▼ Switchable-hydrophilicity solvents (SHSs) are solvents that in one state forms a biphasic mixture with water but can be reversibly switched to another state that is miscible with water. In theory, this switch can be triggered in a number of ways, however we focus on dissolved CO2 as the switchable trigger. The most practical use of an SHS is for extraction of a water-immiscible liquid product from a solvent in which it is dissolved (as demonstrated by the extraction of bitumen from the oil sands, bio-oil from algae, etc). This technology provides a more environmentally-friendly means of extraction over current popular processes such as distillation. Since their discovery in 2010, more than 25 nitrogen-based SHSs have been reported in the literature. The SHS behaviour seems to be strongly correlated with hydrophilicity and basicity, not surprisingly. Indeed, amine solvents which demonstrate SHS behaviour are contained within a specific hydrophilicity and basicity range. This range can be predicted based on fundamental acid-dissociation and partitioning equations which, once developed, reveal other tuneable parameters. These parameters are intrinsic (molecular weight and density) as well as extrinsic (CO2 pressure and water:SHS volume ratio). The extrinsic parameters enable the switchable range to expand - enabling less basic and more hydrophobic solvents to act as SHSs. This is of interest since one of the goals of SHS technology is to replace volatile, smog-forming and bio-accumulating solvents with environmentally benign ones. Having a greater range to choose SHSs from increases the chances of finding more environmentally benign solvents. The other goal of SHS technology is to be as effective, if not more, than conventional solvents for extractions. Equipped with a mathematical description of the SHS process, it is a simple matter of optimizing the resulting equations in terms of the extrinsic parameters. Increasing the pressure of CO2 as well as the water:SHS volume ratio increases the amount of SHS that is extracted from the liquid product. This is true for the two-liquid system (composed of water and SHS) as well as the three-liquid system (composed of water, SHS, and a water-immisible organic liquid), though their mathematical descriptions are different.

▼ As part of an ongoing program in the area of green
chemistry, we have considered the synthesis of room temperature
ionic liquids and their application as reaction medium in organic
transformations. The efforts and contribution towards the
preparation and application of ionic liquids have been summarized
in the form of this thesis. The thesis entitled ?Synthesis of ionic
liquids: Application to Wittig, reduction and aromatic nucleophilic
substitution reactions? is divided into five chapters. CHAPTER-I:
Introduction to ionic liquids This chapter deals with the 12
principles of green chemistry, ?E? factor, atom efficiency,
possible alternative solvents and their applications, ionic
liquids, and a few examples on the application of RTILs in organic
synthesis. CHAPTER-II: Synthesis and characterization of
citronellal based chiral ionic liquids Chapter 2 deals with the
preparation and characterization of a series of chiral ionic
liquids starting from the chiral pool citronellal. Several new
chiral ionic liquids were prepared starting from both the isomers
of citronellal with dialkyl amine as the amine source. The Schiff
base, thus obtained, was reduced and further reacted with alkyl
halides to give ionic liquids. The strategy could begeneralized
with several dialkyl amines to design chiral ionic liquids.

▼ Amines and their derivatives are important functionalities. Therefore, developing efficient methods for the synthesis of amines has attracted tremendous attention. Among a number of synthetic methods, the direct reductive amination of carbonyl compounds is still the most common procedure. Dibutylbenzylamine and diethylbenzylamine were synthesized through the direct reductive amination of benzaldehyde with dibutylamine and diethylamine, respectively. This results in the 63% and 33% yield for the dibutylbenzylamine and diethylbenzylamine. The non-commercially available products were then used as the standards for the analysis of reaction products. Recently,
green chemistry has become an important issue. The aim of
green chemistry is to use non-toxic and environmentally friendly reagents. The
green method used in this study uses subcritical water as the reaction medium. In representative comparisons, reactions in subcritical water occurred consistently faster and produced fewer by-products. Time, temperature, and the ratio of reagents were optimized for each reaction. The optimal conditions for dibutylbenzylamine were 1:6 (benzaldehyde to DBF), 340 °C, and 60 min with 88% yield, while for diethylbenzylamine were 1:6 (benzaldehyde to DEF), 340 °C, and 75 min with 54% yield.

▼ With the gradual depletion of the non-renewable fossil fuel resources and the emerging environmental concerns, the need of exploring renewable synthesis routes of our daily basic stocks is rising. Due to the large contribution to the global primary energy (up to 40% in some countries), biomass has recently been advocated to be one of the most promising alternatives for fossil fuel. This thesis focuses on the catalytic transformations of biomass or biomass derived molecules into valuable small alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, and propanol, which can be used as both fuel and chemical synthesis intermediates. Novel catalysts with high activity and selectivity toward target products are desperately required in the development of renewable chemical synthesis routes. In the past 200 years, platinum metal catalysts have been widely used in the industry. But nowadays, Pd is attracting increasing attentions due to (i) its similar physicochemical properties to those of Pt, (ii) its higher natural abundance than Pt. Alloying has been demonstrated as an effective method in enhancing the catalytic properties of noble metals. In this thesis, a new and facile method for the preparation of supported bimetallic NPs with tunable compositions is developed. Through the establishment of a type II hetero-junction in support, controllable amounts of metallic atoms can be derived from the reduction of the metal oxide support, with the assistance of a supported noble metal. A series of extremely small Pd-based bimetallic NPs with a variety of modifier atoms at tunable compositions, namely PdFe, PdCo, PdNi and PdZn, have been synthesized by this method. These novel bimetallic NPs are applied to the catalytic conversion of biomass or biomass derived molecules containing repeating vicinal diol units. It is demonstrated that the catalytic performance of Pd in bimetallic phase is governed by the d-band structure. The high degree of d-band filling and high d-band center position favour the selective C-O cleavage in hydrogenolysis of vicinal diol units. On the other hand, the selective C-C cleavage can be achieved by lowering the d-band filling of the Pd-based bimetallic NPs. The specificity of C-C bond rupture over that of C-O increases in order of PdZn < PdNi < PdCo < PdFe, with progressive d-band filling reduction, eventually reaches 95% in a series of vicinal diols hydrogenolysis. As a result, small alcohols are produced with high selectivity as the degradation products of biomass molecules when PdFe bimetallic NPs are employed as catalyst. Conversely, by incorporating Co atoms at high concentration, PdCo exhibits a high selectivity in breaking C-O bond of ethylene glycol due to the raised d-band center position and gives ethanol as the main product. Pd@Zn bimetallic NPs with an imperfect core(Pd)-shell(Zn) structure were used in a methanol synthesis route from biomass transformation via CO2 hydrogenation (CO2/H2 is produced from low temperature reforming of biomass resource).…

An experimental study of small pore zeolites for the upgrading of biomass to furfural.

