High-resolution spectroscopic investigations of rovibrational state mixing in ground electronic states
… in the ground electronic state of the molecules methyl glyoxal and methyl formate are presented. The technique of Stimulated Emission Pumping (SEP) spectroscopy is used to examine the effect of an intramolecular van der Waals interaction on intermode coupling of the carbonyl vibrational modes in …

Infrared Studies of Intramolecular Rovibrational Relaxation (Kinetics, Energy Transfer)
… wheel. Resolved fluorescence spectra from dimethyl ether and 1,4 dioxane indicate that the energy distribution within each molecule is dependent upon the CH stretch that is excited. The fluctuations in the relaxed mode energy content with excitation energy can be fit by a statistical model …

Characterization of Anodic Fuel Cell Catalysts Utilizing Various Surface Sensitive Techniques
… nanoparticles. Further, the efficacy of methyl formate oxidation on the catalyst was examined. This fuel was determined to hold no advantages over formic acid for oxidation with the Pt/Pd catalyst. This study also revealed the inadequacy of methanol oxidation on the Pt/Pd catalyst. …

Trends in C-H bond dehydrogenation energetics for small molecule conversion
… temperature selective methanol oxidation towards methyl formate and methane oxidation to CO2 can be realized by increasing the surface oxygen activity of iridium oxide-based catalysts. We further developed a rational design approach for perovskite oxides by tuning the surface O 2p-band center to …

Dissociative charge transfer of organic molecules induced by collisions with the He+ cation. A joint experimental and theoretical study of relevance for the interstellar medium evolution
… organic molecules, ubiquitous in ISM: dimethyl ether (DME, CH3OCH3 ) and methyl formate (MF, HCOOCH3). Since they have a prebiotic relevance, several models were developed to explain how these molecules are formed and destroyed in the ISM. The reactions have been investigated by using the …

Photolithography and surface modification applications of a 172 nanometer xenon microplasma excilamp
… methane in moderate quantities; 2-propenal and methyl formate in small quantities; and novel products at 39 and 69 amu, for which a mechanism of formation was presented. Importantly, this dissertation is the first to study not just the photochemical mechanism of action of this novel …

Addressing the ongoing threat of antimicrobial resistance: synthetic investigations of novel amicetin and B-lactam antibiotics
… synthesis of p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA)--methyl-L-serine substructure of amicetin, from PABA as the starting point. Synthetic access to the PABA--methyl-L-serine moiety would allow for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to be performed on the natural antibiotic. This synthetic …

Structural changes and dynamic behaviour of vanadium oxide-based catalysts for gas-phase selective oxidations
… oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde or methyl formate [1]. During my PhD I focused my work on two gas phase selective oxidation reactions. The work was done at the Department of Industrial Chemistry and Materials (University of Bologna) in collaboration with Polynt SpA. Polynt is a …
