Flyer: Yessica Nelson Student Exit Talk Flyer Title: Tailoring Boron Clusters: The Impact of Vertex-Differentiated closo-Dodecaborates in Emerging Applications Abstract: My presentation will highlight recent advancements in the vertex-precise manipulation of polyhedral boron clusters. Specifically, our work centers on developing methods to selectively functionalize the ²⁻ cluster, a quintessential three-dimensional aromatic boron-based system, with high precision […]

Flyer: Prof. Samanvaya Srivastava Flyer Title: Complex Coacervate Microemulsions Abstract: 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 […]

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 […]