▼ Furfural derived from lignocellulosic biomass is a valuable platform molecule in the production of renewable liquid fuels and chemicals. With ever-increasing emphasis on reducing dependence on traditional petroleum-derived fuels and chemicals, the production of value-added chemicals from biomass has the potential to have a major global economic and environmental impact. To do so efficiently and sustainably requires the development and evaluation of new catalysts for these applications. These catalysts must not only be effective at catalyzing the conversion of sugars to furfural, but also must be easily separated, regenerated, and reused following each reaction. In this study, several small pore zeolites and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were evaluated for use in the dehydration of xylose, glucose, and switchgrass to furfural in a monophasic system of 90/10 gamma-valerolactone (GVL)/water. Based on results of initial experiments, three small pore zeolites, SAPO-34, SAPO-56, and DNL-6, became the major focus of these studies. The pore sizes of these molecules are significantly smaller than the kinetic diameters of xylose and glucose, which would lead one to predict minimal furfural production over these catalysts due to limited acid site access. In spite of that, moderate furfural yields of approximately 40% were achieved over SAPO-34 and SAPO-56 from xylose. Moderate furfural yields were also achieved from non-pretreated switchgrass over the SAPO catalysts in the GVL/water system, with strong evidence that both xylose and glucose were converting to furfural. Furfural degradation in GVL/water was minimal compared to degradation in a purely aqueous solvent. No leaching of acid sites occurred with the SAPO-34 catalyst, and it was recycled multiple times with only a 5% drop in furfural yield from first to final reaction. Most previous research using zeolite catalysts to upgrade biomass has focused on medium and large pore zeolites, as their pore apertures more closely match the kinetic diameters of the relevant component sugars of biomass. The results presented in this study suggest that small pore zeolites are also worthy of ongoing research.

▼ This dissertation describes studies
encompassing a variety of areas of carbocation
chemistry.
Carbocation formation in ionic liquids, which are polar aprotic
solvents, was studied. The
chemistry of some unusual silicon
substituted carbocations was also investigated. Reactions of a
number of triflates, mesylates and trifluoroacetates in ionic
liquids have been investigated. It was concluded that these
substrates all react via carbocationic intermediates. In fact, some
of the ionic liquids under investigation were found to have an
ionizing power similar to that of CF3CH2OH, a commonly used solvent
for carbocation formation. Evidence in support of this conclusion
include the observation of carbocationic rearrangements in a
variety of substrates, a Hammett-Brown rho+ value of Ì¢âÂ"7.1 for
the solvolyses of 1-aryl-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl triflates, and the
facile solvolysis of 1-adamantyl mesylate which necessarily
proceeds via a carbocationic intermediate. Some unusual reactivity
was seen in ionic liquids as well. For example, it was found that
small concentrations of water in the ionic liquids have a
significant impact on the rates of solvolyses of mesylates. The
effect of water on triflate solvolyses however, was negligible.
Additionally, a novel oxidation process of triflates involving loss
of sulfinate was found to occur in certain ionic liquids. An
investigation of the stabilizing effect of beta-silyl groups on
cyclopropyl carbocations was also undertaken. The normally large
effect of a beta-silyl group (which can cause solvolysis rate
enhancements of up to 1012) was found to be greatly repressed in
cyclopropyl systems. Computational studies agreed with this
conclusion. The intermediate silyl-substituted cyclopropyl cations
instead tended to undergo ring opening since silyl stabilization is
reduced. A similar study was undertaken involving cyclobutyl
carbocations. Incorporation of a beta-silyl group into cyclobutyl
carbocations led again to a smaller than expected b-silyl
stabilization. In fact, the effect was successfully quashed in a
beta-silyl benzocyclobutenyl carbocation in which beta-silyl
stabilization would have led to antiaromatic character in the
carbocation. The gamma-silyl effect was also investigated in
cyclobutyl systems. Experimental and computational studies showed
that gamma-silyl stabilization can occur via two distinct modes.
Either the front, or the rear lobe of the gamma-silyl group can
donate electron density into the empty p-orbital of the
carbocation. This effect was also found to be much larger than
previously recorded.

▼ Hydrophobic
green rusts (GR) were produced using aerial oxidation of solutions containing bis (2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (BIS) and sodium N-lauroylsarcosinate (SNLS), iron (II) sulfate and sodium hydroxide. The synthesis was conduced at constant pH 8.0±0.1 for the duration of 1-3 hrs. Partition tests showed GRBIS and GRSNLS suspended in the organic phase (tetrachloroethylene). Through X-ray diffraction analysis both GRs exhibit similar patterns to
Green Rust II, an inorganic form of GR. The kinetics of GR reductive dechlorination of carbon tetrachloride (CT) was investigated. CT at high concentrations was degraded at high percentages for GRBIS-3, 88.5% and GRSNLS-5, 97.6%. Their reactions were found to follow pseudo first-order kinetics with respect to CT with rate constants of 1.7 x 10-1 h-1 and 3.3 x 10-1 h-1, respectively. These rate constants were comparable to those measured for CT dechlorination by inorganic GRSO4 (hydrophilic GR) and organic GRC12 (hydrophobic GR). Of the maximum amount of chloride that could possibly be present only 34-64% from GRSNLS-4 and 7.4-38% from GRSNLS-5 was accounted for.

