Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Evgeny Pidko

Mani L. Bhaumik Centennial Collaboratory 607 Charles E. Young Dr., East, Los Angeles, CA

Pidko Flyer Title: Death and Life of Homogeneous Carbonyl Reduction Catalysts: Navigating Condition Space Towards Superior Catalytic Performance Abstract: Catalytic hydrogenation chemistry offers a greener and more sustainable alternative to prevalent stoichiometric reduction methodologies in the production of high-value chemicals. In recent years, traditional Ru and Ir catalysts have been complemented by novel first-row transition […]

Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series: Brandon Jolly and Yi Chen

Collaboratory Yoo Seminar & Conference Hall YH4222 

Flyer: Brandon Jolly and Yi Chen Flyer Speaker: Brandon Jolly Title: Spatial Control in Multi-step, Multi-catalyst Organometallic Processes Abstract: Spatial localization is one method in which biology manages its complex network of multi-step and/or multi-catalyst processes. For example, encapsulation of enzymes via compartmentalization allows for the efficient generation and utilization of intermediate species along a […]

Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Mitchio Okumura

Mani L. Bhaumik Centennial Collaboratory 607 Charles E. Young Dr., East, Los Angeles, CA

Okumura Flyer Title: Combs and Mirrors: Spectroscopic Studies of Radical Reactions Important in Air and Space Abstract: Trace gas phase free radicals play a central role in the chemistry of Earth and planetary atmospheres, as well as the interstellar medium. Laboratory studies of their spectroscopy, reaction dynamics and kinetics are important for accurate modeling of […]

Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series: Timothy Johnstone

Collaboratory Yoo Seminar & Conference Hall YH4222 

Prof. Timothy Johnstone Flyer Title:“Synthesis, Isolation, and Exploration of the Chemistry of Kinetically-Stabilized Pnictine Oxides” Abstract: The light pnictine oxides R 3 NO, R 3 PO, and R 3 AsO comprise a well-characterized class of monomeric molecules with a tetrahedral geometry about the pnictogen center. In contrast, the preparation of the corresponding Sb and Bi […]

Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Steven D. Townsend

Mani L. Bhaumik Centennial Collaboratory 607 Charles E. Young Dr., East, Los Angeles, CA

Townsend Flyer Title: Preventing Premature Birth and Breaking Strong Bonds with Carbohydrates Abstract: Abstract: Carbohydrates are the most abundant organic molecules on earth and are critical to a myriad of biological processes. The Vanderbilt Laboratory for Glycoscience uses a blend of synthetic organic chemistry and microbiology to elucidate the biological roles of carbohydrates, with a […]

Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Rodrigo Noriega

Mani L. Bhaumik Centennial Collaboratory 607 Charles E. Young Dr., East, Los Angeles, CA

Noriega Flyer Title: Study and Regulation of Biomolecular Interactions at Electrified Interfaces Abstract: We seek to understand the role of electrostatic interactions in molecular recognition mechanisms that are sensitive to structure but not sequence. An interesting model system for these multifaceted interactions is Loquacious-PD (Loqs-PD), a co-factor protein with two RNA binding motifs that recognize […]

Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series: Professor Yong Yan

Collaboratory Yoo Seminar & Conference Hall YH4222 

Flyer: Prof. Yong Yan Flyer Title: "Perovskite Semiconductors For Photocatalytic Organic Synthesis" Abstract: Heterogeneous catalysis is responsible for the vast majority of chemical transformations, yet the direct employment of chiral solid catalysts for asymmetric synthesis is mostly overlooked. Our lab proved that photophysical properties of lead halide perovskites already proved for photovoltaics, also should be […]
