applications. Molecules called ligands bind to the surface of nanocrystals during their synthesis. Previous studies have demonstrated that these ligands can be exchanged, resulting in an alteration of nanocrystal characteristics—one of which being photoluminescence (PL) intensity. We synthesized both colloidal CdSe nanocrystals and nanobelts then exchanged their surface ligands with pyridine and dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP). This enabled us to look at whether ligands have similar effects on nanocrystal PL

, these metal nanoclusters have been getting more attention where gold nanoclusters have a stable base to be applied for practical applications. Silver nanoclusters, however mimic gold nanoclusters in terms of color, absorbance, and fluorescence. We follow a ligand exchange synthesis of [Ag25(SPhMe2)18]– where we see absorbance at 485 nm and fluorescence at 820 nm similar to the literature.2 From there we study the luminescence of [Ag25(SPhMe2)18]– with organic soluble thiols with 11-octadecanthiol

Botryococcus braunii race B is a green colonial microalga that produces high quantities of organic hydrocarbon terpenes. One such hydrocarbon is botryococcene, whose structure consists of three terpene units and a branched terminal end alkene. Due to its abundance and the low carbon footprint of its production, botryococcene is an excellent candidate for investigation of its use as a precursor in the production of biofuels. E. coli have been genetically altered for the synthesis of botryococcene due to the

work involves high intensity light where the energy of individual photons is not a limiting factor. Previous reports demonstrate that metallic nanoparticles are capable of performing oxidative reductions using lower intensity visible light. We are investigating the synthesis of silver nanoparticles for use in our LSC.   We confirmed that a silver nanoprism synthesis is   reproducibly tunable to our LSC emission of 585 nm. Further investigation is required regarding their efficacy as LSC

rechargeability. However, the current electrolyte solution makes use of volatile organic solvents which are a combustion hazard. A possible solution to improving the safety of these batteries is to replace the volatile solvents with an ionically conductive polymer. This research focuses on the synthesis of a single ion containing monomer and its subsequent ring opening metathesis polymerization. The synthetic route for the monomer has been achieved and improved upon and polymerization has reached oligomeric

the structures of dienes contribute to their reactivity trends.

However, they are often performed in hazardous polar, aprotic solvents like dimethylformamide (DMF). By utilizing water as a solvent, we can adapt a greener method for SN2 reactions of primary halides. Previous student research
