalcogenides with the formula I2-II-IV-VI4 have emerged as promising candidates for photovoltaic materials, but many details about their structures remain poorly understood. This thesis describes the synthesis, structure determination, and optical properties of the sulfides Cu2MTtS4...

Fall 2022
A major challenge that plagues nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopists is the inherently low sensitivity of this workhorse characterization technique. This low sensitivity results in long acquisition times and/or costly isotopic-labelling to obtain good resolution and signal-to-noise...

Fall 2009
This thesis is concerned with applications of modern solid-state NMR spectroscopy. Investigations of three quite different types are undertaken, each of which attempt to advance knowledge in the fields of chemistry and NMR. The goal of each project is to obtain insight into the effects of...
