Liu, Chun Yuan (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)A series of dimolybdenum compounds having a Mo2 4+ core coordinated by various ligands, including formamidinate (e.g. DAniF = N, NN-di-p-ansisylformamidinate ), acetate and/or acetonitrile molecules, have been synthesized ...
-
Hilfiger, Matthew Gary (2011-08-08)The work presented herein describes efforts to synthesize and characterize new types of cyanide-bridged molecular materials encompassing both discrete clusters and extended solids. This investigation focused on the ...

Al-Saadi, Abdulaziz A. H. (2009-05-15)The structure, potential energy functions and vibrational spectra of several cyclic and bicyclic molecules have been investigated using several spectroscopic techniques and high-level ab initio and density functional theory ...
-
Yang, Juan (Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)The vibrational potential energy surfaces in electronic ground and excited states of several ring molecules were investigated using several different spectroscopic methods, including far-infrared (IR), Raman, ultraviolet ...
-
Boopalachandran, Praveenkumar (2012-02-14)The infrared, Raman and ultraviolet spectra of pyridine-d0 and pyridine-d5 were recorded and assigned with a focus on the low-frequency vibrational modes in the S1(n,pi*) electronic excited state. An energy map for the ...
-
Jin, Jiayi (2009-05-15)A series of metal-organic complexes which all contain two bridged dimolybdenum cores were synthesized and studied. Common building blocks involved in this series of syntheses include Mo2(DAniF)3(O2CCH3) (DAniF = N, ...
-
Baranova, Zuzana (2017-09-04)The objective of this dissertation is the steric insulation of diplatinum polyynediyl complexes through the assembly of [2]rotaxanes, a class of mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs). The synthetic approach to these ...
