Even though I was geographically far, a great person in Lebanon did not make me feel the distance and resumed 3 years at a glance. I owe my feelings and endless gratitude, in particular, to Georges Mansour for his unconditioned love and care. I will never forget all the good moments. Everything you did made me feel home and helped me turning stronger and succeed. It is time to thank the most important people in my life, my FAMILY: Mounir, Hoda, Joelle, Elias and Joseph and of course Chris or Adreana (that I fell in love with already :p). I am forever grateful for your endless love, patience, sacrifice, generosity on all levels, support, faith and encouragement for me to pursue my dreams, even if this costs years far from you. I want you to know that I love you all and proud to have you in my life in a way beyond words can ever describe … DEFINITION AlN: Aluminum nitride AC: Activated Carbon AB: Ammoniaborane BN: Boron nitride CVD: Chemical Vapor Deposition DOE: Department of energy DVB: Divinyl benzene H2: Molecular hydrogen H: Atomic hydrogen HHV: Higher Heating Value LHV: Lower Heating Value PEMFC: Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell PDCs: Polymer-Derived Ceramics PMMA: Polymethylmethacrylate SiAlCN: Aluminum-modified Silicon CarboNitride SiBCN: Boron-modified Silicon CarboNitride SiC: Silicon Carbide Si 3N4: Silicon Nitride SPS: Spark Plasma Sintering WP: Warm Pressing TABLE OF CONTENTS General introduction.......................................................................................................................... 2 I- Literature survey ...................................................................................................................... 10 1.

  • Synthetic Studies of Sodium Aminodiboranate Salts with Electron- Withdrawing Substituents
    SYNTHETIC STUDIES OF SODIUM AMINODIBORANATE SALTS WITH ELECTRON- WITHDRAWING SUBSTITUENTS BY CONNOR I. DALY THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Chemistry in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2020 Urbana, Illinois Adviser: Professor Gregory S. Girolami ABSTRACT Magnesium diboride, MgB2, has the highest superconducting critical temperature of all traditional superconductors and is being considered for the fabrication of superconducting integrated circuits that can operate at higher temperatures than analogous niobium alloy circuits. A significant barrier to preparing superconducting MgB2 thin films, however, is that the films must be deposited below 300 °C to prevent Mg from subliming out of the film and causing loss of the superconducting properties. One approach to solve this problem is to prepare low- temperature chemical vapor deposition (CVD) precursors which would enable deposition of MgB2 at temperatures low enough to prevent loss of Mg from the thin film. In chapter 1, we describe the synthesis of three new sodium aminodiboranate salts, Na(BH3)2NRR′, with trimethylsilyl groups on nitrogen. These compounds – sodium N,N-bis- (trimethylsilyl)aminodiboranate, sodium N-trimethylsilylaminodiboranate, and sodium N- methyl-N-trimethylsilylaminodiboranate – were prepared by the reaction of μ-aminodiborane(6) species with sodium hydride. IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and 11B NMR spectra are reported for all of these compounds, along with the crystal structures of N-trimethylsilylaminodiboranate and N- methyl-N-trimethylsilylaminodiboranate. Comparisons of 11B NMR chemical shifts suggest that steric, inductive, and hyperconjugative effects of the substituents on nitrogen are all in competition in these systems.

    Hydroboration Studies of Olefins with Heterocyclic Hydroborating Reagents with Various Transition Metal Complexes: Attemped Diastereoselective Synthesis of Homoallylic Alcohols via Hydroboration. Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Master of Science By Mbongeni M. Shungube School of Chemistry and Physics College of Agriculture, Engineering and Science University of KwaZulu-Natal Pietermaritzburg December 2016 Declaration The experimental work described in this dissertation was carried out in the School of Chemistry, College of Agriculture, Engineering and Science, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, under the supervision of Professor Ross S. Robinson. I hereby declare that these studies represent original work by the author and have not otherwise been submitted in any form for any degree or diploma to any tertiary institution. Where the use of published information from other authors has been made and it is duly acknowledged in the text. Signed …………………………………………… Mbongeni M. Shungube (Candidate) I hereby certify that this statement is correct. Signed …………………………………. Professor Ross S. Robinson (Supervisor) i Abstract Hydroboration is one of the key routes to afford organoborane esters which are versatile intermediate in organic synthesis. Investigations of different hydroborating reagents and catalysts toward hydroboration present alternative to achieve organoborane ester with different stability, selectivity, and yield. Hence, a part of this study was focused on the preparation of heterocyclic hydroborating reagents with a single site available for hydroboration. Four reagents were prepared which included the well-known catecholborane (23) and pinacolborane (24) and the hardly studied 2,3-dihydro-1,3,2-benzodiazaborole (31) and 2,3-dihydro-1,3,2-benzoxazaborole (34). A study to utilize hydroboration to prepare allylic boronic esters using the four hydroborating reagent above was also undertaken.
