SUMMARY:Spatiotemporal Control of Chemistry and Biology Enabled by Electrochemistry and Nanomaterials
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Electrochemical nanomaterial has witnessed its extensive applications in catalysis\, energy storage\, and conversion. So what are the new frontiers for electrochemistry and nanomaterials? Can we discover new synergies of electrochemical nanomaterials with research disciplines that were not often considered before? Because electrochemical nanomaterials spatiotemporally transform chemical species and control their concentration profiles at a microscopic scale\, we envision electrochemistry at nanoscale a viable tool to transduce electronic signals into non-equilibrium systems with spatiotemporal gradients of free energy µ(t\,r) and entropy S(t\,r). This talk will offer the research demonstrated so far in the Liu group that includes the spatiotemporal control in chemical catalysis and microbiology\, given the ubiquity of non-equilibrium systems in chemistry and biology.

SUMMARY:Twists and turns along the path of reactivity-driven methods development
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nCarbocations are important reactive intermediates that are invoked in many chemical transformations. These species are usually of the tricoordinated variety. Conversely\, dicoordinated carbocations are rarely relevant in practical chemical processes due to their high energy and energetically challenging formation. In this talk I will discuss our recent efforts to utilize phenyl and vinyl carbocations in C–H functionalization reactions. We will describe how these high-energy dicoordinated carbocations can be generated under mild conditions and utilized in selective C–C bond forming reactions. Moreover\, we will discuss our efforts to understand the mechanism of these reactions through computational chemistry\, kinetics\, electron microscopy\, and isotopic labeling studies.

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.
