Cross Coupling Reactions Catalyzed By (Nhc)Pd(Ii) Complexes, Nevi̇n Gürbüz, Emi̇ne Özge Karaca, İsmai̇l Özdemi̇r, Beki̇r Çeti̇nkaya
Turkish Journal of Chemistry
This review is focused on new developments reported during the last 3 years concerning the catalytic performances of in situ formed or preformed NHC--Pd(II) complexes (NHC: $N$-heterocyclic carbene) for cross-coupling reactions such as Heck--Mizoraki (often shortened to the Heck reaction), Kumada, Negishi, Suzuki--Miyaura (often shortened to the Suzuki reaction), Sonogashira and Hiyama couplings, and the Buchwald--Hartwig aminations, which are extremely powerful in the formation of C--C and C--heteroatom bonds. Due to the great number of publications and limited space here, we made a special attempt to compile the relevant data in tables, which we hope will serve as a guide …

Monodisperse Palladium Nanoparticles Supported On Chemically Derived Graphene: Highly Active And Reusable Nanocatalysts For Suzuki--Miyaura Cross-Coupling Reactions, Feyyaz Durap, Önder Meti̇n
Turkish Journal of Chemistry
Addressed herein is the catalysis of monodisperse palladium nanoparticles (NPs) supported on chemically derived graphene (CDG) for the Suzuki--Miyaura cross-coupling of phenylboronic acid and various aryl halides. Monodisperse Pd NPs were synthesized by the solution phase reduction of palladium(II) acetylacetonate with morpholine borane complex in oleylamine and deposited on CDG via the liquid phase self-assembly method. Colloidal Pd NPs and CDG-Pd catalyst were characterized by TEM, XRD, SEM, and ICP-MS analyses. The CDG-Pd catalyst showed high activity in the Suzuki--Miyaura cross-couplings of different aryl halides including iodides, bromides, and even chlorides with phenylboronic acid under mild conditions. More importantly, the …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry
A series of new aminophosphines [Ph$_{2}$PHN-C$_{6}$H$_{4}$-R, where R = $o$-SH (4a), $m$-SH (4b) or $p$-SH (4c)] were readily synthesized from cheap starting materials by the phosphorylation reaction of $o$, $m$, and $p$-aminothiophenols with Ph$_{2}$PCl in the presence of triethyl amine. The new compounds were characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy and microanalysis. In addition, aminophosphine ligands-palladium systems were investigated as precatalysts in C-C coupling reactions. Compounds 4b and 4c were proved to be excellent catalysts for Suzuki and Heck cross-coupling reactions.

Turkish Journal of Chemistry
Five novel benzimidazole salts (1-5) having N-phthalimidoethyl and 4-substituted benzyl were synthesized and identified by $^{1}$H NMR, $^{13}$C NMR, and IR spectroscopic methods and microanalysis. A mixture of the benzimidazole salts (1-5), Pd(OAc)$_{2}$, and K$_{2}$CO$_{3}$ in DMF-H$_{2}$O catalyzed, in high yield, the Suzuki-Miyaura and the Heck-Mizoroki cross-coupling reactions assisted by microwave irradiation in 5 min. The novel benzimidazole salts (1-5), Pd(OAc)$_{2}$, Cs$_{2}$CO$_{3}$, PEG, and Cu nanoparticles catalyzed, in high yield, the Sonogashira coupling reaction promoted by microwave irradiation in 10 min. The same benzimidazole salts (1-5), Pd(OAc)$_{2}$, Cs$_{2}$CO$_{3}$, and TBAB catalyzed, in moderate or low yield, the Buchwald-Hartwig reaction assisted …

