New and improved syntheses of heteroatom substituted boranes (2010)
Thesis
Platt, N. New and improved syntheses of heteroatom substituted boranes. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

The Thesis is based upon the development of novel synthetic strategies
towards heteroatom substituted boranes. The strategies that have been developed and
their application towards the synthesis of new species and their characterisation are
dis... Read More about New and improved syntheses of heteroatom substituted boranes.

Precursors for doped boron carbide thin films (2010)
Thesis
Guest, A. Precursors for doped boron carbide thin films. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

This Thesis is concerned with the development of high yield synthetic strategies to
phosphaboranes and phosphacarboranes. These compounds have attracted attention
due to their potential as single-source precursors for the deposition of thin films... Read More about Precursors for doped boron carbide thin films.

Hydrogen storage in novel carbon materials (2009)
Thesis
Keens, S. Hydrogen storage in novel carbon materials. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

This thesis examines the potential of C 60 intercalated graphite and titanium oxide
'decorated' graphite as sorbing hydrogen storage media.
Initially, various types of natural flake graphite were examined and characterised with
X-ray diffraction a... Read More about Hydrogen storage in novel carbon materials.

Novel precursors for the growth of TiO2 by liquid injection MOCVD (2009)
Thesis
Clarke, C. Novel precursors for the growth of TiO2 by liquid injection MOCVD. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

A comprehensive examination of the feasibility of producing new titania precursors by
ligand substitution reactions involving the reaction between titanium tetra-isopropoxide
and various dimethylamino alcohols has resulted in the synthesis, charact... Read More about Novel precursors for the growth of TiO2 by liquid injection MOCVD.