▼ Cycles of reversible hydrogenation reactions are important for at least two different energy-related applications: reversible chemical hydrogen storage and thermally regenerative fuel cells. Hydrogen fuel is a green alternative to conventional hydrocarbon fuels for transportation applications. This is because the combustion product of hydrogen is simply water, which is non-toxic and ubiquitous. Hydrogen is also an attractive fuel because of its high energy content; however, because it is a gas it has poor volumetric energy density. In Chapter 2, ionic liquids consisting of both cations and anions that can undergo reversible dehydrogenative aromatization were used to chemically store hydrogen. Cations investigated included pyridinium ions, which were easily hydrogenated but could not be regenerated through the dehydrogenation of piperidinium ions; and carbazole containing ammonium (whose synthesis failed) and imidazolium (which failed to hydrogenate) cations. The anions studied were heterocyclic carboxylates and sulfonates, these ions were observed to undergo both hydrogenation and dehydrogenation to various degrees when reacted in solution. However, as components of ionic liquids, they fail to react at a significant rate. The viscosity of the fluids was suspected to be hindering the diffusion of either hydrogen or the ions to or from the catalyst surface.
In addition to using hydrogen as the primary source of energy in a vehicle, reversible hydrogenation can form the basis of a thermally regenerative fuel cell: a device that converts low grade vehicle waste heat, from a conventional engine, into electricity for the vehicles auxiliary power units. In Chapter 3, secondary benzylic alcohols, in particular 1-phenyl-1-propanol, were determined to be able to undergo dehydrogenation to the corresponding ketone rapidly and with extremely high selectivity over a palladium on silica catalyst. The dehydrogenation gave an initial rate of hydrogen evolution of 4.6 l of hydrogen per gram of palladium per minute and the enthalpy and entropy of the dehydrogenation is +56 kJ mol-1 and +117 J mol-1 K-1. This adsorbed energy can then be released as electricity in a fuel cell and be used to power auxiliary units in a vehicle without decreasing fuel economy.

▼ In addition, aqueous solutions of sodium n-alkyl carboxylates sodium tetradecanoate (S14C) and sodium dodecanoate (S12C) were used to evaluate complicated precipitation zones and to monitor the effects of bulk pH adjustments on surface tension and CMC determination from surface tension plots. Issues with solubilities of pure sodium n-alkyl carboxylates in solution near the critical micelle concentration (CMC) have been reported previously many times. In this study, some solubility issues encountered with solutions prepared from vendor-supplied S12C were resolved through additional purification. As sodium alkyl carboxylates presented in the literature are commonly used as received from the manufacture without additional purification, the wide range of reported CMC values as well as solubility issues for S12C are likely due to impurities as well. However, solubility for S14C solution concentrations near reported CMC values were not resolved through additional purification of purchased material. We believe that CMC values reported in the literature for C14S should be reconsidered, as breaks in surface tension relationships are likely caused by the formation of precipitate not micelle aggregation. In addition and in agreement with other studies, solution pH adjustments revealed an optimum surface tension for maximum solubility near S14C pKa values.

▼ Researchers at the Institute for
Green Oxidation
Chemistry of the Carnegie Mellon University developed a group of catalysts called tetra amido macrocyclic ligand (TAML) activators. The purpose of that research was that TAML activators would breakdown pollutants in the presence of a sacrificial oxidant. Furthermore, the catalyst was designed to decompose on a required timescale, as to not damage the environment by prolonged exposure. Since the initial designs from the 1980’s, the TAML structure has undergone significant changes to increase efficiency or selectivity. Other uses of this group of catalysts have been explored, namely, the oxidation of water to molecular oxygen.
This work presents a computational study using Density Functional Theory (DFT) which addresses the issue regarding the stability of certain iron-TAML intermediates in the water oxidation mechanism. Hence, the work seeks to explore how changing certain groups on the TAML ring can affect the stability of the reactive intermediates and the activation energy of the nucleophilic attack within the mechanism. The work highlights the importance of the fluorinated tail of the TAML structure in the accessibility of the desired transition state.

▼ The conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2), an abundant renewable carbon reagent, into cyclic carbonate is of academic and industrial interest. Cyclic carbonate serve as green solvent and have some outstanding properties such as a high boiling point and low toxicity. Titanium and iron would be attractive metal candidates as benign and efficient alternative to other metal catalysis for CO2 conversion to cyclic carbonate, due combination of low toxicity and high Lewis acidity.
In the present work the coupling reactions of carbon dioxide with epoxides to produce five-membered cyclic carbonates (propylene, 1-hexene, cyclohexene, styrene, and epichlorohydrin carbonates) were efficiently catalyzed either by sustainable metal-based catalysts of: (1) titanium alkoxide complexes/tetrabutylammonium salts; (2) Schiff base iron(III) complexes/onium salts; (3) bifunctional imidazole-Schiff base iron(III) complex; and (4) metal-free systems consisting of a simple, preferably primary or secondary, amines and halides with organic or inorganic cations (such as tetrabutylammonium or lithium chloride, bromide or iodide). Reactivity of the four above-mentioned catalytic systems was further studied and compared in the coupling reactions.
Väitöskirja käsittelee hiilidioksidin liittämistä epoksideihin ja siten sen muuttamista käyttö- kelpoisiksi orgaanisiksi yhdisteiksi eräiden siirtymämetallikatalyyttien sekä organokatalyy- sin avulla. Tutkimus liittyy hiilidioksidipäästöjen vähentämiseen ja uusiutuvien raaka- aineiden käyttöön ja käsittelee siten hyvin ajankohtaisia aiheita ns. vihreän kemian tutki- musalueella. Työssä on onnistuttu kehittämään kaksi uutta tehokasta katalyyttisysteemiä, joissa hiilidioksidin ja orgaanisen lähtöaineen reaktio voidaan tehdä ilman erillistä liuotinta sekä kaksi uutta katalyyttisysteemiä, joissa reaktiot tehdään käyttämällä erilaisia liuottimia. Vihreän kemian periaatteisiin kuuluu mm. jätteen synnyn ehkäisy sekä haitallisten liuotti- mien välttäminen, joten liuotinvapaan katalyyttisysteemin kehittämistä voidaan pitää mer- kittävänä tuloksena pyrittäessä kehittämään ympäristöystävällisempiä menetelmiä kemial- listen prosessien toteuttamiseksi. Tässä työssä käytetyt katalyyttimetallit titaani ja rauta - ovat ympäristölle vaarattomia ja siten vihreä kemian periaatteiden mukaisia. Organokata- lyysiä hyödynnettäessä voidaan myös välttää haitallisten metalliyhdisteiden käyttäminen.

