Flyer: Prof. Jack Norton Flyer Title: Applications of Catalytic H• Transfer from H2 Abstract: Transition-metal hydride complexes with en-he bonds stronger than 56 kcal mol' can often be generated from hydrogen, and may thus be able to catalyze the transfer of H from that gas. Hydrides with unusually weak M-H bonds, such as HV(CO),(dppe), can…

Flyer: Prof. Ellen M. Matson Flyer Title: Structure-function Relationships that Dictate Proton Coupled Electron Transfer at the Surfaces of Polyoxometalate Clusters Abstract:While the dynamics of proton- and electron-transfer at metal oxides have been studied extensively in the field of electrochemical energy storage, researchers have only very recently begun to understand how these process play out…

Flyer: Prof. Timothy Su Flyer Title: Sila-Diamondoids: Atomically Precise Clusters of Crystalline Silicon Abstract: This talk will describe the synthesis, derivatization, and quantum transport properties of silicon diamondoids—atomically precise clusters of crystalline silicon. First, we describe strategies for the functionalization of the fundamental silicon diamondoid cluster, sila-adamantane. Mechanistic insights support that an aluminate-stabilized silylium at…
