SUMMARY:Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series – Prof. Timothy Su
DESCRIPTION:Flyer: Prof. Timothy Su Flyer \nTitle: Sila-Diamondoids: Atomically Precise Clusters of Crystalline Silicon \nAbstract: 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 the 2-position of sila-adamantane is the terminal intermediate in its isomerization synthesis; we can intercept this intermediate to install halides at the 2-position. In addition\, we can tetra-substitute sila-adamantane at its bridgehead positions with the same or different functional group\, or precisely edit the skeletal structure of the adamantyl core by installing up to four Ge atom dopants at the bridgehead positions. We can extend this strategy to access\, for the first time\, the all-germanium adamantane. We have also developed radical-mediated approaches to catenate these clusters together to make supermolecules out of sila-diamondoid superatoms. As sila-adamantane represents the ultimate limit of miniaturization for nanocrystalline silicon\, these regioselective approaches allow us to probe structure-property relationships in cluster models of silicon semiconductors at an atomically exact level. To showcase this\, we show how the symmetry and dimensionality of sila-adamantane gives rise to unusual quantum interference effects in conductive single-molecule junctions studied with the scanning tunneling microscopy break-junction (STM-BJ) technique that may be controlled by chemical substitution. Finally\, we exploit this phenomenon to create single-molecule conductance switches where we can mechanically toggle between different conductive pathways through the diamondoid cluster. \n

SUMMARY:Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series – Prof. Ellen Matson
DESCRIPTION:Flyer: Prof. Ellen M. Matson Flyer \nTitle: Structure-function Relationships that Dictate Proton Coupled Electron Transfer at the Surfaces of Polyoxometalate Clusters \nAbstract: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 on molecular length scales and in the presence of small-molecule substrates. The latter is notable\, considering that redox-active metal oxides are widely used in thermal and electrochemical catalytic processes. Further advances in the effective use of metal oxides in electrochemical catalysis will require improved understanding of elementary charge-transfer reaction mechanisms. Our research team has been studying the interfacial reactivity of reducible metal oxides using atomically precise\, polyoxometalate clusters as models for extended materials. Polyoxometalates (POMs) consist of three of more redox-active transition metal oxyanions that are linked together by bridging oxide units to form three dimensional structures. These self-assembled clusters are well-positioned to provide insight into the surface chemistry of reducible metal oxides. This talk will focus on the synthesis and characterization of reduced POMs\, which have provided our research group with opportunities to investigate factors that dictate mechanisms of H-atom uptake and transfer at metal oxide surfaces. Collectively\, our studies inform our understanding of proton-dependent reactivity of metal oxide surfaces\, toward the design of materials capable of converting chemical pollutants into energy-rich fuels. \n

SUMMARY:Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series – Prof. Samanvaya Srivastava
DESCRIPTION:Flyer: Prof. Samanvaya Srivastava Flyer \nTitle: Complex Coacervate Microemulsions \nAbstract: This presentation will discuss our progress in creating stable membraneless water-water emulsions comprising complex coacervate microdroplets. Complex coacervation is a liquid-liquid phase separation phenomenon driven by the electrostatic association of oppositely charged multivalent macromolecules in water\, creating coacervate microdroplets enriched with charged moieties. These aqueous membraneless microdroplets possess numerous attributes desired in colloidal reactors and protocell models. However\, the membraneless coacervate-water interface that facilitates many of the bio(techno)logical functions of the coacervate microdroplets also promotes their coalescence\, resulting in rapid coarsening and sedimentation. We will discuss our recently discovered strategy to stabilize complex coacervate microdroplets without introducing membranous sheaths around the droplets by utilizing the assembly of anionic comb polyelectrolytes at the water(coacervate)-water interface. We will demonstrate the tunability of microdroplet size\, its months-long stability\, and its ability to withstand high ionic strength environments. Selective sequestration of charged (bio)molecules (proteins and enzymes) into the crowded environments of stabilized coacervate microdroplets will be argued to affect a significant (up to 10-fold) and sustained acceleration of enzyme-mediated bioreactions. Aided by the low cost of the constituent polymers and the simplicity of the formulations\, we will argue that the stabilized coacervate emulsions serve as efficient enzyme-encapsulants in economical\, large-scale flow bioreactors.