▼ Of all analytical techniques, extraction is a huge solvent-consuming process that could adversely impact the environment. Use of petroleum-based solvents for extraction of oilseeds is still a common practice, despite the potential fire hazard and the toxic water pollution. The rising awareness of chemical activities created immense need for sustainable development schemes and strategies that should address the environmental impact without compromising the yield. In the course of developing
green extraction techniques, automation, alternative solvents, and selective extractions are the growing trend. This dissertation aligns with that progress by surveying
green solvents, comparing their performance during oil extraction, examining a prototype automated extraction system, and studying the efficiency of selective adsorbents.
Green solvents are of great interest as they are sourced from renewable feedstock and pose little or no danger to the environment. But their application in analytical
chemistry is not widely appreciated. This dissertation aimed to study the extraction efficiency of
green solvents during accelerated solvent extraction of soybean oil. Five
green solvents, 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MeTHF), alpha-pinene, cyclopentyl methyl ether (CPME), ethyl lactate, and t-butyl methyl ether (TBME), were chosen based on the literature, solubility, and viscosity. Using the GSK solvent-scoring system obtained from literature, the ecological and economic impact of these solvents were roughly identified with respect to n-hexane. As the solubility of analytes can influence the initial part of the extraction, relative solubility of triglycerides (of the major soybean fatty acids such as linoleic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, and stearic acid) in the
green solvents was theoretically predicted using a computer program. Also, the viscosities of the
green solvents at different temperatures was investigated prior to the extraction study. Soybean, the most dominant oilseed in the market with rich protein and oil content, was used as the sample for the extraction study. As the initial analysis indicated that the lower size particles give greater oil recovery, soybean particles of average diameter 513 μm were chosen for the elaborate extraction evaluation. For a small-scale fast extraction of analytes from solid and semisolid samples, accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) is a powerful and sophisticated device. This fully automated extraction system uses very little solvent at elevated temperature and pressure and is able to run several queued experiments at programmed conditions. To rely on the results from ASE of soybean oil using
green solvents, the hot-ball model was used as a validating tool. The hot-ball model gives a theoretical extraction profile for an ideal spherical matrix that can be used to evaluate and validate any experimental extraction results. As diffusion plays a major role in the kinetics of extraction, comparing the diffusion coefficient of
green solvents was the key approach. Upon assessing the…

▼ This thesis discusses the development of atom efficient and scalable synthesis methods for the synthesis of industrially relevant layered double hydroxides (LDHs) using a
green source of magnesium derived from a waste mineral. LDHs are introduced in Chapter 1 as compositionally flexible and versatile anionic clays. The structure of LDHs confers unique and interesting properties to these inorganic compounds and as such, LDHs have found application in a wide range of applications including environmental remediation and drug delivery. Naturally occurring LDHs are low in abundance but synthetic LDHs are facile to prepare and a variety of methods are available. The growing global demand for energy and resources calls for changes in the supply chain, so there is increasing interest in technologies and methods that are more environmentally friendly. The analytical techniques and synthetic methods used are detailed in Chapter 2 ahead of the results and discussions in subsequent chapters. In Chapter 3, the mineral struvite, MgNH₄PO₄.6H₂O, is investigated as an alternative starting material for magnesium based LDHs. Struvite was acquired from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and compared with a synthetic struvite. To transform this underutilised resource into commercially relevant LDHs, the effect of temperature, pH and time were investigated. The properties and morphologies of the LDHs synthesised from struvite have been characterised in detail by a number of techniques including surface area analyses and electron microscopies.
[email protected] hybrid materials are investigated in Chapter 4. The effects of stirring speed and metal solution addition rate were systematically investigated and optimised. Strategies for core-shell synthesis using commercial silicas have also been developed to prepare high surface area
[email protected] hybrid materials that have been used as catalyst supports for ethylene polymerisation. In Chapter 5, the thermal properties of the mineral-derived and hybrid LDH materials are studied to probe their suitability for carbon dioxide (CO₂) capture. The LDHs were calcined to obtain the mixed oxide form of LDHs, layered double oxides (LDOs), and the properties of these calcined materials at different temperatures were studied. Selected LDOs were tested in CO₂ adsorption experiments and their performance has been compared to that of LDOs from commercial and conventional LDHs. Lastly, the findings of the works in this thesis are summarised in Chapter 6 and avenues for future investigations are also proposed. Supplementary information and data mentioned in the main thesis are included in the Appendices.

▼ The use of soluble polymer-supported catalysts in homogeneous catalysis has received heightened attention in the past few decades. Previous studies have shown that PIB oligomers have an excellent phase-selective solubility in nonpolar solvents, this property enables facile catalyst/product separation after reactions. This dissertation describes the study of using PIB as a tool in recovery and reuse of the photoredox catalysts and in the development of novel synthetic methods.
Heptane-soluble PIB-bound Ru(II)-bipyridine complexes [Ru(PIB-bpy)3Cl2] were prepared and used as photoredox catalysts in reactions including polymerization, oxidative C-C bond cleavage, and [2 + 2] cycloaddition. The results show that the catalyst can be successfully recovered and reused with leaching levels of ca. 1% of the charged catalyst. In addition, the synthesis of a recyclable PIB-bound 10- phenylphenothiazine (PIB-BTH) organic photoredox catalyst is described. This catalyst can efficiently carry out light-mediated radical polymerizations of methacrylates and can be separated from the polymer product via a simple separation process and reused with no significant loss of catalytic activity.
Cyclopropanation and O-H insertion reactions were carried out using a PIBbound Rh(II) complex. The results show that the phase-selective solubility of the PIBbound Rh(II) catalyst in a biphasic heptane/acetonitrile mixture can be used not only to recycle the catalyst but also to suppress the side reactions without the use of conventional slow addition method. These studies also suggest that hydrocarbon polymer cosolvents can function as antileaching agents that decrease the leaching of a polymer-bound catalyst into the polar phase of a biphasic system. Taking the advantage of PIB’s excellent phase-selective solubility, the strategy of carrying out homogeneous catalysis using a continuous-flow reactor has been developed. The PIB-bound transition-metal catalysts can be constantly reused in this process

