Book Phenanthroline based Copper Complexes for Water Splitting Applications

Download or read book Phenanthroline based Copper Complexes for Water Splitting Applications written by Kai Stührenberg and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The future environmental issues are inseparably connected with todays energy source mix, which is mainly based on fossil fuels. In order to retain the planet earth from severe climate changes, it is important to change the basis of our energy system towards renewable and sustainable sources. The utilization of nearly unlimited sources, like solar energy, is in this context a reasonable choice as point of origin.This dissertation pursues the goal to further establish copper as central metal for water splitting applications by thorough spectroscopic analysis in order to conclude structure-property relationships. Photoactive copper(I) complexes of 2,9-bis(halomethyl)-1,10-phenanthroline were synthesized and characterized by a variety of spectroscopic methods. Chemical analytic, like single crystal X-ray diffraction, NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and X-ray absorption spectroscopy, provided structural confirmation and insights into coordination geometry and electronic properties. During the cycle as photosensitizer, copper(I) is photo-oxidized to copper(II). The related structural and electronic changes during this photooxidation were investigated in detail using an combination of electrochemistry with UV/VIS absorption spectroscopy. The analysis of the spectroscopic data was also supported by computational chemistry to identify and assign transitions in the experimental data.In the case of water oxidation catalysis, precursors of copper(II) water oxidation catalysts were synthesized by conversion of a copper(II) salt with commercially available and tailored non-redox innocent ligands and analyzed by identified by a combination of single crystal X-ray diffraction and IR spectroscopy. Although the synthesis was assumed to be straightforward, a variety of interesting species were obtained in dependency on reaction parameters. ; eng

Book Synthesis  Characterization  and Catalytic Activity of Silica Supported Bimetallic Copper Catalysts for Organic Oxidation Reactions and the Study of Benzylation of Triketones

Download or read book Synthesis Characterization and Catalytic Activity of Silica Supported Bimetallic Copper Catalysts for Organic Oxidation Reactions and the Study of Benzylation of Triketones written by Nuwan Dileepa De Silva and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dissertation describes research work on development of bimetallic heterogeneous catalysts for oxidation of organic compounds. Binuclear metal complexes are an interesting class of compounds due to their catalytic activity. The approach involves anchoring a triketone ligand to Cab-O-Sil via a linker. Specifically, silica gel was allowed to react with p-chloromethylphenyltrimethoxysilane followed by coupling with deprotonated triketone compounds. The viability of this approach was verified by performing the benzylation reaction of triketones with benzyl halides under basic conditions. The benzylation of 2,4,6-heptanetrione and 1,5-diphenyl-1,3,5-pentanetrione is achieved with benzyl bromide using n-tetrabutylammonium fluoride as base. These benzylation reaction conditions were used to attach the triketones to the surface-attached linker. Once the ligand is attached to the silica gel, the catalyst is formed by coordinating two copper(II) ions from solution to the deprotonated triketone. The coordination of copper(II) ions to the triketone was monitored using UV-vis spectroscopy. The modified silica gel is characterized by diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier spectroscopy (DRIFTS), and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) at the different stages of catalyst formation. All techniques indicated significant attachment of linker and triketone to the support. The oxidation of 3,5-di-tert-butyl catechol (DTBC) and benzyl alcohol was carried out under aerobic conditions using these catalysts. The kinetics of the DTBC oxidation and benzyl alcohol oxidation was studied using bimetallic and monometallic catalytic systems. The copper complexes of the triketone ligands were also evaluated as catalysts for the oxidation of DTBC. New bimetallic metal complexes with triketone ligands having a benzyl group were synthesized and characterized by high resolution mass spectroscopy and IR spectroscopy. In addition to a detailed description of the synthesis and characterization of new triketone compounds, and the heterogeneous catalyst systems, a comparison of the kinetics of the oxidation of DTBC using these catalysts will be discussed.

Book Deterministic Kinetics in Chemistry and Systems Biology

Download or read book Deterministic Kinetics in Chemistry and Systems Biology written by Gábor Lente and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-03-09 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives a concise overview of the mathematical foundations of kinetics used in chemistry and systems biology. The analytical and numerical methods used to solve complex rate equations with the widely used deterministic approach will be described, with primary focus on practical aspects important in designing experimental studies and the evaluation of data. The introduction of personal computers transformed scientific attitudes in the last two decades considerably as computational power ceased to be a limiting factor. Despite this improvement, certain time-honored approximations in solving rate equations such as the pre-equilibrium or the steady-state approach are still valid and necessary as they concern the information content of measured kinetic traces. The book shows the role of these approximations in modern kinetics and will also describe some common misconceptions in this field.

Book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences

Download or read book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences written by Wade H. Shafer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS)* at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dis semination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an international publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 38 (thesis year 1993) a total of 13,787 thesis titles from 22 Canadian and 164 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this impor tant annual reference work. While Volume 38 reports theses submitted in 1993, on occasion, certain uni versities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.
