  • Synthesis by Successive Ionic Layer Deposition (SILD) Methodology and Characterization of Gold Nanoclusters on the Surface of Tin and Indium Oxide Films
    DOI 10.1515/pac-2013-1102 Pure Appl. Chem. 2014; 86(5): 801–817 Conference paper Ghenadii Korotcenkov, Larisa B. Gulina*, Beongki Cho*, Vladimir Brinzari and Valery P. Tolstoy Synthesis by successive ionic layer deposition (SILD) methodology and characterization of gold nanoclusters on the surface of tin and indium oxide films Abstract: The ability of successive ionic layer deposition (SILD) technology to synthesize gold clusters on the surface of tin(IV) oxide and indium(III) oxide films is discussed. It was shown that during the process, concen- tration of active sites that are capable of absorbing gold ions, and the size of the gold particles thus formed, may be controlled by both concentration of the solutions used and the number of SILD cycles. Thus, SILD methodol- ogy, employing separate and multiple stages of adsorption and reduction of adsorbed species, has considerable potential for customizing the properties of the deposited metal nanoparticles. In particular, it is shown that during the deposition of gold nanoparticles on the surface of tin(IV) oxide and indium(III) oxide films by SILD methodology, conditions can be realized under which the size of gold nanoclusters may be controllably varied between 1–3 nm and 50 nm. A model is proposed for the formation of gold clusters during the SILD process.

This section and the following are dedicated to you. First, to my advisor Catharine: thank you for seeing the potential in me, even when I didn’t see it myself. I entered this journey feeling thoroughly unconvinced I could handle it, but your unwavering support and guidance is the reason I am here today. I know it hasn’t been an easy five years by any means, but I wouldn’t rather have taken this trip with anyone but you. I will look back on my time at UCR with pride, as I was fortunate to work for such an amazing chemist, person, and friend.

REVIEW PAPER IN HETEROCYCLIC COMPOUNDS NAGHAM MAHMOOD ALJAMALI Organic Chemistry, Chemistry Department, College of Education ABSTRACT In this review paper, information about heterocyclic compounds, methods of synthesis, reactions , properties , stability, saturated and unsaturated cycles , aliphatic and aromatic cycles have been thoroughly reviewed and discussed. KEYWORDS : Heterocyclic, Three Membered, Seven, Cyclization, Sulfur,Nitrogen INTRODUCTION Three Membered Rings Heterocycles with three atoms in the ring are more reactive because of ring strain. Those containing one heteroatom are, in general, stable. Those with two heteroatoms are more likely to occur as reactive intermediates.

Recently, a sub-class of boranes known as boroles – five-membered unsaturated boracycles – has begun to receive attention due to the interesting properties afforded by the anti-aromatic nature of these compounds. We synthesized and characterized a new class of boroles wherein the borole ring is fused to a benzene ring. These “boraindenes” were found to be highly Lewis acidic by the Gutmann- Beckett method, even more so than the ubiquitous tris-pentafluorophenylborane.
