E Z Stereoisomerization in Methylene bis-Dithiocarbamate and N,N,S Trimethyldithiocarbamate
Pharr, Caroline; Thorburn, John (2003-04-01)Rates of rotation about the carbon-nitrogen partial double bond in N,N,Strimethyldithiocarbamate (1) and methylene bis-dithiocarbamate (2) were measured by the dynamic NMR technique known as selective inversion recovery. ... -
Eddy Covariance Flux Determination of MBO Using the Fast Isoprene System
Mielke, Levi (2004-04-01)Experimentation into the dehydration reaction of 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol (MBO) to 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene (isoprene) sought to utilize the Fast Isoprene System (FIS) for MBO eddy covariance flux measurements. It was hypothesized ... -
Gravimetric Titrations are More Accurate, More Precise, and Easier than Volumetric Titrations
Lynn, M. Christina (2010-04-01)Gravimetric titrations were compared statistically in this study with volumetric titrations. A sodium hydroxide solution was standardized with pure potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP). This solution was then used to analyze ... -
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 ... -
Rural Water Disinfection In The Developing World: Designing A General Chemistry Lab Experience
Doherty, Mickey (2010-04-01)A simple electrolysis apparatus was set up with a 10 wt% NaCl solution using a stainless steel cathode and a graphite anode to produce a hypochlorite ion solution. The hypochlorite ion solution was quantified to around 600 ... -
Synthesis of (3S)-(+)-diethyl-2-(l-oxoethyl)-5-phenyl-(3 N-p-Toluenesulfinamido) pentylphosphonate
Brensdal, Kelli (2004-04-01)It has been found that reactions between pentacovalent oxaphospholenes (P(V)) and various electrophiles produced substituted phosphonates under mild conditions. Using an imine as an electophile with the oxaphospholene would ... -
Synthesis of (Bi2Te3)x(Sb2Te3)y and (TiTe2)x(Sb2Te3)y(TiTe2)x(Bi2Te3)z Superlattices: An Investigation into Thermal Conductivity Dependence on Superlattice Period
Matelich, Ben (2006-04-01)There is disagreement concerning the effect superlattice period has on thermal conductivity. Accordingly, Bi2Te3/Sb2Te3 and Bi2Te3/TiTe2/Sb2Te3 superlattices were synthesized to determine whether differing thicknesses of ...
