Doctor of Philosophy / Department of Chemical Engineering / Keith L. Hohn / Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle functionalization is an area of intensely active research, with applications across disciplines such as biomedical science and heterogeneous catalysis. This work demonstrates the functionalization of iron oxide nanoparticles with a quasi-monolayer of 11-sulfoundecanoic acid, 10-phosphono-1-decanesulfonic acid, and 11-aminoundecanoic acid. The carboxylic and phosphonic moieties form bonds to the iron oxide particle core, while the sulfonic acid groups face outward where they are available for catalysis. The particles were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), potentiometric titration, diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS), inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS), and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The sulfonic acid functionalized particles were used to catalyze the hydrolysis of sucrose at 80˚C and starch at 130˚C, showing a higher activity per acid site than the traditional solid acid catalyst Amberlyst-15, and comparing well against results reported in the literature for sulfonic acid functionalized mesoporous silicas. In sucrose catalysis reactions, the phosphonic-sulfonic nanoparticles (PSNPs) were seen to be incompletely recovered by an external magnetic field, while the carboxylic-sulfonic nanoparticles (CSNPs) showed a trend of increasing activity over the first four recycle runs. Between the two sulfonic ligands, the phosphonates produced a more tightly packed monolayer, which corresponded to a higher sulfonic acid loading, lower agglomeration, lower recoverability through application of an external magnetic field, and higher activity per acid site for the hydrolysis of starch. Functionalizations with 11-aminoundecanoic acid resulted in some amine groups binding to the surfaces of iron oxide nanoparticles. This amine binding is commonly ignored in iron oxide nanoparticle syntheses and functionalizations for biomedical and catalytic applications, affecting understandings of surface charge and other material properties.

Der Fokus dieser Dissertation lag in der Untersuchung des Potentials von Aluminium-chlorofluorid (ACF) als Katalysator für die Synthese von fluorierten Verbindungen. Insbesondere die C−F-Aktivierung von verschiedenen polyfluorierten Stoffen wurde untersucht, welches die Effizienz des festen Lewis-Säure-Katalysators für diesen Reaktionstyp zeigte. Das potente Treibhausgas 2-Chlor-1,1,1,2-tetrafluorpropan wurde erfolgreich in das dehydrofluorierte Produkt. Weiterhin wurden Umsetzungen von Pentafluorpropan-Isomeren wie z.B. 1,1,1,3,3-Pentafluorpropan, 1,1,1,2,2-Pentafluorpropan und 1,1,1,2,3-Pentafluorpropan mit ACF als Katalysator untersucht. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass die Aktivierung der primären CH2F-Gruppe in schnell stattfindet und dabei keine Wasserstoffquelle erfordert. Im Kontrast dazu, wurde für die Aktivierung von CF2-Gruppen eine Wasserstoffquelle wie etwa HSiEt3 benötigt und resultierte in der Bildung eines Produktgemischs. Alternativ wurden Hydrofluorierungsreaktionen von mehreren Substraten durch die Synthese und den Einsatz eines neuen Materials erreicht, welches auf der Immobilisierung von HF auf der Oberfläche von ACF beruht. Dieses HF-ACF wurde unter der Verwendung von vielfältigen Charakterisierungsmethoden umfassend untersucht. Die innere Struktur des Festkörpers, wurden mit MAS-NMR-Spektroskopie, FTIR, Inelastische Neutronenstreuung, XRD und Thermoanalyse analysiert Dadurch konnte gezeigt werden, dass eine geringfügige Reorganisation des bulks zu einer besser geordneten Matrix und die Bildung einer mit der ACF-Oberfläche wechselwirkenden Polyfluorid-Struktur vorliegt. Zur Bestimmung der Oberflächengröße wurde das BET-Modell genutzt und zur Analyse der Porengröße wurde die NLDFT verwendet. Abschließend wurden verschiedene Probeverbindungen an der Oberfläche des HF-ACFs adsorbiert um die Azidität der Oberfläche zu bestimmen und es konnte gezeigt werden, dass eine signifikante Reduktion der Lewis- und Brønsted-Azidität vorliegt. / The main focus of this thesis lies in the study of the potential of aluminum chlorofluoride (ACF) as a catalyst for the synthesis of fluorinated compounds. In particular, C−F bond activations of various polyfluorinated compounds were studied, showing the efficiency of this solid Lewis acid catalyst for this type of reaction. The potent greenhouse gas 2-chloro-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoropropane was