Synthesis and Photophysics of Platinum(II) Terdentate and Bidentate Complexes.
(North Dakota State University, 2010)Platinum(ll) terdentate and bidentate complexes possess square-planar d8 configuration. The moderate metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (1MLCT) absorption, 3MLCT emission, and broadband excited-state absorption are the ... -
Synthesis of Novel Biomass-derived Diol and Epoxide Monomers for Coatings Applications
(North Dakota State University, 2022)There are few monomers or precursors in the polymer industry that are more ubiquitous than bisphenol A (BPA). According to the CDC, about 5-6 billion pounds of BPA are produced worldwide annually. For the synthesis of ... -
Synthesis of Precursors to Non-isocyanate Polyurethanes
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Biobased diamines are excellent precursors for the synthesis of non-isocyanate polyurethanes (NIPUs). We have prepared several biobased diamines using three different reactions for their synthesis. In the first method, we ... -
Synthesis, Characterization, and Application of Low and Reduced Band Gap Thieno[3,4-b]pyrazine-based Materials
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Conjugated polymers are a class of materials receiving significant interest due to their unique combination of optical and electronic properties found in inorganics with the flexibility and processability of traditional ... -
Synthesis, Photophysics, and Nonlinear Absorption of Platinum (II) and Iridium (III) Complexes
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Square planar d8 platinum(II) complexes and octahedral d6 iridium(III) complexes were synthesized. Their photophysics were studied in detail. Structure-property relationship was studied by varying the substitution on the ... -
