Combustion Synthesis And Doping Of Titanium Dioxide
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 2007-09-19)
A novel combustion technique was used for the preparation and doping of titanium dioxide (TiO2). This metal oxide of titanium is a large band gap semiconductor (3.0 - 3.2 eV) that primarily absorbs in the ultraviolet ...
Effect Of Structure And Stereochemistry On Cytotoxicity Of Ruthenium Polypyridyl Complexes
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 2007-08-23)
Efforts to develop novel non-platinum, metal-based antitumor drugs have been pursued by many groups and ruthenium complexes have drawn a lot of attention as prospective transition metal-based antineoplastic agents. Recently, ...
Coupling Photodriven Multielectron Reduction Of Ruthenium Polypyridyl Complexes With Hydrogen Evolving Co-catalysts
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 2007-09-17)
With energy demands continuing to increase, the importance of finding a means of converting solar energy into a usable form of chemical energy continues to escalate. Photocatalysis provides a viable approach to harnessing ...
Investigation Of The Suitability Of The Biscatecholborate Anion As A Reductive Quencher For Photoexcited Ruthenium Polyphyridyl Complexes
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 2007-08-23)
Ruthenium polypyridyl complexes [Ru(L-L)3]2+, (L-L = 1,10 - phenanthroline or 2,2'- bipyridine) which covalently linked to electron donor or acceptor units are frequently used in artificial photosystems because of their ...
Investigations Of The Mechanism Of DNA Cleavage Using Ruthenium Polypyridyl Complexes
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 2007-08-23)
We have synthesized a ruthenium complex, [(phen)2Ru(tatpp)Ru(phen)2]4+ (P4+), which has been shown to undergo various redox and protonation steps to form different species that can be monitored by UV-Vis spectroscopy. In ...
Surface Functionalization Of Polymer Substrates And Nanoparticles Via Pulsed Plasma Polymerization Process
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 2007-08-23)
This thesis investigates the RF plasma polymerizations of chlorinated saturated linear monomer 1,1,1-trichloroethane and the dicarboxylic citraconic acid. It utilizes a variable duty cycle plasma technique to provide film ...
