SUMMARY:Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series: Titel Jurca
DESCRIPTION:Title: “Building a Toolbox for Sustainable Synthesis and Catalysis” \nAbstract: The presentation will focus on three of our current areas of interest: \nMechanochemical synthesis: by leveraging mechanochemical forces via vibratory ball milling or ultrasonic irradiation\, we can expedite the synthesis of both conventional\, and exotic Schiff base coordination complexes. Critically these reactions can be performed solvent-free or solvent-minimal\, and facilitate the formation of target compounds in one-pot and one-step from multiple starting materials in minutes-to-hours compared to conventional multi-day\, multi-step processes. \nSilane-based reductions: using silanes\, high-valent\, mid d-block metal halides can be controllably reduced to highly reactive mid-valent synthons (e.g. MoCl3). The reactions are facile\, and produce only H2 and recoverable chlorosilanes as byproduct. The resulting products are ideal starting points towards new precursors for ALD and CVD; enabling technologies for coatings\, electronic materials\, and heterogeneous catalysis. \nMonolith-based nanocatalysts: controlled growth of nanocatalysts on contiguous Ni foams. Ni foams afford numerous advantages; among these include ease of handling and facile separability inherent to monolith systems\, suitability for continuous flow catalysis\, and self-stirring. The application of these materials towards catalytic hydrogenations will be discussed.

SUMMARY:Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series: Sundargopal Ghosh
DESCRIPTION:Title: “Coordination Chemistry of Diborane(4) and Diborane(6)” \nAbstract: The fascinating aspect of metallaborane chemistry is that several classic organometallic complexes that defined fundamental structural and bonding paradigms are mimicked by many isoelectronic metallaborane analogues.[1] In this connection\, diborane compounds not only mimics several classic organometallic compounds but also they have been extensively explored for the broad understanding of the chemical bonding and catalysis.[2] For example\, we have recently synthesized and structurally characterized a bimetallic diborane(4) which mimics Cotton’s dimolybdenum–alkyne complex [{CpMo(CO)2}2C2H2].[3] Also\, we have isolated the first classical diborane(5) [B2H5]-\, in which the sp2-B center is stabilized by the electron donation from tantalum.[4] Very recently\, we have developed an uncatalysed synthetic pathway to generate the doubly base stabilised symmetrical and unsymmetrical diborane(4) species from the thermolysis reaction of 2-mercaptopyridine with [BH3.THF]. The key results of this work will be described.

SUMMARY:Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series: Wenyu Huang
DESCRIPTION:Flyer: Prof. Wenyu Huang Flyer \nTitle: From Selective Hydrogenation to Polymer Upcycling: Implementation of Ordered Nanomaterials in Heterogeneous Catalysis \nAbstract: Catalysis—the essential science for accelerating and directing chemical transformation—is the key to realizing environmentally friendly and economical processes for the conversion of fossil energy feedstocks. Catalysis is also the key to developing new technologies for converting alternative feedstocks\, such as waste plastics\, biomass\, carbon dioxide\, nitrogen\, and water\, to chemicals and fuels. The two grand challenges of heterogeneous catalysis\, understanding mechanisms and dynamics of catalyzed reactions as well as the design and controlled synthesis of catalyst structures\, require an atomic and electronic-level understanding of catalysts and catalytic processes. Due to their structural complexity\, especially under reaction conditions\, the catalytic active site and the molecule-catalyst interaction are often difficult to describe. This presentation will discuss our recent research on the synthesis\, characterization\, reaction study\, and modeling of heterogeneous catalysts that are precisely synthesized at the atomic level using well-defined porous silica nanomaterials\, intermetallic compounds\, and metal-organic frameworks\, which provide the means for meeting the two grand challenges of heterogeneous catalysis. This presentation will demonstrate that ordered nanomaterials could not only help the understanding of catalysis mechanisms but also reveal new catalytic phenomena.

SUMMARY:Special Seminar: Research in Chemical Education and STEM Pedagogy: Dr. Heather Tienson-Tseng
DESCRIPTION:Flyer: Dr. Heather Tienson-Tseng Flyer \nTitle: Using Assessment to Inform Instructional Changes \nAbstract: An integral aspect of education is assessment\, but what is the purpose of assessment\, and what can we do to better assess our students? Two common reasons for assigning assessments include determining what students have learned and assigning grades\, yet another purpose of assessments can include providing information about the effectiveness of instruction\, both longstanding approaches and instructional innovations. In this seminar we will discuss both formative and summative assessments\, as well as how one can use all forms of assessment to inform curricular change. Using examples from my research\, we will discuss ways to integrate formative assessment into a course to provide feedback for the instructor as well as learning opportunities for students. We will explore an investigation in which I used a concept inventory to identify chemistry misconceptions held by students at the start of a biochemistry course\, and then used the results of that assessment to make targeted instructional changes that succeeded in correcting those misconceptions. In another study\, I helped develop an exam-level assessment that was used to evaluate student understanding of metabolic pathways; this provided evidence of systems thinking in student responses and illustrates ways to make assessments more accessible to all students. This assessment data can now serve as a baseline to evaluate future instructional changes in the biochemistry course. Through this seminar\, we will see that all forms of assessment can be used to identify areas of instruction that can be improved upon\, and that changes to instruction in response to assessments can be as small as a targeted clicker question or as large as redesigning a course. Regardless\, instructional changes should be based on evidence from student assessments and continually evaluated for their efficacy through assessment of student learning.

