Alkene oxidation by platinum (II) oxo/hydroxo complexes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)The facile reaction between tetranuclear Pt-oxo complex [(COD)4Pt4([mu]2-O)2Cl2]2[BF4]2 (1) and norbornene (NB) yields the stable platinaoxetane [(COD)2Pt2(OC7H10)Cl][BF4] (2) in quantitative yield. A rapid reaction between ... -
Alkene-oxo and alkene-alkene coupling on Pt(II)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)Tetranuclear Pt(II) oxo-complex [(COD)4Pt4([mu]3-O)2Cl2](BF4)2 (1) (COD = 1,5- cyclooctadiene) was found to readily react with a variety of alkenes (ethylene, norbornene, propylene and cyclopentene). The most significant ... -
Bromine photoelimination from organoplatinum(IV) complexes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)With burgeoning population growth and widespread economic development world energy consumption is constantly on the rise. Currently most of our energy requirements are met through fossil fuels which are non-renewable. The ... -
Chlorine and singlet oxygen photoelimination from organoplatinum(IV) complexes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Solar energy is the most promising carbon neutral energy source for the future. Splitting of simple molecules like HX (X = Cl, Br) has become an ... -
Organo nickel and platinum chemistry at the edge of corannulene
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Corannulene (C[subscript 20]H[subscript 10]), a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) is a bowl shaped fullerene fragment. This work involves investigations ... -
Photochemistry of platinum and iridium compexes relevant to solar energy conversion and storage

Synthesis and photochemistry of PT (IV) hydroxo complexes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Global energy consumption and the production of clean renewable energy have become greater challenges. Sunlight-induced splitting of water into H2 and O2 is one of the leading strategies to achieve clean and renewable ... -
Synthesis, characterisation photophysical and DFT studies of 2,2'-diphenylenegold(III) diethyldithiocarbamate
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Cyclometalated gold(III) complexes have been demonstrated to show electroluminescence properties and have been employed as electrophosphorescent ... -
Synthesis, characterization and photophysical studies of cyclometalated Au(III) complexes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)We report here a series of room temperature emissive biphenyl cyclometalated gold (III) diethyl dithiocarbamate complexes (DEDT) having H, CF3, OMe and tBu substitutions on the biphenyl moiety. Synthesis of these complexes ... -
Sythesis, characterization and reactivity of platinum (II) peroxo, alkoxide and triflate compunds
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The chemistry of a collection of platinum(II) compounds, including peroxo, alkoxide and triflate compounds, were synthesized and studied. This involved ...
