  • Erin Madden, Senior Capstone Seminar There is a discrepancy in the literature whether porous carbon electrodes store more electrochemical capacitance with a disordered or an ordered pore design.

    TRP methods of polymer synthesis traditionally involves highly reactive intermediate species that tend to reduce yield. Development of a new methods to transition between synthetic strategies will increase overall copolymer synthesis yields and reduce contaminating side reactions. The first purified intermediate generated by hydrogenation of an alkynyl stannane is confirmed by NMR spectroscopy, and upon separation from starting product the will be completed in two steps, involving a Stille cross

    peptide-bearing cavitand scaffolds. Herein we report the synthesis of a novel dicavitand for use in a covalently-bound dimeric TASP. The synthesis of a previously-reported propanol-footed cavitand was optimized to increase overall yields and eliminate the need for chromatographic purification, followed by spectral characterization with 1D and 2D (COSY) NMR. After oxidation of the pendant primary alcohols to form the tetraaldehyde cavitand, the lower resorcinarene of the dicavitand is planned to be
