Investigation Into The Scope, Limitations, And Mechanistic Aspects Of A Regioselective Acylation Of Cycloplatinated Complexes
(East Carolina University, 2015)In the reaction of N-isopropyl-N-phenyl-2,2'-bipyridin-6-amine with potassium tetrachloroplatinate, the selective C-H bond activation was complicated by the low selectivity of sp² C-H bond activation in acetonitrile and ... -
Modern and Classic Quantum Chemistry: Modeling Rhodium-Catalyzed Hydroacylation with Advanced Tools and the Development and Application of Software to Examine Simple Bonding Interactions in a Basis of Molecular Fragments
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)In this dissertation, both modern and classic computational methods are utilized to examine two problems of interest in the field of chemistry. The first problem involves a complex rhodium-catalyzed hydroacylation reaction ... -
Solvent-Controlled Switch of Selectivity between sp[superscript]2 and s[superscript]p3 C-H Bond Activation by Platinum (II)
(East Carolina University, 2010)Cyclometalation reactions have been studied intensely for the past few decades, especially those containing palladium. The factors that control the process of the C-H bond activation, however, are not yet completely ... -
SYNTHESIS AND PHOTOPHYSICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF TRIDENTATE C^N*N PLATINUM (II) COMPLEXES and, INVESTIGATION OF SELECTIVITY IN C-H BOND ACTIVATION BY PLATINUM
(East Carolina University, 2012)The synthesis, structure, and photophysical properties of a series of novel, highly luminescent tridentate platinum complexes with general coordination geometry of (C^N*N)-PtL are reported, where "C^N" denotes a coordination ...
