TITLE: Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Studies of Boron Trifluoride and Some of Its Complexes AUTHOR: John Stephen Hartman, B.Sc. (Queen's University), M.Sc. (University of Ottav,a) SUPVERVISOR: Professor R. J. Gillespie NUMB8R OF PJ\GES: xi, 231 SCOPE Al\JD com:ENTS: Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy has been used to study donor'.'"acceptor complexes of boron trifluoride with ketones, water, and methanol. Various NMR techniques have been applied which, in certain favourable cases, hDve yielded information on the stoichiometry, struc­ ture, relative stabilities, and reactions of the complexes in soluUon. A new method is proposed for the detection of BF complexes having low 3 formation constants. The me.gni tude and sign of the B-F. coupling constant in the tetra­ fluoroborate anion have been found to be dependent on the solvent. This solvent dependence is interpreted in terms of salvation and association of the ion in solution. 19 10 F spectra of BF over a ranc;e of temperatures agree well 3 with line shapes calculated, using Pople's expressions, for coupling of fluorine-19 with boron-10 (1=3) which is undergoing partial quadru­ pole relaxation. ii ACKNO\'/LEDGEMI~NTS The author wishes to thank his research director, Professor R.

  • Reduction of Aldehydes and Ketones to Their Corresponding Alcohols in 1- Butyl-3-Methylimidazolium Tetrafluoroborate
    REDUCTION OF ALDEHYDES AND KETONES TO THEIR CORRESPONDING ALCOHOLS IN 1- BUTYL-3-METHYLIMIDAZOLIUM TETRAFLUOROBORATE Josiane Ayingeneye Dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the academic requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the School of Chemistry and Physics, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban. Supervisor: Prof Vincent O. Nyamori February 2018 Abstract The use and release of volatile organic solvents (VOS) to the atmosphere have become detrimental to both human health and his environment. In addition, the non-recyclability and the excessive consumption of these solvents in chemical industry influence their high costs. This has incited the growing need towards the design of new processes and benign solvents, helping in minimizing these raised issues. Ionic liquids (ILs) which are acknowledged as green and environmentally friendly solvents, are assigned as promising alternatives for replacing these VOS. The review of some ILs aspects such as structure, synthesis methods, physicochemical properties, solvent applications in reduction reactions, and their recyclability gave an impressive trend and a motivation towards our work. Synthesis of 1-butyl-3- methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([BMIM][BF4]), as typical IL and investigation of its solvent efficiency, in the reduction of aldehydes and ketones to their corresponding alcohols, were the core objectives of this research. [BMIM][BF4] was synthesized via microwave (MW) and conventional methods. The characterization of the synthesized [BMIM][BF4] was done by means of Fourrier transform infrared (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (1H- and 13C-NMR,) and liquid chromatograph- mass spectroscopy (LC-MS) techniques. Physicochemical properties of [BMIM][BF4] related to its solvent application, such as water content, density, viscosity and thermal stability, were explored.

Many common routes to these compounds, however, are low yielding and or/expensive. This thesis is concerned with novel methods for the synthesis of fluoro-aromatics and fluoro- pyrazoles using conventional fluorinating agents, such as Selectfluor™, as well as using elemental fluorine and the flow reactor technology developed in Durham. Firstly, elemental fluorine was used to fluorinate a range of aromatics containing electron-donating substituents, using both batch and flow methods.

Candeias Keywords: imine condensation, organoboron compounds, N-B bond, boroxazol- idones, aryl aldehydes, base catalysis Imines are an important group of compounds for many chemical reactions in organic chemistry, mostly as electrophiles. In nature, imines are important for the transamina- tion reaction. N-B bonds are interesting because they can be thought of as an analogy to a C-C bond. However, unlike a C-C bond, the N-B bond is polarized. Imines and N-B bond-containing compounds both have similar potentials as pharmaceuticals. Both of these groups can have antibacterial, antifungal and anticancer effects. The N-B bond focused on in this thesis is formed when an amino acid reacts with a boron compound to form a hetero ring structure known as a boroxazolidone. In this master’s thesis, the imine condensation between aldehydes and boroxazolidones, and the N-B bond were studied.

  • 1 Optimization of Salt Concentration and Explanation of Two Peak
    Optimization of salt concentration and Explanation of Two Peak Percolation in Blend Solid Polymer Nanocomposite Films Anil Arya, A. L. Sharma* Centre for Physical Sciences, Central University of Punjab, Bathinda, Punjab-151001, INDIA E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The present paper report is focused toward the preparation of the flexible and freestanding blend solid polymer electrolyte films based on PEO-PVP complexed with NaPF6 by solution cast technique. The structural/morphological features of the synthesized polymer nanocomposite films have been investigated in detail using X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscope, and atomic force microscopy + -6 -1 techniques. The film PEO-PVP+NaPF6 (Ö /Na = 8) exhibits highest ionic conductivity ~5.92×10 S cm at 40 °C and ~2.46×10-4 S cm-1 at 100 °C. The temperature dependent conductivity shows Arrhenius type behavior and activation energy decreases with the addition of salt. The high temperature (100 °C) conductivity monitoring is done + for the optimized PEO-PVP+NaPF6 (Ö /Na =8) highly conductive system and the conductivity is still maintained stable up to 160 h (approx. 7 days). The thermal transitions parameters were measured by the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements. The prepared polymer electrolyte film displays the smoother surface in addition of o salt and a thermal stability up to 300 C. The ion transference number (tion) for the highest conducting sample is found to be 0.997 and evidence that the present system is ion dominating with negligible electron contribution. Both linear sweep voltammetry and cyclic voltammetry supports the use of prepared polymer electrolyte with long-term cycle stability and thermal stability for the solid state sodium ion batteries.