▼ Soluble polyolefins such as polyethylene (PEOlig) and polyisobutylene (PIB) are useful tools in catalysis. This dissertation describes several examples that these polyolefins were used to facilitate homogeneous catalysis reactions. This include the use of PEOlig as protective encapsulating agent toward acid-promoted demetalation of metal-salen complexes, the use of PEOlig as a cosolvent and catalyst support in ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP), the use of PIB as a post-reaction Ru removal tool in olefin metathesis, and the use of PIB as a support for a pyridine ligand on Ru(II) catalyst for ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP).
The stability of polyethylene oligomer (PEOlig)-entrapped salen-metal complexes toward acidolysis was tested by suspending these species in acidic methanol for 24 h at 25°C. The lack of metal leaching due to acid-promoted demetalation was determined using both colorimetric and ICP-MS analyses. These results were in contrast to the reported behavior of low molecular weight salen metal complexes and to results seen with a salen complex bound to divinylbenzene (DVB) crosslinked polystyrene that demetalates under acidic conditions at room temperature.
Polyethylene oligomers (PEOlig) were also used as a cosolvent and soluble catalyst support in ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) reactions. As a catalyst support, this polyolefin serves as an N-heterocyclic carbene ligand for a ROMP catalyst, making it soluble at 70°C and insoluble at room temperature. As a cosolvent, unfunctionalized PE oligomers facilitate quantitative separation of PEOlig-bound Ru- catalyst residues from polymer products resulting in ROMP products with Ru contamination lower than other procedures that use soluble catalysts.
Polyisobutylene (PIB) -terminated isocyanide was prepared in two steps under mild condition with high yield. Using this reagent, the RCM product of N,N-diallyl-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide could be prepared with ruthenium content as low as 44 ppm without involving purification with silica gel. However, this protocol was unsuccessful in sequestering Ru species from ROMP reaction due to an insufficient reactivity of PIB-terminated isocyanide.
At the end, this dissertation details the use of PIB as a support for a pyridine ligand on Grubbs third generation catalyst for ROMP reactions. Using the Grubbs third generation catalyst ligated by PIB-bound pyridines does not affect the reactivity of these catalysts in ROMP
chemistry. However, the Ru complexes that employ PIB-bound pyridines can prepare polymer products with significantly lower Ru contamination than those prepared with Ru complex with low molecular weight pyridines. Further increasing the non-polar character of Ru catalyst can reduce Ru leaching by ca. 60%.

▼ Protecting the environment and remediating it from the consequences of anthropogenic
activities has become an important challenge in today’s world. Advancements in the field of
catalysis, as an integral part of sustainable and
green chemistry, play a major role in the
development of new environmentally benign technologies to achieve this. In this regard, the
field of nanotechnology opened up new possibilities for the design and synthesis of robust
enzyme mimics (nanozymes) that fulfill the criteria of a
green catalyst. In particular, gold
nanoparticles (Au-NPs) functionalized with catalytically active peptides (Pep-Au-NPs) have
proven to be a promising strategy towards the creation of artificial enzymes with remarkable
properties in molecular recognition and catalysis. However, the field is still in its infancy.
To extent the contemporary insights into the field of Pep-Au-NPs and establish first
design rules, one part of the research conducted in this thesis deals with the systematic study of design principles of Pep-Au-NPs. More specifically, research was focused to systematically
elucidate the effect the position of the catalytic center along the peptide sequence has on the
catalytic properties of the corresponding Pep-Au-NP assemblies. A correlation was found
between the hydrophobic nature of the employed substrate and the region in which catalysis
takes place within the generated peptide-monolayer.
The other two studies included in this work were directed to broaden the application
scope of these conjugates. First, Pep-Au-NP were studied in their ability to act as a
multifunctional cascade catalyst that performs two sequential reactions on a given substrate. By utilizing the hybridity of the system, a peptide-monolayer was established that catalyzed ester hydrolysis, while the Au-NP surface functioned as an efficient hydrogenation catalyst. The reaction was performed as a one-pot reaction in aqueous solution.
Second, a Pep-Au-NP was designed to function as an artificial carbonic anhydrase (CA)
mimic for the conversion of CO2 to HCO3- in water. The artificial CA was able to catalyze CO2-hydration and showed superior catalytic activity over the unconjugated peptide variant.
Recycling of the Pep-Au-NP was possible without significant loss in activity even after
treatment at elevated temperatures.
The results of this work, on the one hand, contribute to the rational design and synthesis
of Pep-Au-NPs as artificial nano-enzymes; on the other hand, provide proof-of-concepts that
Pep-Au-NPs are able to perform reactions applied in environmental-friendly processes.

▼ Antimicrobial resistance to antibiotics and cancer are two of the main concerns that the healthcare system is facing nowadays. Nanotechnology, understood as the science of materials when they reach the limit of 100 nm size, was developed as a powerful technique whose application to medicine has supposed a considerable impact on society. However, the development of nanomaterials brought some environmental concerns related to the production of toxic by-products and biocompatibility issues once the nanostructures were contacted with biological tissue. Therefore, new alternatives have been developed, with Green Chemistry as one of the most promising ones. From all the green chemical methodologies, plant-based production of nanomaterials is among the most relevant ones, since they are easy and straightforward, cost-effective and environmentally-friendly. In this thesis, chalcogen nanoparticles -both selenium (Se) and tellurium (Te)- were prepared using a simple green methodology using pepper, coffee and tea extracts as unique reducing and capping agents, triggering the production of different nanoparticles. After characterization, the structures were used for their biomedical applications as antibacterial and anticancer agents, remaining biocompatible over a wide range of concentrations. Therefore, a novel and environmentally-friendly production of selenium and tellurium nanoparticles have been proposed employing natural dietary compounds as reducing agents, overcoming the main limitations of traditional physicochemical approaches.