SUMMARY:Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Scott Cushing
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Cushing Flyer \nTitle: From Batteries to Photoelectrochemistry: Exploring Ultrafast Phenomena with Electrons\, X-rays\, and Entangled Photons \nAbstract: The Cushing lab focuses on ultrafast instrumentation building that ranges from tabletop X-rays\, entangled photon spectroscopy\, ultrafast TEM/EELS\, to new forms of battery spectroscopy. In this talk\, I will give a brief introduction to our research areas\, mentioning the increasingly “null” space explored with entangled photons\, and then focus on two of the techniques – table top X-ray spectroscopy and our newly created laser-driven ultrafast impedance method. First\, we use transient X-ray techniques to element-specifically explore complex photodynamics in solar to fuel and other solid-state systems. The ultrafast X-ray pulses measure a mix of electronic and structural dynamics\, and using our excited state Bethe-Salpeter equation approach\, we can extract everything from time-resolved electron and hole energies\, defect state occupations\, phonon and polaron modes\, and transport in multi-layer junctions. New examples include measuring a lattice’s coherent response to polaron formation and dynamic localization in superatomic crystals. Second\, we use our newly developed\, laser-driven ultrafast impedance method to investigate the ion hopping Hamiltonian of superionic conductors. Picosecond temporal and spectral correlations differentiate electron-ion\, electron-phonon\, and even potentially ion-ion interactions. Follow up transient XUV studies can then give an atomistic view of how material parameters control solid-state electrolyte and electrode performance.

SUMMARY:Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Andrei Yudin
DESCRIPTION:Yudin Flyer \nSynthetic Half-Reactions \nAbstract: This lecture will describe the concept of synthetic half-reactions and its applications towards understanding the interplay of chemical reactivity and conformational interconversions. Apart from electrochemistry\, which offers half-reaction formalism to predict reactivity\, there is no accepted system that dissects chemical transformations into simple components with the goal of matching uphill steps with cognate downhill processes. Such a system would allow one to look at organic reactivity from a different perspective\, deemphasizing the role of molecular orbitals in favor of more intuitive enthalpic arguments. Given the frequent\, although often questionable\, use of the term “driving force” in organic chemistry\, it stands to reason that such treatment of reactivity is long overdue. I will describe the origins of the theory of synthetic half-reactions and demonstrate their utility on examples from our and others’ laboratories.

SUMMARY:Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series: Rebecca J. Abergel
DESCRIPTION:Flyer: Prof. Rebecca Abergel Flyer \nTitle: Heavy elements in nature: from waste management to precision medicine \nAbstract: From the potential contamination of individuals with radioactive fission products after a nuclear accident to the therapeutic use of radioisotopes for cancer diagnostics and treatment\, the nuclear\, coordination\, and biological chemistry of actinides have become increasingly relevant to a number of applied problems. Understanding the fundamental bonding interactions of selective metal assemblies presents a rich set of scientific challenges and is critical to the characterization of f-element coordination chemistry\, and to the development of highly efficient separation reagents or new therapeutic agents. Our approach to these challenges uses a combination of biochemical and spectroscopic studies on both in vitro and in vivo systems to characterize and tune the selective binding of man-made\, f-block metal ions by natural and biomimetic ligand architectures. These studies will be discussed with a focus on emerging applications in separation\, isotope production\, and medicine.

SUMMARY:Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Brian Liau
DESCRIPTION:Liau Flyer \nUnraveling Chromatin Complexes with Small Molecules \nAbstract: The orchestrated interactions of chromatin complexes and transcription factors shape the cell’s epigenome to control gene expression and cell state. Dysregulation of these complexes and their interactions underlie human disease\, and new therapeutic approaches to modulate them by blocking or even creating interactions are transforming paradigms for drug discovery. Beyond their potential as therapeutics\, these small molecules are powerful tools to dissect the function and regulation of chromatin complexes. By combining genome-editing with chemical inhibitor profiling in an approach called CRISPR-suppressor scanning\, we describe the systematic identification of drug resistance alleles across protein targets\, including chromatin complexes. These drug resistance alleles not only confirm on-target engagement but can be used as powerful discovery tools to uncover new principles and aspects of chromatin complex biology. In this seminar\, I will describe how the application of these approaches in combination with deeper mechanistic investigation has led to unexpected biological discoveries that reshape our views on targeting chromatin modifying enzymes for therapeutics.

SUMMARY:Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series: Yulia Zaikina
DESCRIPTION:Flyer: Dr. Yulia Zaikina Flyer \nTitle: Hard-to-make solids from unconventional synthetic routes \nAbstract: Materials discovery can be accelerated by the development of synthesis methods and in-situ characterization techniques allowing for the rapid “screening” of multicomponent systems\, while theoretical predictions of new compounds’ structure and thermodynamic stability can yield the desired roadmap for the targeted synthesis. However\, the sluggish kinetics of solid-state reactions entails the necessity of high temperatures and long annealing times\, often leading to the stabilization of the thermodynamically stable products. We are interested in unconventional synthesis methods toward solid-state materials\, using reactive\, salt-like precursors. Our synthesis is guided by real-time reaction monitoring and theoretical predictions. I will show how new ternary compounds containing alkali metals (Li\, Na\, K) can be discovered using this approach. I will further discuss their structural features established by comprehensive diffraction methods\, and physical properties.

SUMMARY:Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Aaswath Raman
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Raman Flyer \nNanophotonic Control of Thermal Emission and Radiative Cooling Applications  \nAbstract: Thermal emission is a ubiquitous light emission process whose control is of central importance to a broad range of energy\, heat transfer and imaging applications. In this talk\, I will describe my group’s recent work on controlling the directional and spectral characteristics of thermal emission using nanophotonic strategies. Recent work demonstrating how infrared emissivity can be arbitrarily controlled using graded-doped III-V semiconductor films will be discussed. I will also introduce new energy and climate resilience capabilities enabled by these kinds of material capabilities\, in particular highlighting our body of work on radiative cooling for building efficiency as well as desalination applications.
