Flyer:Prof. Alex Zhukhovitskiy Flyer Title: Advancing Inorganic Methods for Polymer Synthesis, Modification, and Degradation Abstract: The polymer backbone is fundamental to the polymer’s identity and properties. My seminar will focus on the development of metathesis mechanisms to access heteroatom-rich polymer backbones, new editing tools to transform existing polymer backbones into different ones, and both strategies […]
Advances In the Synthesis And Application Of Strained-Ring Compounds: Catalytic & Stoichiometric Approaches Abstract: "The synthesis of highly substituted and strained nitrogenous molecules remains a challenging task since installing substituents on small ring systems gets increasingly difficult as the degree of substitution increases. Similarly, it is difficult to install nitrogen bridges onto highly substituted and […]

Flyer: Prof. Lane Baker Flyer Title: Expanding the Electrochemical Toolbox: A Story in Two Parts Abstract: Advances in electrochemistry, and in particular electroanalytical chemistry, are driven by advances in tools and methods to perform electrochemical measurements. In this talk, I will present two vignettes into very different tools we have developed recently for electrochemical measurements. […]
Reimagining Ancient Reactions for the 21st Century Abstract: The ability to prepare highly functionalized molecules in general and predictable ways is central to modern drug design and discovering new treatments for human disease. The aim of our program is to create new methods to solve the longstanding synthetic challenge of asymmetrically constructing biologically active small […]
