A Cooperative Approach to the N-Solution Problem
Murray, Sean (2012-04-01)Collaboration is an ever-present element in scientific research today. Even within laboratories and research teams, colleagues need to analyze, interpret, and disseminate research outcomes individually. Despite this need, ... -
Investigation of the Reaction Properties of Copper Promoted Triazine Formation From Nitriles
Hurtle, Bryan (2012-04-01)The reaction properties of various copper species toward nitrile activation to generate triazines are being examined. This study supports the conclusion that a copper (II) species does not provide nitrile activation without ... -
Investigation of the Scope and Reaction Properties of Metal Promoted Reactions with Nitriles to form Triazines
Gill, Zach (2010-04-01)The reaction properties of copper acetylacetonate, Cu(acac)2, toward nitrile activation to generate triazine-containing species are being examined. Results indicate necessity of a nitrogen containing base for the reaction ... -
Quality Assurance of Electrostatic Micro-Electro Mechanical Relays: Radiation Hardness
Laskowski, Forrest (2012-04-01)As electrostatic Micro-Electro Mechanical relays have the potential to solve power density issues related to current MOSFET technology, it has become ever more important to examine device reliability. Beyond applications ... -
Unconventional reaction media: A solvent-based discovery lab for first-year undergraduates
Addison, Conrad (2011-04-01)A general chemistry laboratory that illustrates the effectiveness and benign nature of unconventional reaction media is outlined in a three step procedure: 1) a solventless condensation reaction between two solids, 2) an ...
