SUMMARY:Chem 218: Understanding the Effect of Composition and Nanostructure on Magnetic and Magnetoelectric Materials - Ty Karaba
DESCRIPTION:Understanding the Effect of Composition and Nanostructure on Magnetic and Magnetoelectric Materials \nAbstract: The efficient control of magnetism at small scales is becoming increasingly important in the miniaturization and development of new technologies.  However\, conventional methods for this control become less efficient at smaller scales.  Multiferroic composites are systems in which magnetization can be varied with electric field without the flow of current.  This allows for more efficient existing devices\, and opens up new types of technologies not possible without multiferroics.  I will first discuss the development of new materials for the magnetostrictive component of these composites\, optimizing for use in a multiferroic antenna.  Using sol-gel chemistry\, we explore how material composition and film quality can affect the magnetic properties of yttrium iron garnet based materials\, with a goal of reducing high frequency losses and increasing magnetostriction.  We look at how doping heavier transition metal and lanthanide ions into yttrium iron garnet affects the static and dynamic magnetic properties using magnetometry and ferromagnetic resonance.  Second\, I will investigate how the nanoscale structure of the multiferroic composite affects the magnetoelectric coupling.  Here\, we synthesize a mesoporous cobalt ferrite matrix\, the magnetostrictive component\, the surface of which is then conformally coated with a piezoelectric via atomic layer deposition.  We then control the amount of residual porosity of the composite by varying the thickness of piezoelectric deposited.  We find that the amount of magnetoelectric coupling is enhanced with larger residual porosities\, with this porosity allowing for larger strains.  We also see that the changing the ferroelectric material can greatly enhance this coupling.  In summary\, understanding how composition and structure affect the properties of these composites is crucially important when designing new multiferroic devices.

SUMMARY:Chem 218: Lipid and Acoustic Strategies for Chemical Patterning and Gene Delivery - Jason Belling
DESCRIPTION:Lipid and Acoustic Strategies for Chemical Patterning and Gene Delivery \nSupported lipid membranes are versatile biomimetic coatings for the chemical functionalization of inorganic surfaces. Developing simple and effective fabrication strategies to form supported lipid membranes with micropatterned geometries is a long-standing challenge. We demonstrate how the combination of chemical lift-off lithography (CLL) and easily prepared lipid bicelle nanostructures can yield micropatterned\, supported lipid membranes on gold surfaces with high pattern resolution\, conformal character\, and biofunctionality. We further showed that bicelles can be used as a passivation strategy to reduce fouling in microfluidics designed for intracellular delivery. Of note\, constricted microfluidic geometries that deform cells to a fraction of their diameter have emerged as a promising technology that facilitates high-performance gene editing. Unfortunately\, these technologies are inherently limited by device lifetime due to the accumulation of cellular debris and eventual clogging. As these microfluidic technologies transition from conceptual prototypes to functional tools\, there is a need to develop next-generation platforms with high-throughput and long lifespan. Towards this goal\, we report the design and application of lipid-coated microfluidic and acoustofluidic platforms that are able to deliver plasmid rapidly and safely to model and human primary cell types. Our lipid-coated microfluidic system demonstrated a dramatic reduction in fouling\, with blocking efficiency towards nonspecific protein adsorption and cell adhesion as compared to bare polydimethylsiloxane and glass microfluidic devices. We explored the application of our lipid layer by coating constricted microfluidic channels designed for the intracellular delivery of biomolecular cargo. We observed significant reductions in the accumulation of cell debris and delivery of large dextran molecules and plasmid while retaining high viability. In parallel\, we developed an acoustofluidic method to deliver plasmids to immortalized and primary human cell types\, based on the permeabilization of cell membranes with acoustic waves and shearing against the walls of glass microcapillaries. This acoustofluidic-mediated approach achieves fast and efficient intracellular delivery of an enhanced green fluorescent protein–expressing plasmid to cells at a scalable throughput of 200\,000 cells/min in a single channel. Analyses of intracellular delivery and nuclear membrane rupture revealed mechanisms underlying acoustofluidic delivery and successful gene expression. Collectively\, our studies show that these technologies are promising platforms for gene delivery and useful tools for investigating membrane repair.

