- Jason Tubbs was investigating ion pair formation in dilute solutions
of ionic liquids in low dielectric media using proton Nuclear Magnetic
Resonance spectroscopy. (Dr. Markus Hoffmann)
- Jim Hutchings was setting up and calibrating an experimental assembly
for the studying phase behavior ionic liquids with carbon dioxide and
other gases.
- Megan Bennett was investigating the intermolecular interaction between
surfactant and water, as they manifest themselves in the proton Nuclear
Magnetic Resonance spectrum.
- Kristina Fuller studied the solvation of fluorescent molecules in supercritical fluids. (Dr. Mark Heitz)
- Ahmed Yimam worked with Dr. Maggie Logan on a project focused on preparing diaryl tellurides.
- High School student Jacob Terrance refined some of the laboratory
experiments in CHM 305/306. He also acquired numerous UV-vis spectra
and temperature dependent NMR spectra to study the interactions of ionic
liquids in various solvent media.
