IN-SITU SPECTROSCOPY OF THE EARLY EVENTS IN THE RHODIUM MEDIATED PAUSON KHAND REACTION. AYMAN DAOUD ALLIAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF SINGAPORE 2006 IN-SITU SPECTROSCOPY OF THE EARLY EVENTS IN THE RHODIUM MEDIATED PAUSON KHAND REACTION. AYMAN DAOUD ALLIAN (B. Eng. UIUC, M .Eng., NUS-UIUC JOINT MS. PROGRAM) A THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DEPARTMENT OF CHEMICAL & BIOMOLECULAR ENGINEERING NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF SINGAPORE 2006 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The research carried out in this thesis was a multidisciplinary and required (1) designing and machining of flow through high/low pressure reactors and spectroscopic cells, (2) using various spectroscopic tools (IR and Raman and NMR) (3) carrying out blind deconvolution of the collected in-situ spectra, (4) a sound understanding of organometallic chemistry in particular coordination chemistry (5) the use of density functional theory to assist in geometrical assignments. Such an immense task can not be achieved by a single individual, therefore, I was very fortunate to be part of very competent team at the National University of Singapore and Institute of Chemical and Engineering Sciences (ICES) whom their constant support helped me tremendously overcome many of the obstacles faced while carrying out this diverse project. The first person I would like to thank is my supervisor Marc Garland for making sure that I acquired all the resources needed to carry out my research. In addition, I would like to thank him for all the good conversations on science, politics and life. I am very grateful to his understanding of my sense of curiosity which stretched me at times but it was very satisfying. I remember at some point I was working on (i) a thermodynamic project, (ii) analyzing spectra from a heterogeneous system and (iii) writing a MATLAB script to analyze Raman optical activity simultaneously. I would like to thank Prof. Mark Saeys and his research group in particular Xu Jing and Sun Wenjie for their help on DFT calculations. Our collaboration resulted in a successful project wherein the results were published in the journal of vibrational spectroscopy. DFT became an essential tool for the research conducted in this dissertation and I’ll always be grateful to Prof. Mark Saeys even for the DFT work carried out beyond the mentioned collaboration because he and his team were the one who got me started. In addition, I would like to thank the undergraduate students that I supervised while they were carrying out their final year project Teo Boon Wee and Wang Yezhong as both really made significant contribution to the development of the DFT calculations on Rhodium carbonyl species. I would like to thank Dr Li Chuanzhao, for training me on using in-situ high pressure spectroscopy and valuable remarks/feedback on my work throughout my PHD in particular issues related to organometallics chemistry and reactors design/use. I also would like to thank my friend and partner Martin Tjahjono. Martin’s expertise in thermodynamic i and my experience with chemistry/spectroscopy/DFT were an excellent combination that enabled us to complete four projects successfully. Results from two projects were published in good journals and were well received by the scientific community. Also, I would like to thank Martin for the wonderful conversation on life and religion. I like to thank Dr Effendi Widjaja, for his valuable support in using Raman spectroscopy and numerical aspects and Dr Chacko Jacob for carrying out the 13 C NMR experiment and his help in making sense of the resultant spectra. I would like to thank Dr Guo Liangfeng for his resourcefulness in using MATLAB. I also like to thank Dr Gao Feng and Mr Karl Irwin Krummel for enriching conversation on heterogeneous catalysis and rhodium phosphine chemistry. I also would like to thank Dr Chew Wee for many of stimulating discussions. I would like to express my thanks all of members in our research group including Ms Cheng Shuying and Mr Zhang Huajun my friends in NUS Jeremy Daniel Lease, N.V.S.N. Murthy Konda and Ng Yew Seng who made my graduate student life interesting. I would like to the technical staff at NUS, in particular Mr Ng Kim Poi and his employee at the workshop their help on machining my designed flow through spectroscopic cells. I would like to thank my family for their moral support through out my PHD. I also would like to thank God. While I did work hard in the past 10 years of my academic life, but the successful completion of my PHD was just beyond my wildest dreams as young boy growing up in east Jerusalem and would not be possible without his generosity. I always felt that I was in the right time and the right place and being part of the right team. Finally this thesis is dedicated to my parents Siham and Daoud Allian. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT ……………………………………………………… … i SUMMARY ………………………………………………………………………… x NOMENCLATURE
