Poland, Ross Rivers (2012-07-16)This dissertation is written in two parts. The first pertains to polycarbonate and polyester synthesis using relatively benign processes. The synthesis of polycarbonates from the coupling of CO2 and epoxides catalyzed ...
-
Chung, Wan-Chun (2015-10-05)The copolymerization of epoxide and carbon dioxide catalyzed by metal complexes provides an efficient method for synthesizing polycarbonates. Compared to industrial polycarbonate production, which involves toxic phosgene ...
-
Zhu, Congzhi (2019-03-21)Torsional conformation of the backbone of a π‐conjugated molecule or macromolecule shapes its solubility, optical and electronic characteristics, rheological behaviors, solid‐state properties, and ultimately materials ...
-
Lo, Ying Hao (2019-10-01)The use of Z-ligands to modulate the electronic property of transition metal centers is a powerful strategy in catalyst design. Our group has shown that antimony-based ambiphilic ligand, accept electron density from adjacent ...
-
Wei, Sheng-Hsuan (2013-07-24)Polycarbonates are found in a variety of common products in daily life due to their favorable mechanical and electrical properties. In addition, they are widely used in biomedical areas due to their stability and biological ...
-
Saha, Sayan (2019-10-21)The serendipitous discovery of cisplatin marks a milestone achievement in the field of medicinal inorganic chemistry and spearheaded the development of anticancer metallotherapeutics. Ruthenium (Ru) compounds hold great ...
-
Yuan, Shuai (2018-07-27)Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are an emerging class of porous materials constructed from metal-containing nodes and organic linkers. Due to their structural and functional tunability as well as their ever-expanding ...
-
Giles, Ian (2012-07-16)Research into anion-pi interactions has shifted from attempts to establish the legitimacy of the interaction to the incorporation of anion-pi interactions into supramolecular architectures. The research discussed in this ...
-
Hung, Ming-Uei (2021-08-18)Metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of aryl halides or pseudohalides with nucleophiles have been ubiquitous and powerful tools to construct new C–C bonds in synthetic organic chemistry. Among the nucleophiles, arylboronic ...
-
Kuppler, Ryan John (2011-10-21)The primary goal of this research concerns the synthesis of organic ligands in an effort to create metal-organic porous materials for the storage of gas molecules for alternative energy applications as well as other ...
-
Ke, Iou-Sheng (2013-08-08)As part of our continuing interest in the chemistry of main group Lewis acids, we have now chosen to investigate the Lewis acidic behavior of organoantimony(V) species. In the first part of this thesis, we will describe ...
-
Zhao, Hai Yan (2012-07-16)The recognition and capture of fluoride, cyanide and azide anions is attracting great deal of attention due to the negative effects of these anions on the environment and on human health. One of common methods used for ...
-
Kim, Youngmin (2011-10-21)Due to favorable Coulombic effects, cationic main group Lewis acids should be more Lewis acidic than their neutral counterparts. To investigate this idea, this dissertation has been dedicated to the synthesis, characterization ...
-
Tin, Antimony, Bismuth, and Tellurium Lewis Acids in sigma-Accepting Ligands for Transition Metals Lin, Tzu-Pin (2012-10-19)The interactions between ligands and transition metals have been an essential subject in inorganic chemistry. Other than the commonly known L-type (two-electron donors) and X-type ligands (one-electron donors), Z-type ...
-
Lopez Cruz, Nazario (2011-08-08)Research in the fields of molecular conductors and magnets over the past four decades has involved collaborative efforts of chemists and physicists whose common goal is to design useful materials composed of molecular ...
