  • Nobel Lecture, 8 December 1981 by ROALD HOFFMANN Department of Chemistry, Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y
    BUILDING BRIDGES BETWEEN INORGANIC AND ORGANIC CHEMISTRY Nobel lecture, 8 December 1981 by ROALD HOFFMANN Department of Chemistry, Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y. 14853 R. B. Woodward, a supreme patterner of chaos, was one of my teachers. I dedicate this lecture to him, for it is our collaboration on orbital symmetry conservation, the electronic factors which govern the course of chemical reac- tions, which is recognized by half of the 1981 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. From Woodward I learned much: the significance of the experimental stimulus to theory, the craft of constructing explanations, the importance of aesthetics in science. I will try to show you how these characteristics of chemical theory may be applied to the construction of conceptual bridges between inorganic and organic chemistry. FRAGMENTS Chains, rings, substituents - those are the building blocks of the marvelous edifice of modern organic chemistry. Any hydrocarbon may be constructed on paper from methyl groups, CH 3, methylenes, CH 2, methynes, CH, and carbon atoms, C. By substitution and the introduction of heteroatoms all of the skeletons and functional groupings imaginable, from ethane to tetrodotoxin, may be obtained. The last thirty years have witnessed a remarkable renaissance of inorganic chemistry, and the particular flowering of the field of transition metal organo- metallic chemistry. Scheme 1 shows a selection of some of the simpler creations of the laboratory in this rich and ever-growing field. Structures l-3 illustrate at a glance one remarkable feature of transition metal fragments. Here are three iron tricarbonyl complexes of organic moie- ties - cyclobutadiene, trimethylenemethane, an enol, hydroxybutadiene - which on their own would have little kinetic or thermodynamic stability.

This new reaction could provide the foundation for a new structural class of bioreductively activated, hypoxia-selective antitumor agents. N-methyl-γ-picoliniumyl radicals are likely to damage DNA by way of H-abstraction and it is of paramount significance to assess their H-abstraction capabilities.

  • Mechanistic Approach to Thermal Production of New Materials from Asphaltenes of Castilla Crude Oil
    processes Article Mechanistic Approach to Thermal Production of New Materials from Asphaltenes of Castilla Crude Oil Natalia Afanasjeva 1, Andrea González-Córdoba 2,* and Manuel Palencia 1 1 Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Natural and Exact Science, Universidad del Valle, Cali 760020, Colombia; [email protected] (N.A.); [email protected] (M.P.) 2 Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Bogotá 111321, Colombia * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +57-1-316-5000 (ext. 14322) Received: 16 August 2020; Accepted: 23 October 2020; Published: 12 December 2020 Abstract: Asphaltenes are compounds present in crude oils that influence their rheology, raising problems related to the extraction, transport, and refining. This work centered on the chemical and structural changes of the asphaltenes from the heavy Colombian Castilla crude oil during pyrolysis between 330 and 450 ◦C. Also, the development of new strategies to apply these macromolecules, and the possible use of the cracking products as a source of new materials were analyzed. The obtained products (coke, liquid, and gas) were collected and evaluated through the techniques of proton and carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (1H and 13C NMR), elemental composition, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), saturates, aromatics, resins, and asphaltenes (SARA) analysis, and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A comparison of the applied methods showed that the asphaltene molecules increased the average size of their aromatic sheets, lost their aliphatic chains, condensed their aromatic groups, and increased their degree of unsaturation during pyrolysis. In the liquid products were identified alkylbenzenes, n-alkanes C9–C30, and n-alkenes.

