  • Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Vanessa Huxter

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

    Prof Huxter Flyer Title: Photophysics of Photocatalytic and Radical Systems Abstract:   Photoredox catalysis has enabled researchers to overcome previously intractable problems in organic synthesis. The use of light to drive catalysis has allowed for more selective reactions that generate both simple and complex molecules from renewable and economical starting materials under mild conditions. The dynamics […]

  • NSF Center for Integrated Catalysis Green Chemistry Seminar Series: Stafford Sheehan

    Virtual Event

    Flyer: Dr. Stafford Sheehan Flyer Title: Carbon Dioxide Utilization for Sustainable Aviation Fuel at Air Company Abstract: Power-to-liquid (PtL) technologies must be deployed at world-scale to sustainably produce energy-dense liquid fuels in the quantities needed to replace fossil fuels in hard-to-decarbonize industries. Legacy PtL pathways rely on multi-step approaches to first produce carbon monoxide, then […]

  • Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series: Ted Betley

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

    Flyer: Prof. Ted Betley Flyer Title: Trapping radical intermediates, walking the fine line between stabilization and provocation Abstract: Our group is interested in how electronic structure makeup directly links to reactivity in inorganic complexes. We explore new means for stabilizing radicaloid ligands to drive new reaction processes. We examine how weak field platforms enable radical […]

  • NSF Center for Integrated Catalysis Webinar Series: Matthew Conley

    Virtual Event

    Flyer: Prof. Matthew Conley Flyer Title: An Organometallic Perspective on Surface Functionalization Abstract: Generation of catalytically active sites on “inert” oxide supports is a robust methodology used by chemical industry togenerate heterogeneous catalysts that mediate most large-scale chemical processes. One of the most important, yetprosaic, features of some heterogeneous catalysts is the inability of active […]

  • Biochemistry Seminar Series – Prof. Francesca M. Marassi

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

    Francesca Marassi Flyer (1) Title: Calcification of protein-lipid assemblies in macular degeneration: Insights from NMR Abstract: The ectopic deposits that form in age-related diseases, like macular degeneration, are rich in lipids and proteins involved in innate immunity, and this has been proposed to reflect an immune response to yet unidentified stress cues. Biomolecular NMR spectroscopy, […]

  • NSF Center for Integrated Catalysis Careers in Green Chemistry Seminar Series: Selma Duhović

    Virtual Event

    Flyer: Dr. Selma Duhović Flyer Title: At the Nexus of Science, Business, and Finance Abstract: This webinar will tell the story of a slightly unconventional career path taken by Dr. Selma Duhović (Diaconescu Group, 2012). Dr. Duhovic will describe the choices she made, the opportunities she seized (and missed), the challenges she faced, and the […]

  • Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Daniel T. Gryko

    Mol Sci 3440 607 Charles E. Young Dr., East, Los Angeles, CA, United States

    1,4-Dihydropyrrolopyrrole and Dipyrrolonaphthyridinedione – Novel Building Blocks for Optoelectronics Abstract: Recently we have discovered and optimized the first practical synthesis of non-fused pyrrolepyrroles via domino reaction of aldehydes, primary amines, and butane-2,3-dione.1 Six bonds are formed in heretofore unknown tandem process, which gives rise to substituted pyrrolepyrroles – the ‘missing link’ on the map of […]

  • Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Dugan Hayes

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

    Hayes Flyer Time-resolved Spectroscopic Tools for Mechanistic Studies of Organic and Inorganic Photochemistry Abstract: Ultrafast optical spectroscopies are powerful tools for characterizing electronic excited state dynamics in homogeneous photochemistry. When the system of interest contains a transition metal, we may also take advantage of the element specificity of X-ray spectroscopies to provide complementary information. I […]