Substituted 2-(2''-Pyridyl)Benzimidazole Palladium(Ii) Complexes As An Efficient Catalytic System For Suzuki--Miyaura Cross-Coupling Reactions, Mahmut Ulusoy, Nurdal Öncel, Emi̇ne Aytar
Turkish Journal of Chemistry
A new series of $N,N$-type 2-(2'-pyridyl)benzimidazole ligands (2A$_{\mathbf{1}}$, 2A$_{\mathbf{2}}$, 3B$_{\mathbf{1}}$, 3B$_{\mathbf{2}}$, 3B$_{\mathbf{3}}$, and 4C$_{\mathbf{1}})$ and their Pd(II) complexes (5A$_{\mathbf{1}}$, 5A$_{\mathbf{2}}$, 6B$_{\mathbf{1}}$, 6B$_{\mathbf{2}}$, 6B$_{\mathbf{3}}$, and 7C$_{\mathbf{1}})$ were prepared and characterized by conventional spectroscopic methods and elemental analyses. The incorporation of $N$-coordinated benzimidazole complexes of palladium gave high catalytic activity in the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of aryl halides substrates. After determining the best active catalyst as 5A$_{\mathbf{1}}$, bearing the mesityl substituent on the benzimidazole ring with the Pd(II) ion, optimization studies were carried out via changing the substrate, base, time, atmosphere, and the effect of water. The DMF:H$_{2}$O (4/1) and Cs$_{2}$CO$_{3}$ as base …
Combinatorial Potpourri: Permutations, Products, Posets, And Pfaffians, Norman B. Fox
Combinatorial Potpourri: Permutations, Products, Posets, And Pfaffians, Norman B. Fox
Theses and Dissertations--Mathematics
In this dissertation we first examine the descent set polynomial, which is defined in terms of the descent set statistics of the symmetric group. Algebraic and topological tools are used to explain why large classes of cyclotomic polynomials are factors of the descent set polynomial. Next the diamond product of two Eulerian posets is studied, particularly by examining the effect this product has on their cd-indices. A combinatorial interpretation involving weighted lattice paths is introduced to describe the outcome of applying the diamond product operator to two cd-monomials. Then the cd-index is defined for infinite posets, with …
Weak Values Obtained In Matter-Wave Interferometry, Stephan Sponar, Tobias Denkmayr, Hermann Geppert, Hartmutt Lemmel, Alexandre Matzkin, Jeff Tollaksen, Yuji Hasegawa
Weak Values Obtained In Matter-Wave Interferometry, Stephan Sponar, Tobias Denkmayr, Hermann Geppert, Hartmutt Lemmel, Alexandre Matzkin, Jeff Tollaksen, Yuji Hasegawa
Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research
Weak values, introduced more than 25 years ago, underwent a metamorphosis from a theoretical curiosity to a powerful resource in photonics for exploring foundations of quantum mechanics, as well as a practical laboratory tool. Due to the tiny coherence volume of particles used in matter-wave optics, a straightforward implementation of weak measurements is not feasible. We have overcome this hurdle by developing a method to weakly measure a massive particle's spin component. A neutron optical approach is realized by utilizing neutron interferometry, where the neutron's spin is coupled weakly to its spatial degree of freedom. Here, we present how one …
An Extension Of Herglotz's Theorem To The Quaternions, Daniel Alpay, Fabrizio Colombo, David P. Kimsey, Irene Sabadini, David P. Kimsey
An Extension Of Herglotz's Theorem To The Quaternions, Daniel Alpay, Fabrizio Colombo, David P. Kimsey, Irene Sabadini, David P. Kimsey
Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research
A classical theorem of Herglotz states that a function n↦r(n) from Z into Cs×s is positive definite if and only there exists a Cs×s-valued positive measure dμ on [0,2π] such that r(n)=∫2π0eintdμ(t)for n∈Z. We prove a quaternionic analogue of this result when the function is allowed to have a number of negative squares. A key tool in the argument is the theory of slice hyperholomorphic functions, and the representation of such functions which have a positive real part in the unit ball of the quaternions. We study in great detail the case of positive definite functions.
Approximation Of Nested Fixpoints, Alexander Kurz
Approximation Of Nested Fixpoints, Alexander Kurz
Engineering Faculty Articles and Research
The question addressed in this paper is how to correctly approximate infinite data given by systems of simultaneous corecursive definitions. We devise a categorical framework for reasoning about regular datatypes, that is, datatypes closed under products, coproducts and fixpoints. We argue that the right methodology is on one hand coalgebraic (to deal with possible nontermination and infinite data) and on the other hand 2-categorical (to deal with parameters in a disciplined manner). We prove a coalgebraic version of Bekic lemma that allows us to reduce simultaneous fixpoints to a single fix point. Thus a possibly infinite object of interest is …

