CIC Careers in Green Chemistry Seminar Series
The Center for Integrated Catalysis is hosting a new seminar series called the "Careers in Green Chemistry." With these webinars, we aim to bring speakers from a wide variety of careers, linked through green chemistry, to come talk about their current job as well as the career path that led them to that position. We are pleased […]

"Relativity throughout the periodic table: scalar relativity, spin-orbit, and spin-vibronic interactions"
Chem 278: Dr. Samantha Yruegas
“Hydrocarbon Upgrading with Boron and Earth-Abundant Metals” Abstract: The products of fossil fuels, specifically hydrocarbons, are ubiquitous in our daily lives, making up everyday objects from the plastic container that holds your lunch to the fuel that enables us to interconnect the globe. These products are at the core of our modern society, however the […]
Understanding and Exploiting Redox in Conjugated Polymers: From Improved Polymer Conductivity, to Photoinduced Charge Transfer, to Next Generation Polymer Binders for Lithium Ion Batteries
Semiconducting polymer have the potential to be use in an exciting array of devices, but their intrinsic conductivity is low due to their large band gaps. Chemically doping conjugated polymers is an effective way to increase conductivity and involves introducing treating the polymer with a strong electron acceptor or donor that can undergo charge transfer […]

"Biomedical Imaging beyond the Visible - Fluorescence Imaging in the Shortwave-Infrared"
Chem 278: Dr. Allegra Aron
“Finding Metal-Binding Molecules: Native Electrospray-based Metabolomics” Abstract: Metals are required for life, and microbes have evolved a number of small molecules to compete for, acquire, and utilize metals. Metal-binding compounds are important in a number of fields – these compounds can alter the growth of the microbial communities, enhance plant yields, control harmful pathogens, deliver […]
Boehringer-Ingelheim Seminar: Catalysis Innovation in Chemical Development: Effective Applications to BI Projects
Abstract: Catalysis has become an indispensable, frequently applied tool for devising convergent, innovative, asymmetric and economical synthesis of APIs in the pharmaceutical industry. BI-Catalysis group, established in Ridgefield in 2008, contributed to the development of novel processes in many BI projects at all stages of research and development through close collaboration with all BI sites. […]
Boehringer-Ingelheim Seminar: New Developments in Electrochemical Synthesis
Abstract: Owing to its many distinct characteristics, electrochemistry represents an attractive approach to discovering new reactions and meeting the prevailing trends in organic synthesis. In particular, electrocatalysis—a process that integrates electrochemistry and small-molecule catalysis—has the potential to substantially improve the scope of synthetic electrochemistry and provide a wide range of useful transformations. Despite its attractive […]