successfully transformed into the dehydrofluorination product 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene under mild conditions. Similarly, transformation of pentafluoropropane isomers, such as 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane, 1,1,1,2,2- pentafluoropropane and 1,1,1,2,3-pentafluoropropane was also investigated using ACF as a catalyst. It was evidenced that the primary CH2F group present in 1,1,1,2,3-pentafluoropropane was easily activated without the need for a hydrogen source. In contrast, to activate CF2 groups, a hydrogen source such as HSiEt3 was required, generating a variety of products. Alternatively, successful hydrofluorination reactions of several substrates were conducted by synthesizing a new material, based on the loading of hydrogen fluoride (HF) at the surface of ACF. This HF-loaded ACF was deeply studied using a wide range of characterization methods. For the bulk, MAS NMR spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Inelastic Neutron Scattering (INS), Powder X-Ray Diffraction (P-XRD), and thermoanalysis were performed, revealing a slight reorganization of the bulk towards a better-ordered matrix and the formation of polyfluoride structure interacting with the surface of ACF. The BET model was used for the surface area determination, and the pore size analysis was established using the non local density functional theory (NLDFT). Finally, various probe molecules were adsorbed at the surface of HF-loaded ACF to determine the acidity of the surface, revealing a significantly reduced Lewis and Brønsted acidity.

Metal nanoclusters exhibit unique properties which differ from their bulk materials, owing to the quantum size effects. For example, the catalytic activity of transition metal nanoclusters generally increases with decreasing particle size. However, nanoclusters tend to be fairly unstable with respect to the agglomerate into bulk metal in solution and thus special precautions have to be taken to avoid their aggregation or precipitation during the preparation of such nanoclusters in solution. In order to obtain stable nanoclusters dispersed in solution, a stabilizing agent is usually added into the reaction system. The stabilization of metal nanoclusters in solution can be achieved either by electrostatically by using charged ions such as acetate ion or sterically by long chain molecules such as polymers. Polymers are one of the most widely used steric stabilizers for the preparation of stable metal nanoclusters in solution. The use of polymers as stabilizer for the synthesis of transition metal nanoclusters provides advantegous regarding solubility, conductivity, thermal stability and reusability. The metal nanoclusters stabilized by polymers generally show higher catalytic activity, stability and optical properties. In this dissertation we report the preparation and characterization of water soluble polymer stabilized transition metal(0) (metal= Ni, Co and Ru) nanoclusters and their v catalysis in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of sodium borohydride (NaBH4) and ammonia borane (AB) which are the best candidates as chemical hydrogen storage materials for on-board applications. The water soluble polymer stabilized nickel(0), cobalt(0) and ruthenium(0) nanoclusters were prepared by using two different facile methods / (i) the reduction of metal precursors by sodium borohydride in the presence poly(N-vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) in methanol solution after 1h reflux, (ii) the in situ generation during the hydrolysis of ammonia borane in the presence of poly(4-styrene sulfonicacid-co-maleic acid) (PSSA-co-MA). The characterization of both type of polymer stabilized transition metal(0) nanoclusters were done by using UV-Visible electronic absorption spectroscopy (UV-Vis), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and FT-IR techniques. The catalytic activity of PVP stabilized nickel(0), cobalt(0) and ruthenium(0) nanoclusters was tested in the hydrolysis of NaBH4 and AB. The catalytic acitivity of PSSA-co-MA stabilized nickel(0), cobalt(0) and ruthenium(0) nanoclusters was tested only in the hydrolysis of AB in which they were in situ generated. The kinetics of hydrogen generation from both hydrolysis reactions in the presence PVP or PSSA-co-MA stabilized nickel(0), cobalt(0) and ruthenium(0) nanoclusters were studied depending on the polymer to metal ratio, catalyst concentration, substrate concentration and temperature as well as the activation parameters (Arrhenius activation energy (Ea), activation enthalpy (