Photogenerated O-Azaxylylenes: Mechanistic Studies And Synthetic Applications, William Cole Cronk
Photogenerated O-Azaxylylenes: Mechanistic Studies And Synthetic Applications, William Cole Cronk
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This research sets out to build upon excited state o-azaxylylene cycloaddition. The mechanism behind the excitation and cycloaddition process of photogenerated o-azaxylylenes was determined experimentally. Time-correlated single-photon counting, steady-state spectroscopy, triplet quenching experiments, and quantum yield studies provided evidence suggesting that excited state intramolecular proton transfer is followed by intersystem crossing and stepwise addition to the tethered unsaturated pendant.
In keeping with the principles of diversity oriented synthesis, a modular approach was taken to gain access to a diverse array of N,O,S-Polyheterocycles which were modified postphotochemically via Suzuki coupling to yield fused biaryls. Cycloaddition products, outfitted with halogens …

Voigt, Reuss, Hill, And Self-Consistent Techniques For Modeling Ultrasonic Scattering, Christopher M. Kube, Joseph A. Turner
Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering: Faculty Publications
An elastic wave propagating in a metal loses a portion of its energy from scattering caused by acoustic impedance differences existing at the boundaries of anisotropic grains. Theoretical scattering models capture this phenomena by assuming the incoming wave is described by an average elastic moduli tensorC0ijkl (x) that is perturbed by a grain with elasticityCijkl (x ') where the scattering event occurs when x = x’. Previous models have assumed that C0ijkl (x) is the Voigt average of the singlecrystal elastic moduli tensor. However, this assumption …
Acoustic Nonlinearity Parameters For Transversely Isotropic Polycrystalline Materials, Christopher M. Kube, Joseph A. Turner
Acoustic Nonlinearity Parameters For Transversely Isotropic Polycrystalline Materials, Christopher M. Kube, Joseph A. Turner
Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering: Faculty Publications
This article considers polycrystalline materials with macroscopic elastic anisotropy and the effect of the anisotropy on the quadratic nonlinearity parameter used to describe second harmonic generation in solids. The polycrystal is assumed to have transversely isotropic elastic symmetry, which leads to a directional dependence of the nonlinearity parameters. Additionally, the anisotropy leads to second harmonic generation from an input shear wave. Estimates of the longitudinal and shear wave nonlinearity parameters are given as a function of single-crystal elastic constants, macroscopic anisotropy constants, and propagation direction. An inverse model is presented that relates measured nonlinearity parameters to the macroscopic anisotropy constants. …
Acoustic Attenuation Coefficients For Polycrystalline Materials Containing Crystallites Of Any Symmetry Class, Christopher M. Kube, Joesph A. Turner
Acoustic Attenuation Coefficients For Polycrystalline Materials Containing Crystallites Of Any Symmetry Class, Christopher M. Kube, Joesph A. Turner
Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering: Faculty Publications
This letter provides a theoretical extension to the elastic properties of polycrystals in order to describe elastic wave scattering from grain boundaries. The extension allows the longitudinal and shear attenuation coefficients for scattering to be derived and is valid for polycrystals containing crystallites of any symmetry class. Attenuation curves are given for polycrystalline SiO2, ZrO2, and SnF2, which contain monoclinic crystallites. This work will allow ultrasonic techniques to be applied to new classes of materials containing nontrivial microstructures.

