(S.Harish) iv Abstract In this thesis, novel synthetic routes in the preparation of nanostrucutred materials and their application in catalysis were explored. Nanostructured materials were synthesized using sol-gel, microwave activation and solid state decomposition methods. These materials were characterized using microscopy, spectroscopy and electrochemical techniques. Sol-gel method was followed to synthesize Au, Ag and AuAg alloy nano sols and their role on catalytic activity in chemical reduction of 4-nitrophenol was explored. Microwave assisted polyol method was studied for synthesize of carbon supported Pt, Ru and PtRu alloy nanoparticles and their electro- catalytic activity towards methanol oxidation. In-situ FT-IR technique was used to explain the mechanism of methanol oxidation. Solid state decomposition of Co 3[Co(CN) 6]2 was investigated to synthesize phase pure Co 3O4 and possible use of Co 3O4 as an anode material in Li ion battery was studied. The interaction between chloro metalates (of Au, Pt, Pd) and cyano metalates (of Fe, Ru) were investigated and this interaction was found to be a key step in the preparation of carbon supported alloy nanoparticles. Cyanogel processing in presence of carbon followed by thermal decomposition was exploited for the formation of carbon supported bimetallic alloy. Carbon supported bimetallic alloys were used as an electrocatalyst in methanol oxidation and oxygen reduction reactions. v ஆV4Kக இத ஆவறிைகயி, மாNபட Gைறயிைன பயப:தி மீ@ அைமEைடய நாேனா ெபாKக தயாZத மN அெபாKகளி விைனJ0 திறக பறி விவZகப: ள>. இெபாKக , கைரச-களி, மீஒலி ஊ0விE மN திம-நிைல சிைதV ேபாற Gைறகைள பயப:தி தயாZகப:, அவறி தைமக அதிநவ ீன எெலரா @ேணாகி, நிறமாைலமானி, மிப0பாV கKவிக ெகா: ஆராயபடன.

    Abstracts 1-68 Relate to the Sunday Program Biology 1. 100 Years of Genetics William Sofer, Rutgers University, Piscataway, NJ Almost exactly 100 years ago, Thomas Hunt Morgan and his coworkers at Columbia University began studying a small fly, Drosophila melanogaster, in an effort to learn something about the laws of heredity. After a while, they found a single white-eyed male among many thousands of normal red-eyed males and females. The analysis of the offspring that resulted from crossing this mutant male with red-eyed females led the way to the discovery of what determines whether an individual becomes a male or a female, and the relationship of chromosomes and genes. 2. Streptomycin - Antibiotics from the Ground Up Douglas Eveleigh, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ Antibiotics are part of everyday living. We benefit from their use through prevention of infection of cuts and scratches, control of diseases such as typhoid, cholera and potentially of bioterrorist's pathogens, besides allowing the marvels of complex surgeries. Antibiotics are a wondrous medical weapon. But where do they come from? The unlikely answer is soil. Soil is home to a teeming population of insects and roots, plus billions of microbes - billions. But life is not harmonious in soil. Some microbes have evolved strategies to dominate their territory; one strategem is the production of antibiotics. In the 1940s, Selman Waksman, with his research team at Rutgers University, began the first ever search for such antibiotic producing micro-organisms amidst the thousands of soil microbes. The first antibiotics they discovered killed microbes but were toxic to humans.

  • Assembly of Multifunctional Materials Using Molecular Cluster Building Blocks
    Assembly of Multifunctional Materials Using Molecular Cluster Building Blocks Bonnie Choi Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Columbia University 2018 © 2018 Bonnie Choi All rights reserved Abstract Assembly of Multifunctional Materials Using Molecular Cluster Building Blocks Bonnie Choi This thesis explores the synthesis, properties, and potential applications of molecular clusters and the hierarchical solids that form when complementary clusters are combined. Chapter 1 introduces the diverse set of molecular clusters that I employ as nanoscale building blocks in the assembly of multifunctional materials. The core structure of the molecular clusters is closely related to the superconducting Chevrel phases. In discrete clusters, however, the core is passivated by organic ligands, which add stability and important functionalities. The molecular clusters have rich physical and chemical properties of their own, and I present some of the techniques used to investigate their intrinsic electronic properties. Finally, I review some of the modes by which the molecular clusters interact with another to assemble into hierarchical solids. The structural tunability and complexity embedded in the molecular clusters will enable the design of modular, well-defined, multifunctional materials with desirable electronic and magnetic properties. Chapter 2 details the synthesis and characterization of a family of manganese telluride molecular clusters. By varying the ligands that decorate the surface of the inorganic core, I show that the core structures can be tuned. The study of molecular clusters provides insight into how extended solids form. As such, I make structural comparisons of the clusters to known solid-state compounds.

