Newkome ______________________________ ______________________________ Department Chair Date Dr. Ali Dhinojwala ii ABSTRACT The goal of this research project was to develop a catalyst for the copolymerization of carbon monoxide (CO) and epoxides and/or aldehydes. Zwitterionic palladium and nickel complexes were synthesized that contained bidentate phosphine-borate ligands. Under the assumption that a polymerization mechanism similar to the established cobalt-catalyzed copolymerization of CO and aziridines is applicable, the zwitterionic nature of the complexes were expected to posses the high activity of cationic metal-acyl bonds, while maintaining the anionic nature required for ion pairing during the polymerization. Characterization of the nickel complex was completed through NMR spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. Upon completion of the metal complex syntheses a variety of polymerization conditions were screened, and the products were characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy. Although the spectroscopic methods showed the system had activity, a pure polymer product was not obtained. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Dr. Li Jia for his guidance and financial support to make this project possible. I would also like to thank my group members Nishant Kumar, Joseph Scavuzzo, Chao Wang, Sarang Bhawalkar, and Ilknur Babahan for their assistance with my research, and Jim Engle for his help with X-ray crystallography. Finally, I would like to thank my friends and family, especially my parents, who always support me in my endeavors. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Page List of Figures ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. ix List of Tables …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… xi List of Schemes ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. xii Chapter I.

While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image.

  • Chapter 7 Experimental
    Chapter 7 Experimental 7 Experimental 7.1 General Procedures All manipulations of metal complexes and air sensitive reagents were performed under an inert atmosphere of nitrogen either by the use of standard Schlenk and vacuum line techniques or in a nitrogen-filled glove box. Solutions were transferred using double ended needles (cannulae) and gas tight syringes. Glassware and double ended needles were oven dried at 160°C overnight. All reagents, including 1 5 N labelled compounds, were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich Pty. Ltd., except dimethylphenylphosphine, triallylphosphine, 1,2-bis (dimethylphosphino)ethane, and 1,2-bis (diethylphosphino)ethane, which were purchased from Strem Chemicals, Inc. and used as received. For the purposes of air sensitive manipulations and in the preparation of metal complexes, diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, hexane, toluene and benzene were stored over sodium wire and distilled prior to use from sodium/benzophenone ketyl under nitrogen. Methanol was dried over and distilled from magnesium turnings. Acetone was dried over and distilled from CaSO 4 . Dimethylformamide was dried over activated molecular sieves. Absolute ethanol, 2-methoxyethanol, 2,2-dimethoxypropane and anhydrous chloroform were used as received. - 221 - Chapter 7 Experimental All bulk compressed gases were obtained from British Oxygen Company (BOC Gases). Argon (>99.99%) and nitrogen (>99.5%) were passed through drying columns of potassium hydroxide before use. Methyl bromide (>95%), carbon monoxide (>98%) and dihydrogen (>99%) were used as supplied. Vinyl bromide was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and used as supplied. Air sensitive NMR samples were either prepared in a nitrogen-filled glove-box or by transferring the solutions by double ended needles through an air tight septum seal.
