Investigation of Halogen Bond Interactions of Chiral Molecules Using Infrared, Vibrational Circular Dichroism, NMR, UV-vis Spectroscopy and Density Functional Theory Calculations
DownloadFall 2023
This PhD thesis shows the application of different spectroscopic and theoretical tools to probe the extent and possible interaction between various Lewis acids (halogen bond donor) and Lewis bases (halogen bond acceptors). Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) that is the chiral version of...

Investigation of Intermolecular Interactions of Chiral Molecules Using Vibrational Circular Dichroism Spectroscopy and Density Functional Theory Calculations
DownloadSpring 2019
Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy is the chiral version of infrared (IR) spectroscopy. The sensitivity of VCD spectroscopy towards absolute configuration and conformational aspects of chiral molecules makes it an effective experimental tool for analyzing chiral solute-chiral...

Investigation of mineral-mediated photochemical processes and the development of an automated TD-GC-FID/MS system coupled to an atmospheric reaction chamber
DownloadFall 2019
The atmospheric aqueous phase is an important reaction medium for the processing of both biogenic and anthropogenic organic compounds. Particularly, the formation of aqueous-phase secondary organic aerosol (aqSOA) and the influence on ambient air quality and regional climate are of increasing...

Investigation of New Intermolecular and Intramolecular Trapping Reactions of 1,2-Cyclohexadienes.
DownloadFall 2015
Small carbocyclic allenes are one of many reactive intermediates though their use in the formation of strategic bonds in organic chemistry is limited. While a vast literature exists detailing the generation and trapping of these species very little has been dedicated to investigating the...

Investigation of New Mild Routes to Substituted and Unsubstituted 1,2-Cycloheptadienes and Their Trapping Reactions
DownloadFall 2019
Strained cyclic allenes are one of many reactive intermediates. They are rare and underutilized chemical species, and their use in the formation of strategic bonds in organic chemistry is limited. Strained cyclic allenes have a unique reactivity that allows useful bond-forming processes to be...

Fall 2021
Transient cyclic allenes are strained reactive intermediates currently underexploited in the synthetic organic field. Although there are several literature-known ways to generate and capture cyclic allenes, there is still room for new complementary methods to be developed. This thesis will...

Investigation of Strain-Activated Trapping Reactions of 1,2-Cyclohexadiene: Intramolecular Capture by Pendent Furans and Styrenes
DownloadFall 2020
1,2-Cyclohexadiene is a small carbocyclic allene that as a reactive intermediate can be utilized in a variety of reaction pathways. The chemical literature around this species is largely limited to various methods of generation and simple trapping reactions. Little research exists on methods to...