SUMMARY:Chem 218: Nanoscale vibrational spectroscopy of gold-cyanide self-assemblies: From monolayers to crystallites - Kristopher Barr
DESCRIPTION:Nanoscale vibrational spectroscopy of gold-cyanide self-assemblies: From monolayers to crystallites \nMy thesis work focuses on the integration of scanning tunneling microscopy with infrared spectroscopy\, to provide unprecedented Ångstrom-scale resolution in surface imaging with spatially correlated chemical specificity. Scanning probe techniques generally lack chemical information. Inspired by recent advances coupling optical spectroscopies with scanning probe microscopies\, I have developed a nanoscale infrared spectroscopic method applying scanning tunneling microscope probe tips as nanoantennas to obtain multiplexed molecular vibrational signals utilizing a Fourier transform interferometer at room temperature and ambient pressure. The sensitivity of the tunneling junction and nanoscale probe area enables the measurement of vibrational spectra orders of magnitude below the diffraction limit. I substantiated the effectiveness of this instrument by designing an air- and temperature-stable model system characterized by infrared absorption that couples to the electronic states of the gold substrate. Specifically\, aurous cyanide (AuCN) self-assembled monolayers satisfy these requirements with the added benefit that its IR absorption lies outside of the carbon dioxide and water windows\, thereby maintaining a high signal-to-noise ratio for these experiments. These atomically pristine hexagonal close-packed AuCN monolayers exhibit a strong absorption at 2140 cm−1. Upon thermal annealing\, the surface rearranges into a ribbon structure with a blue-shifted absorption to 2230 cm−1. The unique vibrational contrast in AuCN monolayers resulting from thermally induced structural changes serves as an ideal model system for the new infrared scanning tunneling microscope (IR-STM). Upon prolonged vapor deposition\, the self-assembled cyanide monolayers reconfigure into large-scale AuCN crystals\, giving two distinct morphologies and significantly different vibrational modes\, compared to the AuCN monolayer structures. Once again\, temperature can tune gold-cyanide orientation and long-range ordering. This work provides new insights for controlled surface-mediated crystal growth in AuCN systems. Ultimately\, combining with the chemical information gained from the developed IR-STM\, surface-mediated growth will enable new methodologies for fabricating next-generation nanoscale semiconductors. Nanoscale semiconductors based on AuCN that are similar to nanoribbon structures have been demonstrated to be useful for nanoelectronics as well as in catalytic applications.

SUMMARY:UCLA Student Organization for Cultural Diversity in Science Lectureship
DESCRIPTION:Procter&Gamble\nUCLA Student Organization for Cultural Diversity in Science Lectureship Series \n“The Catalytic\, Formal Homo-Nazarov Cyclization as a Promising Template for Diversity-Oriented Synthesis” \nAbstract.  A critical challenge in the field of organic synthesis is assembling large collections of diverse compounds for use as chemical building blocks\, biological probes\, therapeutics or organic materials.  Toward this end\, the catalytic\, formal homo-Nazarov cyclization\, an intramolecular ring-opening cyclization strategy\, represents a promising template for accessing chemical diversity. Herein\, several derivations of these cyclization strategies to distinct molecular skeletons will be discussed.  These strategies will highlight chemical modularity and versatility along a “mix-and-match” approach to access broader chemical space. Finally\, specific applications of the methods toward the synthesis of biologically-relevant molecules and natural products will be showcased.

SUMMARY:Computational Investigations of Organic Reactions on Graphene\, Fullerenes and Carbon Nanotubes
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In the past thirty years\, carbon-based nanomaterials\, including fullerenes\, carbon nanotubes and graphene\, have spurred great interest due to their unique physical and chemical properties. Fullerenes and carbon nanotubes have been well studied\, while studies of graphene\, a relatively new material\, are less advanced. A variety of chemical modification strategies have been successfully established on fullerenes and carbon nanotubes\, and important functional changes have been demonstrated. Some attempts have been made to transfer these chemical modifications onto more inert graphene\, yet very few give satisfactory results. I will describe density functional theory calculations to study one of the functionalization approaches\, cycloaddition reactions\, on carbon allotropes\, especially graphene. Ideally graphene is composed solely of sp2 carbons in extended conjugation. These extended π systems can function either as 2π or 4π components in cycloaddition reactions. We have explored 1\,3-dipolar cycloadditions\, Diels-Alder reactions\, (2+2) cycloadditions\, (4+4) cycloadditions and (1+2) cycloadditions on a series of graphene models. We also assessed non-covalent interactions of aromatics and small π system with graphene. Our work provides clear predictions of the energetics of the adduct formation on different sites of graphene\, increasing understanding of graphene chemistry and guiding experiments carried out by collaborators.

SUMMARY:Special Organic Seminar: "Challenges in Regiocontrol of Benzyne Reactions"
DESCRIPTION:Special Organic Seminar \n“Challenges in Regiocontrol of Benzyne Reactions” \nAbstract.  Benzyne (= ortho-Benzyne) is one of the most important reactive intermediates bearing a triple bond in a benzene ring. Numerous benzyne reactions have been developed during the last three decades while a mild benzyne generation using a fluoride ion has been recognized as an extraordinary useful method. However\, it is also true that chemists have suffered from low regioselectivities of unsymmetrically substituted benzynes. Therefore\, specific directing groups that have a strong effect on controlling the orientation of the cycloaddition reactions and also can be converted into any other substituents after the cycloaddition have been long desired. In this seminar\, I would like to present some of our recent work on regioselectivity control of benzyne reactions using substituent effect of silyl and boryl groups. The origin of regiochemistry would be theoretically explained by DFT (density functional theory) calculation at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level and NBO (Natural Bond Orbital) analysis.
