Brian Gold presents on the geometry, mathematics, and applications of group theory in chemical fingerprinting.

An introduction to constructing and recognising chemical formulas. Using 20 well-known elements, the valency-rules which govern the atomic ratios are explained and used with several examples.

An introduction into the writing down of fully balanced chemical equations. The process is explained starting with word equations, finding all the relevant formulas and then working with some useful rules for finding the correct coefficients in the b....

The concept of oxidation and reduction is explained and generalised using oxidation numbers with ionic and covalent examples. Several equations are balanced, using the oxidation number method to fix various atomic ratios.

We are faced with energy challenges and the promise of power with hydrogen. The fuel cell and solid state hydrogen storage methodologies are currently limited by materials and represent the cutting edge of energy technology. Implementation to a real ....

Many products you use everyday are the direct result of synthetic innovation in organic chemistry. The McQuade group is interested designing catalysts to aid in more efficient synthetic transformations. n We are especially interested in the effect of....

Some heart arrhythmias are produced by the presence of additional pacemakers in the heart. Those pacemakers are death tissues or scars that trap electrical waves. As an analogy, we pinned scroll waves to obstacles using the Belousov-Zhabotinsky react....

We have synthesized different alkali metal peroxychromates and K3NbO8 doped with K3CrO8crystals based on rare oxidation state of Chromium (V).We have studied their spectroscopic properties using EPR and pulsed EPR. Coherent spin manipulation on Cr+5 ....

The ultrahigh mass resolving power and sub-ppm mass accuracy of Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) allow the assignment of a unique molecular formula to each peak in the mass spectrum. Ionization methods for petro....

Etherification and olefination reactions play an important role in synthetic organic chemistry on a daily basis. As organic chemists we apply these methods to tackle synthetic targets of ever increasing complexity. As a graduate student in the Dudley....

The development of reliable molecular scale building blocks for the construction of nanoscale devices is one of the greatest challenges for the development of numerous applications of these exciting materials. This research describes our efforts in t....
