Kinetics Study of Solid-State Oxidation and Reduction
(2020-04-24)Solvent waste is a leading factor in the financial and environmental costs of synthetic chemistry. Solid state reactions are of interest to the greater scientific community because they have the potential to significantly ... -
Metalation of Linear NNN Pincer Ligands
(2020-04-24)A major trend of the chemical industry today is the practice of “greener” chemistry, including the reduction of waste. One simple mechanism to support the efforts of green chemistry is the use of organometallic catalysts. ... -
Metalation of Pyrrole-Based NNN-Pincer Ligands with Heteroaromatic Donor Substituents
(2020-04-24)Enzymes are extremely effective biological catalysts and are exemplary models for the design of smaller molecular catalysts. Inspired by such frameworks, we synthesized the pincer ligands 2,5-bis((1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl) ... -
Modeling an Accretion Disk
(2020-04-24)Stellar black holes are formed when a star of appropriate size reach the end of their life and no longer have the resources to keep it from collapsing in on itself. Due to the extreme gravitational pull from having a finite ... -
