University of Nevada, Reno the Design and Synthesis of Monomers University of Nevada, Reno The Design and Synthesis of Monomers for use in Two- Dimensional Polymerizations A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry by Dustin Day Patterson Dr. Benjamin T. King/Dissertation Advisor August 2017 UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA RENO THEGRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the dissertation prepared under our supervision by DUSTIN DAY PATTERSON Entitled The Design And Synthesis Of Monomers For Use in Two-Dimensional Polymerizations be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Benjamin T. King, Ph.D., Advisor Robert S. Sheridan, Ph.D., Committee Member Christopher S. Jeffrey, Ph.D., Committee Member Lora Richards, Ph.D., Committee Member Glenn Miller, Ph.D., Graduate School Representative David W. Zeh, Ph. D., Dean, Graduate School August 2017 i Abstract The Design and Synthesis of Monomers for Two-Dimensional Polymerizations Dustin Day Patterson Ph.D. Advisor: Professor Benjamin T. King The focus of this dissertation is the design and synthesis of monomers for use in the synthesis of two dimensional polymers (2DPs). 2DPs can be described as laterally connected repeat units which cover a plane with no gaps or overlaps. Monomers used for the synthesis of 2DPs must be designed with at least three reactive functional groups; this permits polymerization into a 2D sheet of repeat units. A total of seven different monomer designs were synthetically sought out. Three of the seven monomers, 1-H, 1-MeO, and 1-F are previously reported and their synthesis was improved upon. Synthesis of three novel monomers, 1-FOH, 1-FPOH, and 1-PZn was attempted with the completion of two of the three targets 1-FOH, 1-PZn and a known derivative, 1-P. The above monomers were designed with anthraceno functionalities intended to undergo [4+4] cycloadditions during solid state and air-water interface polymerizations. The monomers intended for polymerization at the air-water interface (1-FOH, 1-FPOH and 1-PZn) were designed with synthetic handles for attachment of a hydrophilic substituent. A pyridine-DEG ligand was synthesized to ligate 1-PZn at the air-water interface. Growth of single crystals of 1-P and 1-H:C70 co-crystals were grown and irradiated at 365 nm, 400 nm, and 465 nm at 100 K-250 K. However, no polymerization occurred because a proper packing motif allowing a topochemical 2D polymerization was not achieved. Monomer, 1-pyz, was synthesized using a novel route which takes advantage of Suzuki coupling chemistry. 1-pyz possesses three pyrazole functionalities intended to undergo ii coordination with a metal center during polymerization. Monomer 1-pyz relies on reversible coordinative bonding in solution to form a metal coordinated lamellar crystal that can be exfoliated into single 2DP sheets. The highly insoluble monomer was reacted with various Ag, Au, and Mn salts under high temperature and superheated high pressure conditions towards polymerization. A single crystal containing metal coordinated layers of 1-pyz has yet to be realized. iii This thesis is dedicated: to my friends and family for their support and encouragement to my lab mates, past and present to my advisor, Professor Benjamin T.

Siegel, Chair Corannulene (C20H10) is a polyaromatic hydrocarbon that can be considered as the smallest fragment of Buckminsterfullerene exhibiting a curved surface. Among the in- teresting properties of corannulene are rapid bowl inversion and esthetically appealing fivefold symmetry (C5v), which is rare in chemistry. Whereas the first synthesis in 1968 only afforded milligram quantities, several improvements in the synthetic strategy finally culminated in the development of an efficient process which today furnishes corannulene in kilogram quantities.

