C–H Functionalization Catalysis via Transition Metal Stabilized Ligand-Based Radicals
(2021-04-23)Two catalytic systems exploiting the capability of introducing functionalities into C–H bonds using transition metal stabilized ligand-based radicals were explored. The first system utilizes sterically accessible bidentate ... -
Development and Study of Heterogeneous Earth-Abundant Oxygen Evolving Catalysts for Use in Diverse Electrolyte Environments
(2021-07-12)The realization of grid-scale utilization of intermittent, carbon-neutral power sources (such as solar and wind) hinges on the development of efficient methods for interconverting energy between electrical and chemical ... -
First-Row Transition Metal Complexes of Dipyrrinato Ligands: Synthesis and Characterization
(2013-10-15)A library of variously-substituted dipyrrins and their first-row transition metal (Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn) complexes have been synthesized, and the effects of peripheral substituents on the spectroscopic, electrochemical, and ... -
Late First-Row Transition Metals in Weak Ligand Fields - Correlating High-Spin Electronic Structure and Reactivity
(2013-09-16)High spin has been shown to be necessary for optimal reactivity of transition metal complexes toward the activation and functionalization of C-H bonds. This thesis presents our examination of the weak-field, tripodal, ... -
Synthesis and characterization of atomically precise nanoclusters with large footprint area and multipodal surface ligands
(2023-11-21)Constructing rigid covalent linkages between atomically precise nanoclusters would enable the unique catalytic and optical properties of individual nanoclusters—as well as emergent behavior from well-ordered nanocluster ...