▼ Researchers around the world are now focusing on inculcating
green chemistry principles in all level
of research especially in nanotechnology to make these processes environmental friendly.
Nanoparticles synthesized using
green chemistry principles has several advantages such as simplicity,
cost effectiveness, compatibility for biomedical and pharmaceutical applications and large scale
production for commercial purpose. Based on this background, this thesis present the design,
synthesis, characterization and applications of various CdSe based core-shell and core-multi shell
quantum dots (QDs), quantum dots-polymer nanocomposites, silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) and silver
nanocomposites via completely
green methods. Various QDs like CdSe/CdS/ZnS and CdSe/ZnS, and
there polymer nanocomposites were successfully synthesized and characterized. The high quality of
the as-synthesized nanoparticles was confirmed using absorption and photoluminescence (PL)
spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, transmission
electron microscopy (TEM) and high resolution TEM (HRTEM). Detailed optical and morphological
characterization showed that the CdSe/CdS/ZnS core-multi shell QDs were small, monodispersed with
high fluorescent intensity and narrow emission width. The CdSe/CdS/ZnS core multi-shell QDs were
dispersed in epoxy polymer matrix to obtain fluorescent epoxy nanocomposite. The brillouin
spectroscopy analysis revealed that the presence of QDs inside polymer composite reduces the
acoustic frequency of the polymer. Highly fluorescent CdSe/ZnS core-shell QDs was also synthesized
and dispersed in PMMA polymer matrix to prepare bright yellow emitting nanocomposite film. The
as-synthesized QDs also undergone surface exchange to convert the organically soluble nanomaterial
to water soluble. After the ligand exchange, the morphology and above all the fluorescence property of
the quantum dots remained intact. In another approach, HDA-capped CdSe nanoparticles were
synthesized in the absence of an inert gas followed by dispersion in polymer polycaprolactone to
produce orange light emitting electrospun polymer nanocomposite nanofibre.

▼ The objective of this thesis research is to understand how fundamental coordination geometry of aqueous nanoscale inorganic clusters effects solution speciation. While past research has developed a substantial understanding of inorganic nanoscale clusters in the solid state less is understood about their dynamic solution phase behavior. This research is designed to make a deliberate approach toward a better understanding of aluminum, scandium, and gallium cluster formation through a mineral dissolution approach while using both solution and solid-state characterization techniques.
Many of these unique clusters formed by this process serve as solution precursors for solution processed metal oxide thin films. Taking advantage of a facile, high yield, scalable mineral dissolution process will allow for robust characterization of metal oxide thin films in the solid state. The mineral dissolution approach applied herein offers new insight into how coordination geometry of clusters in the solution state is not only affected by concentration and pH but also how manipulation of these cluster types determines the electronic properties of their resultant metal oxide thin films by an aqueous solution process.
The outcomes of this research will help bridge the gap between the inorganic
chemistry and geochemistry communities by keenly identifying species that are pertinent to both subfields. Additionally, the usage of these clusters as solution precursors for device fabrication will help merge the inorganic solution and solid-state communities. While the mineral dissolution approach applied here will mostly relate to aluminum and scandium cluster systems it can more broadly be applied across the periodic table and will serve as a platform for better understanding of more complex metal systems while still allowing for the fabrication of aqueous based metal oxide materials towards the design of applications that will affect both our modern and future world.

▼ Triaryl phosphates were synthesized from white phosphorus and phenols in aerobic conditions and in the presence of iron catalysts and iodine. Full conversion to phosphates was achieved without the use of chlorine or chlorinated solvents, and the reactions do not produce acid waste. Triphenyl phosphate, tritolyl phosphate and tris(2,4-di-tert-butyl)phenyl phosphate were synthesized by this method with 100% conversion from P₄. Various iron(III) diketonates were used to catalyse the conversion. Mechanistic studies showed the reaction to proceed via the formation of phosphorus triiodide (PI₃), then diphenyl phosphoroiodidate (O=PI(OPh)₂) before the final formation of triphenyl phosphate (O=P(OPh)₃). The nucleophilic substitution of O=PI(OPh)₂ with phenol to form O=P(OPh)₃ was found to be the rate determining step.
It was found that by modifying the reaction conditions the same catalytic systems could be used to synthesize triphenyl phosphite directly from P₄. Triphenyl phosphite was synthesized in selectivities of up to 60 %. The mechanism of these transformations was also elucidated.
Independent syntheses of the intermediate in the reaction mechanism, O=P(OPh)₂I and its hydrolysis products diphenyl phosphate (O=P(OPh)₂OH) and tetraphenyl pyrophosphate ((O)P(OPh)₂-O-P(O)(OPh)₂) were developed from PI₃. The 2,4-di-tert-butyl phenol analogues of these compounds were also prepared. Bis-(2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl) phosphoroiodidate was then reacted with various alcohols to produce a series of mixed triorgano phosphates.

▼ The hydroformylation of unfunctionalised olefins (such as prop-1-ene and oct-1-ene)
is an extremely valuable process and is practised on a massive scale industrially in the
synthesis of commodity chemicals. In fact, it represents the worlds largest scale
application of homogeneous catalysis. As a result, the majority of research carried out
on this reaction has been in the study of catalytic systems which provide high rates
and selectivity for the production of linear aldehydes from terminal unfunctionalised
olefins, with the products finding use in the production of plasticizers and detergents.
Asymmetric hydroformylation, the enantioselective variant of this reaction is
extremely attractive, as low cost or easily accessible olefins are transformed into
highly versatile value-added enantioenriched aldehydes in a single step. However
synthetic organic chemists interested in the synthesis of fine chemicals, both in
academia and industry, have been slow to adopt this attractive protocol for the
production of chiral aldehydes. This is mainly due to the fact that in the past catalysts
for this reaction exhibited low activity and/or selectivity in this process. However, the
last two decades have seen major advances, mainly in the development of highly
effective chiral ligands, and with these developments the time has come to tackle the
vastly under-explored area of asymmetric hydroformylation of more functionalised
olefins.
To set the scene for the research carried out during this project a brief introduction
will be given which highlights the historical development of highly efficient catalysts
for the hydroformylation of olefins. This will be accompanied by some examples of
the use of this methodology in the synthesis of pharmaceutically relevant compounds.
It should become apparent from the introduction that the asymmetric
hydroformylation of functionalised olefins and in particular nitrogen containing
olefins, has received very little attention despite the fact that over half of all medicinal
compounds contain at least one nitrogen containing functional group.
Firstly we describe hydroformylation as a useful alternative to the classical synthesis
of a delicate chiral building block, namely α-formyl amides. These compounds,
traditionally only available through multi-step synthetic procedures from enantiopure
starting materials, have been accessed by asymmetric hydroformylation of readily
accessible and in some cases commercially available acrylamides. By judicious
choice of reaction conditions and selection of the appropriately active chiral ligand
enantioenriched α-formyl amides (e.e. up to 82%) were produced in high yield. A
comparison is made between the classical route and the hydroformylation route to
illustrate the potential of this efficient transformation.

