for measuring the sum of the charge transport and charge collection efficiencies in an inverted organic photovoltaic device. Upon testing, the device shorted. Tall surface profile features on the ZnO electron injection layer could account for the device shorting. 2:20 pm - Synthesis and Characterization of 3, 4-Dimethylmethcathinone Jeremy May, Senior Capstone Seminar In this research we present a synthesis and full chemical characterization of 3, 4-dimethylmethcathinone hydrochloride (3, 4-DMMC

, Hospitality Services & Campus Restaurants is also focusing efforts towards organic purchasing decisions for products such as eggs milk as well as specific meats such as chicken and beef. We are continually finding new ways to improve our sustainability efforts. The main area we focus on are: Minimizing our Environmental Impact Composting & reducing the amount of waste we send to the landfill. Through prudence, determination and research, we have reduced the waste sent to the landfill by an astounding

applications, including electrochemical, bio-organic/pharmaceutical, and industrial processes. In recent years, the vast majority of RTILs studied have been the imidazolium species. Presented in this capstone is the optimized synthesis of recently-described 1,3,4-alkyl-1,2,3-triazolium-based RTILs. which are facilely afforded (yields> 85%) via the [3+2] copper-catalyzed “Click” reaction between an azide and terminal alkyne. The complete synthesis time has been reduced from days to a few hours. Despite RTIL

. Shikimate acid is one of the intermediates in the pathway, which has been very important in the synthesis of the flu medication, Tamiflu. Sensitive electrochemical detection of PFOA using redox active nickel Prussian blue capture probes Thomas J. Mallos, Senior Capstone Seminar Per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent organic pollutants linked to a variety of health risks, such as cancer, miscarriage, and liver damage. Current ex situ detection methods for PFAS are expensive and

the reactions via IR and GC/MS showed only the presence of starting materials. 2:30 pm - A Look into Greener Chemistry: Modification of the Corey-Fuchs Reaction for the use of Palladium CatalystsMark Lindsey, Senior Capstone Seminar The Corey-Fuchs reaction is one of the most interesting reactions in organic synthesis world for it is a way to convert an aldehyde into an alkyne. However, the mechanism for this reaction involves the use of large amounts of triphenylphosphine and n-BuLi which are

grow. This talk will describe my undergraduate research group’s synthesis and characterization of polymer materials for use in lithium-based batteries. Key to potential improvements is incorporating the ability to transport ions through an organic polymer. In the near future, materials like these may allow batteries to be less flammable, lighter, more flexible, and potential increase their energy or power capacity. In 2019 Dr. Dean Waldow was awarded the Lynwood W. Swanson Scientific Research Award
