The first stable alpha-oxyoxonium species have been synthesized and characterized. Strong donation of nonbonding electrons on oxygen into the adjacent sigma*(C-O+) orbital was predicted by modeling to result in unheard of carbon-oxygen bond lengths. The kinetic stability of the triquinane ring system provides a platform upon which to study these otherwise elusive species, which are evocative of intermediates on the acetalization reaction pathway. Crystallographic analysis of the alpha-hydroxy and alpha-methoxy oxatriquinane triflates reveals 1.658 and 1.619 angstrom C-O+ bond lengths, respectively, the former of which is a new record for the C-O bond.

Carbon supported and surfactant stabilized metal nanoparticle catalysts for direct methanol fuel cells Çelik, Çağlar; Gökağaç Arslan, Gülsün; Department of Chemistry (2005) Carbon supported surfactant, such as 1-decanethiol and octadecanethiol, stabilized platinum and platinum/ruthenium species have been prepared recently. In this thesis, for the first time, 1-hexanethiol has been used as an organic stabilizer for the preparation of carbon supported platinum and platinum/ruthenium nanoparticle catalysts. These new catalysts were employed for methanol oxidation reaction, which were used for direct methanol fuel cells. Cyclic voltammetry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and tra...
GUEST HOST INTERACTIONS IN SODIUM ZEOLITE-Y - STRUCTURAL AND DYNAMIC NA-23 DOUBLE-ROTATION NMR-STUDY OF H2O, PME3, MO(CO)6, AND MO(CO)4(PME3)2 ADSORPTION IN NA56Y JELINEK, R; Özkar, Saim; PASTORE, HO; MALEK, A; OZIN, GA (American Chemical Society (ACS), 1993-01-01) Na-23 double-rotation NMR (DOR) provides site-specific structural and dynamical information on guest-host interactions within sodium zeolite Y pores. Quantitative adsorption of H2O, PMe3, and Mo(CO)6 guests affects both the positions and line shapes of the N-23 resonances from specific extraframework Na+ sites. The evolution of the Na-23 DOR spectra with the progressive introduction of guest molecules allows one to probe direct ''solvation'' effects involving the Na+ cations in the larger supercages, as wel...
Cobalt Metallopeptide Electrocatalyst for the Selective Reduction of Nitrite to Ammonium Guo, Yixing; Stroka, Jesse R.; Kandemir, Banu; Dickerson, Claire E.; Bren, Kara L. (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2018-12-12) A cobalt-tripeptide complex (CoGGH) is developed as an electrocatalyst for the selective six-electron, eight-proton reduction of nitrite to ammonium in aqueous buffer near neutral pH. The onset potential for nitrite reduction occurs at -0.65 V vs Ag/AgCl (1 M KCl). Controlled potential electrolysis at -0.90 V generates ammonium with a faradaic efficiency of 90 +/- 3% and a turnover number of 3550 +/- 420 over 5.5 h. CoGGH also catalyzes the reduction of the proposed intermediates nitric oxide and hydroxylam...
Asymmetric synthesis of chiral camphor fused pyridine type novel organocatalysts Küçükdişli, Murat; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Department of Chemistry (2009) Chiral pyridines as organocatalysts have been used in asymmetric organic synthesis in recent years. The asymmetric synthesis of camphor fused pyridine type novel organocatalysts were perfomed starting from cheap and easily available natural (+)-camphor. Using camphor fused pyridine skeleton, six organocatalysts 29, 32, 33, 38, 40, and 41were successfully synthesized. The first four nucleophilic and Lewis base catalysts 29, 32, and 33 are different P-oxides and P,N-dioxides which were tested in allylation of...
CATALYTIC CHARACTERISTICS OF MASSIVE AND LOADED SULFONIC RESINS IN THE SYNTHESIS OF ETHYL tert-BUTYL ETHER AT ATMOSPHERIC AND INCREASED PRESSURE Vlasenko, N. V.; Kochkin, Yu. N.; Strizhak, P. E.; Doğu, Timur; DOĞU, GÜLŞEN; OKTAR, NURAY; Degirmenci, L. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2010-11-01) The catalytic characteristics of massive and loaded sulfonic resins in the synthesis of ethyl tert-butyl ether at atmospheric and increased pressures have been compared. It has been established that massive sulfonic resins are more active than loaded resins at atmospheric pressure. At higher pressures, on the other hand, the activity and selectivity of catalysts are greater the lower the content of polymer as a result of the increased effectiveness of the acid centers.
