DISCOVERING THE ELECTRONIC PROPERTIES OF METAL HYDRIDES, METAL OXIDES AND ORGANIC MOLECULES USING ANION PHOTOELECTRON SPECTROSCOPY by Allyson M. Buytendyk A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland September, 2015 © 2015 Allyson M. Buytendyk All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Negatively charged molecular ions were studied in the gas phase using anion photoelectron spectroscopy. By coupling theory with the experimentally measured electronic structure, the geometries of the neutral and anion complexes could be predicted. The experiments were conducted using a one-of-a-kind time- of-flight mass spectrometer coupled with a pulsed negative ion photoelectron spectrometer. The molecules studied include metal oxides, metal hydrides, aromatic heterocylic organic compounds, and proton-coupled organic acids. Metal oxides serve as catalysts in reactions from many scientific fields and understanding the catalysis process at the molecular level could help improve reaction efficiencies - - (Chapter 1). The experimental investigation of the super-alkali anions, Li3O and Na3O , revealed both photodetachment and photoionization occur due to the low ionization potential of both neutral molecules. Additionally, HfO- and ZrO- were studied, and although both Hf and Zr have very similar atomic properties, their oxides differ greatly where ZrO- has a much lower electron affinity than HfO-. In the pursuit of using hydrogen as an environmentally friendly fuel alternative, a practical method for storing hydrogen is necessary and metal hydrides are thought to be the answer (Chapter 2). Studies yielding structural and electronic information about the hydrogen - - bonding/interacting in the complex, such as in MgH and AlH4 , are vital to constructing a practical hydrogen storage device. -

Access to Aryl Mellitic Acid Esters through a Surprising Oxidative Esterification Reaction Abstract A serendipitously discovered oxidative esterification reaction of cyclohexane hexacarboxylic acid with phosphorus pentachloride and phenols provides one-pot access to previously unknown aryl mellitic acid esters. The er action features a solvent-free digestion and chromatography-free purifications and demonstrates the possibility of cyclohexane-to-benzene conversions under relatively mild, metal-free conditions.

Reactivity and Functionalization of Naphthalene and Anthracene Complexes of {Tpw(NO)(Pme3)}
Reactivity and Functionalization of Naphthalene and Anthracene Complexes of {TpW(NO)(PMe3)} Laura Jessica Strausberg Baltimore, Maryland B.A., Hollins University, 2008 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Chemistry University of Virginia July, 2013 ii Abstract Chapter 1 introduces the organic chemistry of aromatic hydrocarbons, with attention paid to regiochemical outcomes of organic reactions. The binding of naphthalene and anthracene to metal complexes is discussed, along with organic transformations they undergo as a result of their complexation. The previous work on osmium and rhenium complexes of naphthalene from the Harman group is explored. Finally, some spectroscopic techniques for exploring the chemistry of {TpW(NO)(PMe3)} complexes of naphthalene and anthracene are introduced. Chapter 2 discusses the highly distorted allyl complexes formed from {TpW(NO)(PMe3)} and the exploration of their origin. Attempts at stereoselectively deprotonating these cationic complexes is also discussed. 2 Chapter 3 describes our study of TpW(NO)(PMe3)(3,4-η -naphthalene)’s ability to undergo a Diels-Alder reaction with N-methylmaleimide. A solvent study suggested that this reaction proceeds by a concerted mechanism. To probe the mechanism further, we synthesized a series of methylated and methoxylated naphthalene complexes and measured their rates of reaction with N-methylmaleimide compared to the parent complex. We found that 1- substitution on the naphthalene increased the rate of cycloaddition, even if the substituent was in the unbound ring, while 2-substitution slowed the reaction rate when in the bound ring. This information is consistent with a concerted mechanism, as a 2-substituted product would be less able to isomerize to form the active isomer for the cycloaddition to occur. -

