Physical Chemistry Seminar: Dr. Daniel Straus, Princeton University
Structural Surprises in Inorganic and Molecular Materials Even in some of the most heavily studied materials, a careful structural analysis can solve stubborn mysteries. The first part of my talk focuses on cesium lead iodide (CsPbI3), an inorganic halide perovskite of interest for solar energy conversion that is unstable at room temperature. I use X-ray […]
New Base-Promoted Reductive and Oxidative Coupling Reactions
Abstract: Base-catalyzed reactions typically accomplish redox neutral transformations, such as the addition of pronucleophiles to electrophiles. Our group is developing mechanistic platforms for base-promoted reductive and oxidative coupling reactions to expand the capabilities of basic chemistry. This talk will discuss the development and synthetic potential of these processes in the context of two methodologies. This […]

"Identifying and decoding the function of the post-translational modifications arginine methylation and phosphorylation with proteomics"
Dr. Vida Jamali – Postdoctoral Researcher, Alivisatos lab, University of California Berkeley
Imaging, Learning, and Engineering of Soft Matter Systems at the Nanoscale The motion and dynamics of nanoparticles and macromolecules in bulk and at interfaces is of fundamental importance in physics, chemistry, and biology. Liquid phase transmission electron microscopy (LPTEM) is an emerging technique which enables nanoscale visualization of the motion and dynamics of single nanoparticles […]

Strategic Bond Construction and Cleavage Enabled by Photocatalytic Radical Transformations
Abstract: Radical chemistry is an important class of reactions in modern organic synthesis, due to the high reactivity and versatile bond formation and cleavage events that can happen with radical intermediates. One of the current challenges in radical chemistry is to generate these reactive open-shell intermediates from accessible starting materials under mild conditions. We have […]

"Macroscopic Materials from Nanoparticle Assembly"
James Gaynor, Postdoc Fellow, University of California, Berkeley Seminar
Stories of Coherence: From Vibronic to Electronic Phenomena A robust understanding of chemical reactivity in excited states is essential for designing and discovering new ways of harnessing energy flow at the atomic and molecular level. Photo-induced coherent processes, which utilize atomic or molecular motions moving with a well-defined phase relationship, may enhance control over important […]
Battery-Inspired Strategies for Electrocatalytic C–C and C–N Bond-Forming Reactions
Abstract: The seminar will describe our efforts towards the development of scalable, mild, and general electrosynthetic methodologies for C–C and C–N/X coupling reactions. These electrosynthetic methodologies are largely possible because of a synergy between redox-active mediators developed by the energy storage community and transition metal catalysts. It will be shown that yields from electrocatalytic reactions […]
