Crossroads and Terminations in Transuranium Chemistry 

Bray, Travis (2008-08-15)
The focus of this dissertation is published results from my doctoral research at Auburn University, the scope of which is multifaceted. The first topic covers recent research devoted to developing a better understanding ...

Degradation of Estradiol in Water and Soil Using a New Class of Stabilized Manganese Dioxide Nanoparticles and Hydrodechlorination of Triclosan Using Supported Palladium Catalysts 

Han, Bing (2015-07-29)
Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs), such as 17 beta-estradiol (E2) and triclosan (TCS), are endocrine disruptors that have been found in surface water and groundwater. The low concentration of these endocrine ...

The Identification of Critical Active-Site Groups and Catalytic Steps Governing the Desulfonation Reaction by Alkanesulfonate Monooxygenase 

Robbins, John (2012-10-08)
The alkanesulfonate monooxygenase enzyme (SsuD) catalyzes the oxygenolytic cleavage of a carbon-sulfur bond of sulfonated substrates. A mechanism involving acid-base catalysis is proposed for the desulfonation mechanism ...

Mechanism and Kinetics of One-electron Oxidation of Methanesulfinate and Two-electron Oxidation of Thiols and Disulfides 

Yang, Yixuan (2022-05-04)
One-electron oxidation of alkylsulfinic acids has been of great interest for years as the reaction mechanisms are known to be quite elusive. We herein investigate the kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of an alkylsulfinic ...

Mechanisms and Kinetics of Proton-Coupled Electron-Transfer Oxidation of Phenols 

Song, Na (2011-11-28)
The kinetics of the aqueous oxidation of phenol by a deficiency of [IrCl6]2– has been investigated. The reaction initially produces [IrCl6]3– and phenoxyl radicals. The inhibition caused by [IrCl6]3– can be prevented by ...

Synthesis and Characterization of Tetra- and Penta-dentate Schiff Base Complexes for Application in Actinide Sensing 

Hardy, Emily E. (2018-07-09)
The advent of the nuclear power era has the potential to provide inexpensive, plentiful electricity with reduced carbon emissions, but these benefits are offset by concerns about the potential environmental effects of a ...
