neutral species while ionic liquids are composed of ionic species and ionic intermediates commonly known as “ionic fluids” and “liquid electrolytes”. In ionic liquids there is a species that has a delocalized species and the other species may an organic species or an inorganic species. The term "ionic liquid" in the general sense was used as early as 1943. They are powerful solvents and electrically conducting fluids. Any salt that melts without decomposing produces ionic fluids. As ionic bond…

often with high selectivity and trivial conditions. Our research group specializes in organometallic chemistry, most notably transition metal and actinide coordination complexes. Moreover, my graduate student mentor, Nicholas Klann, and I have begun developing a tripyrrole nickel coordination complex…

In today’s society, the American education system is not at its peak; it’s corrupt and polluted with twisted appeals towards money and business. This makes a real education hard to earn, but easy to be handed over via a sheet of paper. Unfortunately, there’s not much individuals can do except raise awareness and hope for a fix. One individual, Mark Edmundson, a professor at the University of Virginia, discusses these ideas in a book titled Why Teach? In Defense of a Real Education. One of…

Biophysics Ph.D. Program is an exceptional and prestigious program that will provide me the opportunity to broaden my skills and intellect within biochemical research fields. This top-ranked program is an ideal fit for me as it contains the biological chemistry and biophysical that I aspire to focus on during my graduate studies. I am greatly interested in biochemical pathway elucidation and structure-based drug design by understanding the specific molecular interactions of essential enzymes in…

improve the efficiency of gasification and to inhibit the formation of dimer. The results of experiment show that Ru/CeO2 SCWG system is a good method to treat phenols. Another aspect this article discuses is the uses of SCW in field of chemistry such as use in organic synthesis, use in powder technology of inorganic substances, and use in chemical…

Carbonyl compounds undergo various types of reaction. In these reaction the carbonyl carbon or carbonyl oxygen is prone to attack generally by a nucleophile. Different types of carbonyl compounds undergo different types of reactions and the mechanisms of them are also different. The products or by-products or intermediate products of these reactions are very much useful in laboratory synthesis, industry etc. here we will discuss some very much important reactions which are very important for…

sitting in chemistry listening to descriptions chemical reactions. Why am I even sitting here trying to make sense of a subject that has no practical relevance to our lives whatsoever? Realistically, out of all senior chemistry students, who will actually use chemical principles on a daily basis? Most of us haven’t chosen a career pathway yet. The un-deciders, like me, hopelessly put effort in getting grade that in the long run, has no relevance in deciding our future. I stare at my chemistry…

The expression "SN1" is the abbreviation of "unimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction", one of the most common reactions in organic chemistry. As a fundamental reaction type, the mechanism of SN1 reaction has long been clear to the researchers, and the rate of the reaction concluded from the mechanism is quite simple. According to the mechanism, the rate of an "ideal" SN1 reaction is only proportional to the concentration of the substrate, which can be expressed as the following formula:…

acid Benzoic acid is produced extensively and on a large scale by partial oxidation of toluene with oxygen at moderate temperature and pressure in the presence of a catalyst. Most industrial processes uses catalysis - one of the principles of green chemistry . The process uses cheap raw materials and delivers a high…

1-[Cyano(4-methoxyphenyl)methyl]cycloalkanol (VF-I) synthesized through the reaction of p-methoxyphenylacetonitrile and cyclohexanone using aq. NaOH and tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulfate as PTC. NaBH4 and CoCl2 in 2:1 THF: H2O used for the reduction of VF-I to obtain 1-(2-amino-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethyl)cyclohexanol (VF-II). Further, venlafaxine derivative of the amino acid -carboxamide (VFCA-I toVII ) synthesized through coupling of N-Phthaloyl amino acid chloride derivative (2a-2g-…
