    A Rhodium Centered Supramolecular Complex as a Photoinitiated Electron Collector by Mark Christopher Elvington Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virgnia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry Karen J. Brewer, Chair Mark R. Anderson Paul A. Deck Brian E. Hanson Gordon T. Yee July 24, 2007 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Supramolecular, photochemistry, photocatalysis, electron transfer A Rhodium Centered Supramolecular Complex as a Photoinitiated Electron Collector Mark Christopher Elvington Abstract The research presented here is focused on photochemical studies of a supramolecular structural motif for photoinitiated electron collection. The complex studied, [{(bpy)2Ru(dpp)}2RhCl2](PF6)5, is of the form LA-BL-EC-BL-LA comprising a Ru(II) polyazine light absorber (LA) bearing two bpy (bpy = 2,2’-bipyridine) ligands, two dpp (dpp = 2,3’-bis(2-pyridyl)pyrazine) bridging ligands (BL), and a central rhodium(III) electron collector (EC). Ruthenium-polyazine light absorbers are commonly used in light to energy conversion systems due to the intense metal to ligand charge transfer (MLCT) absorptions observed in the visible spectrum. Electrochemical methods establish rhodium as the site of localization of the lowest lying unoccupied molecular orbital, while phosphorescence measurements are used to study electron transfer within the supramolecular assembly. Electrochemical and photochemical experiments show that the absorption of light in the rhodium centered supramolecular complex, [{(bpy)2Ru(dpp)}2RhCl2](PF6)5, can initiate the sequential transfer of multiple electrons to the rhodium metal center, i.e. photoinitiated electron collection. A mechanistic study of photoinitiated electron collection, involving a Stern-Volmer analysis of emission quenching and product formation, is also presented, to determine the rate constants of the possible excited state and ground state reactions.

Voltammetric techniques are most suitable to investigate the redox properties of a new drug. Use of electrochemistry is an important approach in drug discovery and research as well as quality control, drug stability, and determination of physiological activity. The indole nucleus is an essential element of a number of natural and synthetic products with significant biological activity. Indole derivatives are the well-known electroactive compounds that are readily oxidized at carbon-based electrodes, and thus analytical procedures, such as electrochemical detection and voltammetry, have been developed for the determination of biologically important indoles. This paper explains some of the relevant and recent achievements in the electrochemistry processes and parameters mainly related to biologically important indole derivatives in view of drug discovery and analysis. 1. Indoles in Medicinal Chemistry of the sulfur containing 2PI derivatives show in vivo anti- neoplastic and antiestrogenic activity [9, 10]. Furthermore, Indole is an aromatic heterocyclic compound that has a some indole derivatives, such as melatonin and serotonin, bicyclic structure.

  • DC Cell Analysis Techniques Pulse Voltammetry John Harper and Brian Sayers Application Guide: AGML11 Solartron Analytical, Farnborough, UK
    electrochemistry DC cell analysis techniques Pulse Voltammetry John Harper and Brian Sayers Application Guide: AGML11 Solartron Analytical, Farnborough, UK. Introduction Polarographic techniques were among the first to be developed by electrochemists as a set of standardized methods with analytical solutions of diffusion equations. They are commonly employed in trace analysis applications such as trace metal analysis in water quality and analysis of blood. Historically, mercury electrodes were the substrate of choice. However, due to the toxicity of mercury, many studies now use inert materials such as boron-doped diamond electrodes. This demonstration experiment shows how the ModuLab potentiostat applies and measures the voltage and current for three common polarographic techniques; normal, differential and square wave pulse voltammetry. Key system capabilities used in this demonstration • In addition to conventional forward and reverse current measurements per pulse, ModuLab allows the user to sample current and voltage continuously while using pulse techniques. This allows the user to check the pulse shapes and decide where the “per pulse” type measurements should be made. This is a very useful feature since the timing varies due to the cell time constant and DC scan rates. • This is also a useful feature to check that the correct waveform is being applied to the cell. Equipment required for this demonstration • ModuLab Potentiostat, ModuLab Test Cell Connections • Connect coloured cables to their corresponding connections on the test cell Experiment setup Select "AGML11 Pulse Voltammetry" in the "ModuLab Application Guide" project Either a multiple step experiment as below, or individual experiments for each pulse technique Step # Purpose Step 1 Normal Pulse Voltammetry step Step 2 Differential Pulse Voltammetry Step 3 Squarewave Voltammetry Additional test possibilities: • The low current femto ammeter option may be used for better current resolution if needed.