▼ Capacitive deionization (CDI) is a desalination technology which has been
subject to a proliferation in research in recent years for its potential to be more energy efficient than reverse osmosis for the treatment of brackish water. One efficiency-limiting phenomenon is the repulsion of co-ions, which can be mitigated via ion selectivity through the addition of fixed charge in the form of ion-exchange membranes (IEMs) or surface-modified electrodes. In this work, we introduce a novel method of fixed charge addition through a composite electrode binder. Two biodegradable ionic polysaccharides, chitosan and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), are examined for their potential to improve CDI charge efficiency as anodic and cathodic binders, respectively. The amine groups of chitosan (pKa ~6.3) and carboxylic acid groups of CMC (pKa ~3) can be simultaneously protonated and deprotonated, respectively, under a range of pH values, providing the fixed charge needed for ion selectivity.
When employing chitosan and CMC in their appropriate electrodes, specific salt adsorption and charge efficiency reached peak values of 14.09 mg/g and 91%, respectively, compared to 5.13 mg/g and 31% for the commonly employed polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) binder. As a point of comparison, surface-modified carbon was synthesized to shift electrode potential of zero charge and enhance charge efficiency while using PVDF binders. The modified carbon system achieved 16.21 mg/g of salt removal at a charge efficiency of 87%, indicating the incorporation of charged binders in CDI can be a viable method for performance improvement. Since the binder charge density is pH sensitive, performance was monitored from pHs 5-9. As chitosan amine groups became deprotonated with rising pH, the chitosan-CMC system displayed declining performance as expected. The modified carbon system, on the other hand, showed relatively maintained performance across the pH range tested, demonstrating the need for an anode polyelectrolyte binder with a higher pKa than chitosan for the system to compete with modified carbon at higher pH.

▼ Plastic materials are an integral part of modern life; however, nearly every plastic, or polymer, is derived from petroleum resources, which are non-sustainable, non-degradable, and can be toxic to humans and the environment. Developing methodologies to synthesize and characterize alternative materials that are degradable, safe, and sustainable has therefore been a vibrant research area. This thesis describes two approaches towards the development of sustainable polymers and monomers (the building blocks from which polymers are made). The first aims to understand the fundamental mechanistic details of metal-catalyzed ring-opening polymerization of renewable cyclic ester monomers to degradable polyesters. The second targets the catalytic synthesis of common petroleum-based monomers from sustainable and biomass-derived carboxylic acids.

▼ Global carbon dioxide (CO
2) emissions have steadily risen over the last 50 years, with 34 billion tons of CO
2 released in 2009 alone. Its potential as a greenhouse gas has negatively affected of our lives and environment by the resulting ocean acidification and climate change. To mitigate atmospheric CO
2, various strategies have been implemented for CO
2 separation, capture, storage and use as a chemical feedstock. The use of CO
2 in various chemical industries is attractive as its non-flammable, non-toxic, and relatively inert properties have made it an inherently safer alternative to traditional organic solvents, as well as, a greener carbon feedstock. Also, the accessible critical properties, appreciable critical density, high diffusivity and tunable thermophysical properties make liquid and supercritical CO
2 an attractive solvent for industrial applications. In recent years, significant progress has been made in the field of tunable solvent media by employing the reversible reaction of CO
2 with amines to produce carbamates. This class of compounds possesses ionic properties that are significantly different from their amines resulting in a non-ionic to ionic switching mechanism that provides for switchable solvent properties, reversible surfactants, low molecular weight organogelators and stimuli responsive materials. The focus of this dissertation is therefore the implementation of the reversible CO
2 - amine reaction for the formation of smart surfaces, greener amine protection mechanisms, and cationic metallic nanoparticle synthesis. Chapter 2 of this dissertation demonstrates the reversible reaction of CO
2 with amine-containing self-assembled monolayers to yield 'smart' surfaces that undergo a reversible change in structure, charge, and wettability upon reaction with CO
2. The formation carbamate esters are also a widely implemented mechanism for amine protection during organic synthesis. However, traditional methods of protection incur increased solvent use and energy consumption due to a separate deprotection reaction. To solve this dilemma, the reversible protection of amines using CO
2 induced carbamates was demonstrated in chapter 3; by reducing n-alkyl benzophenone imine and n-phenyl, nalkylurea yields by up to 67% compared to non-protected amines. The applicability of this
chemistry to these classes of nucleophilic substitution reactions and has significant potential to alter the way we approach amine protection in organic synthesis. Another research area that has grown popularity over the last decade is the development of metallic nanoparticles, specifically gold nanoparticles (GNPs), due to their size and shape dependent optical and catalytic properties. Chapter 4 of this dissertation demonstrates the successful application of polyethylene imine (PEI) in the synthesis of cationic GNPs, which are of significant interest for biomedical applications. In this work, we…

▼ Ionic liquids (ILs) have been an area of rapid growth over the past decade, predominately due to their tailorable properties. Structurally, ILs are a complex combination of both long-range and short-range interactions, and it is the synergy between these forces that determines the IL’s physical and chemical behaviour. In addition, IL-solute interactions impart further variability. This thesis explores the fundamental chemistry, which determines how ILs interact with solutes and direct their reactivity. These phenomena are explored within the context of renewable chemistry, with focus on the research areas of catalysis, solvation and electrochemistry. Cumulatively, this thesis details new insights into, and a greater understanding of, the limitations and opportunities that ILs offer in regards to controlling and directing chemical outcomes across a diverse range of systems.

