  32. Self-assembly Procedure • Dissolved palladium(II) chloride in acetonitrile at 78 °C • Dissolved oxadiazole molecule in acetonitrile at 0 °C

  33. Problems Encountered • Extracting self-assembled macromolecules using deuterated solvents.

  34. Analysis of Macromolecule

  35. Future Work • Utilize other components for ligation, such as PtCl2 or ReCl2.

  36. Future Work • Utilize other components for ligation, such as PtCl2 or ReCl2. • Assess the fluorescence of modified tetramers.

  37. Acknowledgments • Dr. Ronald Brisbois • Macalester College • Minnesota Academy of Science • Ms. Lois Fruen • Breck Team Science Research

  38. Synthesis of Oxadiazole Derivatives for Use in Supramolecular Assembly Matthew B. Weiss 2006

  39. Analysis • Electron Impact Mass Spectroscopy (EI-MS) http://www.svsu.edu/emplibrary/set_chem_facilities_ftir.jpg

  40. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance • All particles have a property called spin. • In a magnetic field, particles spin with or against the field. • When excited with microwave energy, particles become excited and change their spin slightly.