  • Directed Assembly of Metal-Cyanide Cluster Magnets LIANNE M
    Acc. Chem. Res. 2005, 38, 325-334 Directed Assembly of Metal-Cyanide Cluster Magnets LIANNE M. C. BELTRAN AND JEFFREY R. LONG* Department of Chemistry, University of California, Berkeley, California 94720 Received July 13, 2004 ABSTRACT The simple, well-understood coordination chemistry of the cyanide ligand is of significant utility in the design of new single-molecule magnets. Its preference for bridging two transition metals in a linear M′-CN-M geometry permits the use of multidentate blocking ligands in directing the assembly of specific molecular architec- tures. This approach has been employed in the synthesis of numerous high-nuclearity constructs, including simple cubic M4M′4(CN)12 and face-centered cubic M8M′6(CN)24 coordination clusters, as well as some unexpected cluster geometries featuring as many as 27 metal centers. The ability to substitute a range of FIGURE 1. Disc-shaped cluster [Mn12O12(O2CCH3)16(H2O)4]. different transition metal ions into these structures enables adjust- ment of their magnetic properties, facilitating creation of high- spin ground states with axial magnetic anisotropy. To date, at least four different cyano-bridged single-molecule magnets have been characterized, exhibiting spin-reversal barriers as high as 25 cm-1. Ultimately, it is envisioned that this strategy might lead to molecules possessing much larger barriers with the potential for storing information at more practical temperatures. Introduction More than a decade ago, it was discovered that [Mn12O12(O2- 1 CCH3)16(H2O)4] exhibits magnetic bistability. As depicted in Figure 1, this molecular cluster has a disc-shaped core IV consisting of a central Mn 4O4 cubane unit surrounded by a ring of eight oxo- and acetato-linked MnIII centers.

Beauvais, Matthew P. Shores, and Jeffrey R. Long* Contribution from the Department of Chemistry, UniVersity of California, Berkeley, California 94720-1460 ReceiVed April 25, 2001 3-/4- 3-/4- Abstract: Face-capped octahedral [Re6Se8(CN)6] clusters are used in place of octahedral [M(CN)6] complexes for the synthesis of microporous Prussian blue type solids with adjustable porosity. The reaction 3+ 4- between [Fe(H2O)6] and [Re6Se8(CN)6] in aqueous solution yields, upon heating, Fe4[Re6Se8(CN)6]3‚ 36H2O(4). A single-crystal X-ray analysis confirms the structure of 4 to be a direct expansion of Prussian 4- 3+ blue (Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3‚14H2O), with [Re6Se8(CN)6] clusters connected through octahedral Fe ions in a cubic three-dimensional framework. As in Prussian blue, one out of every four hexacyanide units is missing from the structure, creating sizable, water-filled cavities within the neutral framework. Oxidation of (Bu4N)4- [Re6Se8(CN)6](1) with iodine in methanol produces (Bu4N)3[Re6Se8(CN)6](2), which is then metathesized to 2+ 2+ give the water-soluble salt Na3[Re6Se8(CN)6](3). Reaction of [Co(H2O)6] or [Ni(H2O)6] with 3 in aqueous solution affords Co3[Re6Se8(CN)6]2‚25H2O(5)orNi3[Re6Se8(CN)6]2‚33H2O(6). Powder X-ray diffraction data show these compounds to adopt structures based on the same cubic framework present in 4, but with one out of every three cluster hexacyanide units missing as a consequence of charge balance.

Leznoff Senior Supervisor Professor Tim Storr Supervisor Associate Professor Zuo-Guang Ye Supervisor Professor Jeffrey J. Warren Internal Examiner Assistant Professor Prof. Mark M. Turnbull External Examiner Professor Carlson School of Chemistry Clark University Date Defended/Approved: January 12, 2018 ii Abstract This thesis focuses on exploring the synthesis and chemical reactivity of thiocyanate- y- based building blocks of the type [M(SCN)x] for the synthesis of coordination polymers. A series of potassium, ammonium, and tetraalkylammonium metal isothiocyanate salts of the type Qy[M(SCN)x] were synthesized and structurally characterized. Most of the salts were revealed to be isostructural and classic Werner complexes, but for (Et4N)3[Fe(NCS)6] and (n-Bu4N)3[Fe(NCS)6], a solid-state size-dependent change in colour from red to green was observed. This phenomenon was attributed to a Brillouin light scattering effect by analyzing the UV-Visible spectra of various samples with different sized crystals. Coordination polymers of the type [M(L)x][Pt(SCN)4] were prepared and structurally characterized using a variety of bi- or tri-dentate capping ligands (ethylenediamine, 2,2’- bipyridine, 2,2';6',2"-terpyridine, N,N,N′,N′-Tetramethylethane-1,2-diamine).

In the case of 1, a slow diffusion of the 3MeO component solutions led to the ionic compound Ph4P[Mn( Salen)(H2O)2]2[Re(CN)7]·6H2O(3). The direct mixing of the same solutions has resulted in the microcrystalline nearly insoluble 3MeO solid [Mn( Salen)(H2O))4Re(CN)7]ClO4·1.5MeCN·6.5H2O, which is likely to comprise the III + pentanuclear clusters [(Mn (SB)(H2O))4Re(CN)7] . The use of 2 resulted in a 2D-network 5Me assembly of octanuclear clusters, [{(Mn( Salen))6(H2O)2Re(CN)7}2Re(CN)7]Cl2(PF6)·H2O(4), incorporating one Re-center in a pentagonal bipyramid coordination environment, while another has strongly distorted capped trigonal prism as a coordination polyhedron. The latter was observed for the first time for Re(IV) complexes.

Dalton Transactions View Article Online PERSPECTIVE View Journal | View Issue Advances in f-element cyanide chemistry Cite this: Dalton Trans., 2015, 44, Jean-Claude Berthet, Pierre Thuéry and Michel Ephritikhine 7727 This Dalton perspective gives an overview of the development of cyanide chemistry of 4f- and 5f-elements, a field which was poorly explored in contrast to the attention paid to the cyanide complexes of the d transition metals. The use of the cyanide ligand led to the discovery of mono- and polycyanide complexes which exhibit unprecedented and unexpected coordination geometries. A new type of linear 3− − metallocenes including [U(Cp*)2(CN)5] (Cp* = C5Me5) and the first bent actinocenes [An(Cot)2(CN)] (An = Th, U; Cot = C8H8) were isolated.
