Environmental Research Cobaloximes have been studied for decades as model compounds for vitamin B12. More recently, the chemical behavior of cobaloximes in general has been the subject of focus. The chloro(pyridine)cobaloxime is very stable and can be used as a precursor to many other cobaloximes. Specifically, the reduction of chloro(pyridine)cobaloxime gives a very nucleophilic Co- ion, which can react to form new cobalt-carbon bonds. The cobalt-carbon bond can be broken either thermally or photolytically

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.
and N,N-diakyl-N-hydroxyureas from O-phenyl-N-hydroxycarbamate allows for the production of mono- and di-substituted hydroxyureas in mild conditions. The starting material, O-phenyl-N-hydroxycarbamate, is stable in water, and does not require hydroxyl protection, both of which render it more versatile than other carbamate starting materials. Synthesis by this method has allowed for the successful production of hydroxyureas N-substituted with pyrrolidine, morpholine, diethylamine, methylamine and

A facile, high-yielding route to N-alkyl-N’-hydroxyureas has been optimized from the air- and water-stable phosgene

Jesus Christ, according to the Holy Bible, was born in a stable below a bright star to the Virgin Mary, a major figure in a number of Christian denominations. He grew up, and began preaching radical kindness, even though his teachings disagreed with the Jewish authorities. He was ultimately betrayed by one of his disciples and put to death on a day that is

The thermal stability of

Computational modeling of this enzyme and its structure suggests that compounds with a benzofulvene core show high nanomolar binding

Rodion A. Zhuravlev, Senior Capstone Seminar Solid polymer electrolytes are a safer alternative to the current electrolytes found in lithium-ion batteries.
, 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

graduate programs, is once again stable. That is very good news. And one more important point: As we built our operating budget for this current year, both the economy and our projections suggested that it would be prudent to plan for a small enrollment adjustment, so we built our financial plan for this year assuming a modestly smaller total enrollment. As a result, our anticipated enrollment is well aligned with support our budget model for the year. Goal # 2: Support for Faculty and Staff Our