▼ Noble metal nanoparticles have been extensively
studied for use in applications in a diverse range of fields such
as optoelectronics, catalysis, sensing, medicine, etc. due to their
unique properties that arise as a result of their dimensions. Metal
nanoparticles of size less than 3 nm exhibit molecular properties,
unlike larger nanoparticles. These molecular nanoparticles are
excellent model systems to study the
chemistry of nanomaterials at
the molecular level as their molecular formulae, crystal structure,
chemical composition, electronic structures etc. can be
experimentally measured and theoretically calculated. In addition,
knowledge of their thermodynamic stability and mechanisms of
formation can be leveraged in developing
green synthetic routes in
order to produce safer products that widen the range of
applications, and to develop safer processes that increase
manufacturability and decrease waste. Even though nanoparticle
research is more focused on the end product and their properties,
rather than the process, we have taken a different route of
dismantling the M4Ag44(p-MBA)30 nanoparticle synthesis and
developing a
green route with significantly improved efficiency and
an 89% yield. The need of solvent, which contributed to 98% of the
waste, was kept to a minimum by using a stoichiometric
silver-thiolate polymer as a precursor to intimately mix the metal
atoms and ligands, and by forming a paste using a small amount of
liquid to promote mass transport. The process mass intensity (PMI),
a
green metric defined by material input over product output, was
decreased by almost 18-fold compared to the solution-phase
synthesis. Some toxic chemicals were also removed or replaced
throughout the process. This method is very effective for
thermodynamically favorable products, and should be useful for
other systems too. Alloying of metal nanoparticles is advantageous
to achieve new properties. For example, gold-silver bimetallic NPs
can be more stable than silver NPs and have better optical
properties than gold NPs. Here we have studied the alloying process
in M4AuxAg44-x(p-MBA)30 alloy nanoparticles, where 0 = x = 12, and
M is a countercation. Two methods were used to synthesize
M4AuxAg44-x(p-MBA)30 alloy nanoparticles: (i) co-reduction of
gold-thiolate and silver-thiolate with alkali borohydride, and (ii)
galvanic-exchange reaction between gold-thiolate and
M4Ag44(p-MBA)30 nanoparticles in order to substitute silver with
gold. The major findings were: (i) the number of gold atoms
incorporated in the alloy was always less than the gold input, (ii)
only up to twelve gold atoms were incorporated, (iii) gold prefers
to stay at the innermost core energetically in alloy nanoparticles,
as shown by the x-ray crystal structure of M4Au12Ag32(p-MBA)30
alloy nanoparticles, (iv) gold atom distributions were generally
Gaussian, and (v) addition of gold in silver nanoparticles to
create alloys increases the stability against
oxidation.

▼ [ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.]
Green Chemistry, also called as Sustainable
Chemistry, envisions minimum hazard to improve the efficiency and performance of materials while designing new chemical processes. In general,
Green Chemistry is defined as " ... the utilization of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the use or generation of hazardous substances in the design, manufacture, and application of chemical products."[1] In recent decades, there is widespread recognition of the need to adopt cleaner, sustainable practices to enhance the quality and control of commercial products through a knowledge based approach. The goal for the researchers in sustainable
chemistry is to meet the objective without compromising the basic needs of future generations. Nanotechnology, much like
Green Chemistry, has revolutionized the fundamentals of all fields, serving as a classic example for emerging products in science and technologies. Despite significant achievements involving nanomaterials, the hazardous chemicals and toxicities associated with them are not fully addressed, which causes a major impact on the environment. These phenomena were especially observed for the use of nanocatalysts. Several greener approaches were utilized to produce nanomaterials or nanoparticles, which avoids toxic reducing agents such as borohydrides or hydrazine. However, chemists need to develop simple and cost-effective approaches for sustainable nanocatalysts to meet global challenges. The overall focus of this doctoral dissertation has been paid to the synthesis, controlled surface modification, and functionalization of distinct types of nanoparticles and nanocomposites through sustainable chemical approaches for environmental and biological applications. As a two-dimensional material, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has drawn wide attention due to its fascinating properties and exciting application prospects. However, in order to access these properties, which lie within single- or few-layer nanosheets, the inter-sheet van der Waals interactions within the bulk material must be adequately disrupted to exfoliate MoS2 to atomic thicknesses. Chapter 2 present the sonication-assisted aqueous phase exfoliation of bulk MoS2 into dispersed single- or few-layer nanosheets using popular culinary hydrocolloids. In addition, the sterically stabilized nanosheets were successfully decorated with gold nanoparticles via an in-situ reduction by the hydrocolloids to yield plasmonic nanocomposites exhibiting excellent catalytic activity in 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) reduction. Chapter 3 describes one-pot aqueous photo-assisted route to produce tailored metal nanoparticles decorated aminoclay nanosheets. This method uses no heating or external reducing agent (e.g., NaBH4) nor is photocatalyst required. Finally, these nanohybrids were tested as a dual catalyst for 4-NP reduction or antimicrobial activity. Layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have attracted increased attention due to their enhanced hydrogen…

▼ It has been discovered that ammonium iodide acts as an
efficient catalyst to convert an N-alkylaziridine to an
oxazolidinone(s). The catalytic ability of NH4I comes from the
synergic effect of the hydrogen bonding and the nucleophilic
halide. The reaction proceeds in high yield, excellent chemo- and
regioselectivity. The selectivity of the product can be tuned by
changing pressure and temperature. 1-Benzyl-2-methylaziridine
behaves inconsistently in the reaction with carbon dioxide without
any additive. It has been found that this aziridine, or generally,
any 1,2-dialkylaziridine is not reactive at rt based on a
combination of experimental and computational studies. In cases
where there was a reaction, an impurity in the starting material
acted as a catalyst. This impurity is very difficult to remove from
the starting material using column chromatography. The amount was
diminutive that it did not show up spectroscopically. When the
newly found catalyst is involved, the reaction with carbon dioxide
is 0th order with respect to aziridine. This catalyst is also
accountable for the dimerization of the aziridine on the bench. The
mechanisms for the reaction with carbon dioxide and the
dimerization are thus proposed.
