Spectroscopic Studies of Small Molecule Adsorption and Oxidation on TiO2-Supported Coinage Metals and Zr6-based Metal-Organic Frameworks
Developing a fundamental understanding of the interactions between catalytic surfaces and adsorbed molecules is imperative to the rational design of new materials for catalytic, sorption and gas separation applications. Experiments that probed the chemistry at the gas-surface interface were …

Synthesis and characterization of various coinage metal complexes with bridging diimine ligands
This thesis is a study of coinage metal complexes with various bridging diimine ligands. It has 75pp, 4 tables, 55 figures and the references for the study of group 11 elements. It discusses one main project divided by three chapters describing in general the synthesis; structure and spectroscopic …

Dianionic Janus-Type N-Heterocyclic Carbenes and their Zwitterionic Gold and Silver Metal Complexes
… been demonstrated by direct coordination to two coinage metals. The resulting zwitterionic metal complexes of type [(Ph<sub>3</sub>P)M(NHC)M(PPh<sub>3</sub>)] (M = Au, Ag) have been fully characterized by spectroscopic techniques and X-ray crystallography. One of the new ligands positions the two …

Non-metallic nanostructures for light-driven chemistry and catalysis
… mostly commonly studied nanomaterials materials, coinage metal (Au, Ag, Cu) nanostructures display a remarkable phenomenon: under excitation by visible wavelengths of light, their free electrons undergo collective oscillations known as localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) oscillations. This …