Interfacial electronic properties of the CH3NH3PbI3 (MAPbI3)/MoOx interface are investigated using ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy and X-ray photoemission spectroscopy. It is found that the pristine MAPbI3 film coated onto the substrate of poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) poly(styrenesulfonate)/indium tin oxide by two-step method behaves as an n-type semiconductor, with a band gap of ~1.7 eV and a valence band edge of 1.40 eV below the Fermi energy (EF). With the MoOx deposition of 64A ° upon MAPbI3, the energy levels of MAPbI3 shift toward higher binding energy by 0.25 eV due to electron transfer …

Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering: Faculty Publications
The highly efficient polymer solar cells were realized by doping poly(9,9-dioctylfluorenyl-2,7-diyl) (PFO) dots into active layer. The dependence of doping amount on devices performance was investigated and a high efficiency of 7.15% was obtained at an optimal concentration, accounting for a 22.4% enhancement. The incorporation of PFO dots (Pdots) is conducted to the improvement of Jsc and fill factor mainly due to the enhancement of light absorption and charge transport property. Pdots blended in active layer provides an interface for charge transfer and enables the formation of percolation pathways for electron transport. The introduction of Pdots was proven an effective …

In a little over a year, there has been an unexpected breakthrough and rapid evolution of highly efficient solid-state hybrid solar cells based on organometal trihalide perovskite materials. This technology has the potential to produce solar cells with the very highest efficiencies while retaining the very lowest cost. The authors have measured the electronic density of states of CH3NH3PbI3 using ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy (UPS), inverse photoemission spectroscopy (IPES), and x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS). The valence band maximum and conduction band minimum positions are obtained from the UPS and IPES spectra, respectively, by linear extrapolation of …

Mn54-xAl43C3Zrx (x=1, 3) alloys were prepared by rapid solidification followed by heat treatment to produce the ferromagnetic s phase. The substitution of Zr for Mn in the structure resulted in an increase of the saturation magnetization (Ms) compared to that of Mn54-xAl43C3. While the highest Ms (12861 emu/g) was obtained in Mn54-xAl43C3Zr1, the coercivity was also improved to 1.62 kOe, compared to 1.25 kOe for Mn54-xAl43C3. To further improve the coercivity through grain …
Virtue Ethics: Examining Influences On The Ethical Commitment Of Information System Workers In Trusted Positions, John Max Gray
Virtue Ethics: Examining Influences On The Ethical Commitment Of Information System Workers In Trusted Positions, John Max Gray
CCE Theses and Dissertations
Despite an abundance of research on the problem of insider threats, only limited success has been achieved in preventing trusted insiders from committing security violations. Virtue ethics may be an approach that can be utilized to address this issue. Human factors such as moral considerations impact Information System (IS) design, use, and security; consequently they affect the security posture and culture of an organization. Virtue ethics based concepts have the potential to influence and align the moral values and behavior of information systems workers with those of an organization in order to provide increased protection of IS assets. An individual’s …
Incremental Sparse-Pca Feature Extraction For Data Streams, Jean-Pierre Nziga
Incremental Sparse-Pca Feature Extraction For Data Streams, Jean-Pierre Nziga
CCE Theses and Dissertations
Intruders attempt to penetrate commercial systems daily and cause considerable financial losses for individuals and organizations. Intrusion detection systems monitor network events to detect computer security threats. An extensive amount of network data is devoted to detecting malicious activities.
Storing, processing, and analyzing the massive volume of data is costly and indicate the need to find efficient methods to perform network data reduction that does not require the data to be first captured and stored. A better approach allows the extraction of useful variables from data streams in real time and in a single pass. The removal of irrelevant attributes …

Use Of Entropy For Feature Selection With Intrusion Detection System Parameters, Frank Acker
Use Of Entropy For Feature Selection With Intrusion Detection System Parameters, Frank Acker
CCE Theses and Dissertations
The metric of entropy provides a measure about the randomness of data and a measure of information gained by comparing different attributes. Intrusion detection systems can collect very large amounts of data, which are not necessarily manageable by manual means. Collected intrusion detection data often contains redundant, duplicate, and irrelevant entries, which makes analysis computationally intensive likely leading to unreliable results. Reducing the data to what is relevant and pertinent to the analysis requires the use of data mining techniques and statistics. Identifying patterns in the data is part of analysis for intrusion detections in which the patterns are categorized …

Designing An Effective Information Security Policy For Exceptional Situations In An Organization: An Experimental Study, George S. Antoniou
CCE Theses and Dissertations