ANTHRAQUINONE and ANTHRONE SERIES Part IX
ANTHRAQUINONE AND ANTHRONE SERIES Part IX. Chromatographic Adsorption of Aminoanthraquinones on Alumina BY N. R. RAo, K. H. SHAH AND K. VENKATARAMAN, F.A.Sc. (Department of Chemical Technology. University of Bombay, Bombay) Received November 10, 1951 CORRELATIONS between chemical constitution and chromatograpl~c behaviour can only be attempted in molecales of the same or similar types and under specified conditions of chromatographic treatment, since complex solvent- adsorbent, solute-solvent and solute-adsorbent relationships are involved. Changes in the sequence of adsorption of the constituents in a mixture have been observed, ooth when the adsorbent is changed and when the deve- loping solvent is changed. Thus Strain was able tc separate some ternary mixtures in four of the six pessible sequences by changing the solvent1; and LeRosen found that cryptoxanthin is aloove lycopene on alumina and on calcium carbonate columns, but the order is inverted on a column of calcium hydroxide, using benzene as developer with all the three adsoroents. 2 An inversion of the sequence of adsorption of N-ethyl-N, N'-diphenylurea and 4-nitro-N-ethylaniline was observed by Schroeder when a slight alteration in the composition of the developer (2 or 5~o of ethyl acetate in light petro- leum) was made. 3 LeRosen has defined the adsorption affinity R as the rate of movement of the adsorptive zone (mm./min.) divided by the rate of flow of developing solvent. 2 R values have been used for standardizing adsorbents and for determining the efficiency of developers; using the same adsorbent and solvent, R values provide a quantitative measure of the adsorption affinities of a series of compounds which can then be correlated with their chemical constitution. -

Wood Modified by Inorganic Salts: Mechanism and Properties
WOOD MODIFIED BY INORGANIC SALTS: MECHANISM AND PROPERTIES. I. WEATHERING RATE, WATER REPELLENCY, AND IIIMENSIONAL STABILITY OF WOOD MODIFIEID WITH CHROMIUM (111) NITRATE VERSUS CHROMIC ACID' R. S. Willianzs and W. C. Feisl Research Chemists Forest Products Lab~ratory,~Forest Service U.S. Department of Agriculture Madison, WI 53705 (Received October 1983) ABSTRACT Chromic acid treatment of wood improves surface characteristics. A simple dip or brush application of 5% aqueous chromic acid to a wood surface stops extractive staining, improves dimensional stability, retards weathering of unfinished wood, and prolongs the life of finishes. A better understanding of how chromic acid effects these improvements may facilitate the development of even better treatments. The improvements may be due to a combination offactors: oxidation ofwood by hexavalent chromium compounds, formation of coordination coml~lexeswith trivalent chromium, and the presence of insoluble chromium compounds at the surface. Most trivalent chromium compounds do not become fixed in wood (i.e., do not form water-insolublf: wood-chemical complexes). However, chromium (111) nitrate treatment of western redcedar (Thuja plicata), southern pine (Pinus sp.), and ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) produced modified wood with properties similar to chromic acid-treated wood. Evaluation of the chromium (111) nitrate- and chromic acid-modified wood by leaching, Xenon arc- accelerated weathering, and swellometer experiments clearly demonstrated similar fixation, erosion, and water-repellent properties. Based on the results from chromium (111) nitrate-treated wood, fixation through coordination of trivalent chromium with wood hydroxyls an(5 formation of insoluble chromium appear to be the critical factors in improving the performance of the treated wood. -

Abstract: Due to their beneficial properties, the use of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NP) is constantly increasing, especially in consumer-related areas, such as food packaging and food additives, which is leading to an increased oral uptake of ZnO NP. Consequently, the aim of our study was to investigate the cellular uptake of two differently sized ZnO NP (<50 nm and <100 nm; 12–1229 µmol/L) using two human intestinal cell lines (Caco-2 and LT97) and to examine the possible resulting toxic effects. ZnO NP (<50 nm and <100 nm) were internalized by both cell lines and led to intracellular changes.