  • Development of a High-Density Initiation Mechanism for Supercritical Nitromethane Decomposition
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School DEVELOPMENT OF A HIGH-DENSITY INITIATION MECHANISM FOR SUPERCRITICAL NITROMETHANE DECOMPOSITION A Thesis in Mechanical Engineering by Christopher N. Burke © 2020 Christopher N. Burke Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science August 2020 The thesis of Christopher N. Burke was reviewed and approved by the following: Richard A. Yetter Professor of Mechanical Engineering Thesis Co-Advisor Adrianus C. van Duin Professor of Mechanical Engineering Thesis Co-Advisor Jacqueline A. O’Connor Professor of Mechanical Engineering Karen Thole Professor of Mechanical Engineering Mechanical Engineering Department Head ii Abstract: This thesis outlines the bottom-up development of a high pressure, high- density initiation mechanism for nitromethane decomposition. Using reactive molecular dynamics (ReaxFF), a hydrogen-abstraction initiation mechanism for nitromethane decomposition that occurs at initial supercritical densities of 0.83 grams per cubic centimeter was investigated and a mechanism was constructed as an addendum for existing mechanisms. The reactions in this mechanism were examined and the pathways leading from the new initiation set into existing mechanism are discussed, with ab-initio/DFT level data to support them, as well as a survey of other combustion mechanisms containing analogous reactions. C2 carbon chemistry and soot formation pathways were also included to develop a complete high-pressure mechanism to compare to the experimental results of Derk. C2 chemistry, soot chemistry, and the hydrogen-abstraction initiation mechanism were appended to the baseline mechanism used by Boyer and analyzed in Chemkin as a temporal, ideal gas decomposition. The analysis of these results includes a comprehensive discussion of the observed chemistry and the implications thereof.

Clouston IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Connie C. Lu, Advisor July 2016 © Laura J Clouston 2016 Acknowledgments I am grateful to obtain my degree from the Chemistry Department at the University of Minnesota, were I could not be surrounded by better people. I was lucky to be a part of the Lu group, where I could always find someone to talk science or have a good laugh. I would like to thank Connie for welcoming me into the group and providing me with numerous opportunities to grow as a scientist. Thanks to the rest of the Lu group, past and present, you have all taught me something valuable that I will keep with me. Thanks to Deanna for guiding me through my first two years, and to Steve, Reed and Ryan for always keeping my expectations high. Thanks to Dave, the second year crew- Matt, Bianca, JT and Sai, and Azim for keeping the lab to be a fun place to spend the majority of your time. A special thanks to the Gagliardi group for a great collaboration, especially Varinia, who has calculated almost everything I have made or wanted to make, I have truly enjoyed working together. I am also thankful for the groups in the department that I have worked closely with, the Tonks, Tolman, Que, Ellis and Hoye groups, who have provided a wealth of advice, resources and chemicals throughout my graduate work.

West, Chemistry, University of Alberta William C. McCaffrey, Chemical Engineering, University of Alberta Lisa Rosenberg, Chemistry, University of Victoria Abstract A comprehensive investigation of cycloalkenyl-alkyne coupling reactions mediated by cobalt(III) templates is presented. The in situ derived cationic η3- cyclohexenyl complexes of cobalt(III) react with some terminal alkynes to afford either η1,η4-bicyclo[4.3.1]decadienyl or η2,η3-vinylcyclohexenyl products, depending on the type and concentration of the alkyne. The mechanism for this cyclohexenyl-alkyne cycloaddition reaction is consistent with the previously reported cobalt-mediated [3 + 2 + 2] allyl-alkyne coupling reaction.

  • The Metallomimetic Chemistry of Boron Marc-André Légaré,A,B
    The Metallomimetic Chemistry of Boron Marc-André Légaré,a,b,* Conor Pranckevicius,a,b,* Holger Braunschweiga,b a Institute for Inorganic Chemistry, Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg, Am Hubland, 97074 Würzburg (Germany). b Institute for Sustainable Chemistry & Catalysis with Boron, Julius-Maximilians- Universität Würzburg, Am Hubland, 97074 Würzburg (Germany). * These authors contributed equally Abstract: The study of main-group molecules that behave and react similarly to transition metal (TM) complexes has attracted significant interest in the recent decades. Most notably, the attractive idea of eliminating the all-too-often rare and costly metals from catalysis has motivated efforts to develop main-group-element-mediated reactions. Main-group elements, however, lack the electronic flexibility of many TM complexes that arise from combinations of empty and filled d-orbitals and that seem ideally suited to bind and activate many substrates. In this Review, we look at boron, an element which, despite its non-metal nature, low atomic weight, and relative redox staticity has achieved great milestones in terms of TM-like reactivity. We show how in inter-element cooperative systems, diboron molecules and hypovalent complexes, the fifth element can acquire a truly metallomimetic character. As we discuss, this character is particularly strikingly demonstrated by the reactivity of boron-based molecules with H2, CO, alkynes, alkenes and even with N2. 1.1. Introduction The transition elements are defined by their d-orbital sub-shell which has the unique situation of being partially filled.1 These d-orbitals, which are part of the valence shell of the transition metals, have become the salient feature of their chemistry and give them a unique place in the periodic table and in the realms of scientific interests and applications.