Received: 17 September 2018; Accepted: 11 October 2018; Published: 14 October 2018 Abstract: The sulfur-containing derivatives and their metabolites, regarded as ‘old devils of green’ chemistry, constitute a relevant class of air/water/soil contaminants in over-polluted world. In fact, some industrially-engineered solvents have become environmentally unfavorable. An attractive alternative to commonly used industrial liquids is sulfolane (C4H8SO2), an anthropogenic medium. The main objective of this paper is the comprehensive review focusing mainly on the state-of-the-art aspects of the sulfolane synthesis, application of sulfolane as an extractive solvent due to its ‘unique’ physicochemical properties as well as the potential of sulfolane to cause equipment corrosion and subsequent spills. The potential risk for groundwater contamination, danger for human health and ways of sulfolane biodegradation were briefly reviewed as well. Interestingly, the analysis performed on data stored in the Reaxys database revealed an alternating tendency of waxing and waning interest in sulfolane during the space of the last fifty years.

  • Molecular Assembly of Polycyanoarenes with Silver Salts

MÁRQUEZ B.Sc. Central University of Venezuela, 1993 Kansas City, Missouri 2012 © 2012 GERARDO B. MÁRQUEZ ALL RIGHTS RESERVEDED MOLECULAR ASSEMBLY OF POLYCYANORENES WITH SILVER SALTS AND SYNTHESIS OF POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS Gerardo Batalla Márquez, Candidate for the Doctor of Philosophy Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2012 ABSTRACT This dissertation encompasses the investigation of two distinct subjects. In the first part, which is in the area of molecular self-assembly, the complexation of organonitrile aryl compounds with three different types of silver (I) salts is examined in the solid state. The assembly of 1-(2,2-dicyanovinyl)naphthalene with silver hexafluoroantimonate resulted in a cationic 3D network. Complexation of 4-(2,2-dicyanovinyl)biphenyl with silver tetrafluoroborate and hexafluoroantimonate from benzene generated two similar structures. While the former displays a cationic 3D network, the latter is defined by cationic 2D sheets. Complexation of 9-(2,2-dicyanovinyl)anthracene with silver hexafluoroantimonate from toluene afforded a cationic 2D ribbon, and from benzene, it yielded cationic 2D sheets. These complexes contained solvent bonded to their structures. However, the hexafluoroantimonate ion is nonbonding. The crystal association of 1,4-bis(cyanovinyl)benzene with silver triflate from benzene yielded neutral 2D sheets whose imperfect-rectangular macrocyclic arrangements are interconnected on both sides by bridges of benzene. On the other hand, the assembly of 1,3- bis(cyanovinyl)benzene with silver triflate from benzene afforded a neutral 3D network formed by two interconnected rings.

    Synthesis of Functionalized Benzenoid Macrocycles: An Approach to Accessing Functionalized Cycloparaphenylenes by Rolande Meudom A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science Auburn, Alabama May 8, 2016 Keywords: Carbon nanotubes, Cycloparaphenylenes, p-terphenylophanes, Bent p-phenylene Macrocycles, Copyright 2016 by Rolande Meudom Approved by Bradley L. Merner, Chair, Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry Peter Livant, Associate Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry Anne E. V. Gorden, Associate Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry Steven Mansoorabadi, Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry Abstract Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are cylindrically shaped allotropes of carbon with exceptionally good electronic and optical properties. The current state of art for making these CNTs involves heating graphite in a high temperature furnace (above 600 °C). The use of harsh temperatures makes the process unselective and produces CNTs as an inseparable mixture of products. Currently, there is no efficient purification technique for isolating pure CNTs. In order to fully exploit the electronic properties of CNTs, they need to be made as homogeneous and monodispersed structures. Thus, synthetic chemists envisioned using chemical synthesis from the ground-up via a template strategy as a more viable approach to achieve the selective synthesis of uniform CNTs structures with a defined chirality and diameter. This is because the selective synthesis of curved PAHs like [n]ciruclenes and CNT substructures could only be accomplished through chemical synthesis. The work described herein focuses on a new approach to accessing highly distorted p-phenylenes, which does not rely on cross coupling reactions and the use of the Burgess reagent as a mild dehydrative aromatization agent, giving access to highly strained benzenoid macrocycles.