  • A Specific Gravity Index for Minerats
    A SPECIFICGRAVITY INDEX FOR MINERATS c. A. MURSKyI ern R. M. THOMPSON, Un'fuersityof Bri.ti,sh Col,umb,in,Voncouver, Canad,a This work was undertaken in order to provide a practical, and as far as possible,a complete list of specific gravities of minerals. An accurate speciflc cravity determination can usually be made quickly and this information when combined with other physical properties commonly leads to rapid mineral identification. Early complete but now outdated specific gravity lists are those of Miers given in his mineralogy textbook (1902),and Spencer(M,i,n. Mag.,2!, pp. 382-865,I}ZZ). A more recent list by Hurlbut (Dana's Manuatr of M,i,neral,ogy,LgE2) is incomplete and others are limited to rock forming minerals,Trdger (Tabel,l,enntr-optischen Best'i,mmungd,er geste,i,nsb.ildend,en M,ineral,e, 1952) and Morey (Encycto- ped,iaof Cherni,cal,Technol,ogy, Vol. 12, 19b4). In his mineral identification tables, smith (rd,entifi,cati,onand. qual,itatioe cherai,cal,anal,ys'i,s of mineral,s,second edition, New york, 19bB) groups minerals on the basis of specificgravity but in each of the twelve groups the minerals are listed in order of decreasinghardness. The present work should not be regarded as an index of all known minerals as the specificgravities of many minerals are unknown or known only approximately and are omitted from the current list. The list, in order of increasing specific gravity, includes all minerals without regard to other physical properties or to chemical composition. The designation I or II after the name indicates that the mineral falls in the classesof minerals describedin Dana Systemof M'ineralogyEdition 7, volume I (Native elements, sulphides, oxides, etc.) or II (Halides, carbonates, etc.) (L944 and 1951).

The target compounds are 3,5-diphenyl-1,2,4-dithiazolium perchlorate salt 3+, 3-diethylamino-5-phenyl-1,2,4-dithiazolium perchlorate salts 1+ and 3,3,5,5- tetramethyl-1,2,4-dithiazolium hexafluorophosphate salt 14+. Crystals of 3+ are monoclinic, space group P21/c, a = 8.9194 (11) Å, b = 10.8047 (14) Å, c = 15.422 (2) Å, β = 102.91 (2) º, V = 3 + 1448.67 (3) Å , Z = 4 and R = 6.79 %. Crystals of 1 are monoclinic, space group P21/n, a = 7.4531 (9) Å, b = 12.0752 (15) Å, c = 17.09 (2) Å, β = 102.5 (10) º, V = 1501.6 (3) Å3, Z = 4 and + R = 2.9 %.

  • 166 the Amerucan MINERALOGIST Only a Small Quantity of Foreign
    166 THE AMEruCAN MINERALOGIST Only a small quantity of foreign material need be adsorbedto control the crystallization. Analyses of various epidotes show a varying amount of impurities. The greater portion of this foreign material was occluded during the process of crystallization and was not added by the processcf adsorption. The elongation of epidote crystals along the 6 axis is believed to tre satisfactorily explained as a result of the reaction of intro- duced material with rock material amenable to such reactivity. During the processof crystallization, due to adsorption of foreign material, the growth of the crystals along the b axis is retarded to a greater extent lhan along the c axis. Lindgren'so contention, that replacement is essentially a process of adsorption and super-saturation, receives, then, additional support from the foregoing observations, with regards to the importan ce of adsorption. 6Mineral Deposits, p. 26,New York, 1919. A NEW THEORY OF THE COMPOSITION OF THE ZEOLITES. PART IV (Continued.frorn page 152) A. N. WTNcr;ELL,Uni.versi,ty of Wi.sconsin 5. TnB Couposrrrow oF Hpur,arvorrB AND Rnrarrp Znolrres Doelterr has collected 47 analyses of heulandite and three more have been published since the date of his compilation. However, many of these are too old to be of high quality, and some were made on impure m4terial. In heulandite, as in other zeolites, the ratio between AlzOs and iiO+nrO is very nearly constant and very nearly unity. Excluding therefore a few analyses because this ratio is unsatisfactory, the "superior" analyses of heulandite are the following: Doelter'sNos.

  • Silicon Aluminium Ordering in the Framework of Zeolites
    SILICON ALUMINIUM ORDERING IN THE FRAMEWORK OF ZEOLITES GLAUCO GOTTARDI and ALBERTO ALBERTI GOTTARDI, GLAUCO and ALBERTI, ALBERTO, 1985: Silicon aluminium ordering in the framework of zeolites. Bull. Geol. Soc. Finland 57, Part 1—2, 197—206. The (Si, Al) ordering scheme in the framework of zeolites is reviewed, and four classes are recognized: 1 — zeolites with Si: Al = 1 : 1 and a simple order given by the alternation of Si and Al; 2 — zeolites with Si> Al and an ordered distribution; 3 — zeolites with Si>Al and partial Al-enrichment in some tetrahedra; 4 — zeolites with Si>Al and complete disorder, or at least with a framework that in principle favours disorder. A crystallization model requiring the formation of cages of tetrahedra around a hydrated cation acting as a template is suitable for classes 3 and 4, but not for classes 1 and 2, which require the standard crystal growth scheme. Key words: zeolite, framework, (Si, Al) order, crystallization. Glauco Gottardi and Alberto Alberti: Istituto di Mineralogia e Petrologia, Univer- sitå di Modena, via S.Eufemia 19, 41100 Modena, Italy. Introduction Class 1: Zeolites with Si: (Si 4- Al) = 0.50.
