Flyer: Prof. C. Michael McGuirk Flyer Title: Exploring Flexibility and Connectivity in Synthetic Porous Frameworks Abstract: Synthetic permanently porous materials are poised to play a key role in our transition to a more sustainable society. Owing to their structural and chemical modularity, synthetic frameworks, such as metal–organic, covalent, and hydrogen-bonded networks, are uniquely amenable to […]
Prof. David Limmer Flyer Talk Title: Exciton polarons in lead halide perovskites Abstract: In this talk, I will review some of our recent work concerning the photophysics of the lead halide perovskites. In particular, I will discuss how their soft, polar lattices endow quasiparticle excitations like, polarons and excitons, with a number of anomalous properties. […]
Flyer: Prof. Wenliang Huang Flyer Title: F-Block Metal–Arene Interaction: Dual Reactivity of Metal and Arene Abstract: The unique metal–arene interactions motivated the advancement of chemical bond theory, and enabled a wide range of applications in synthesis and catalysis. In addition, ligand designs incorporating metal–arene interaction led to breakthroughs in stabilizing unusual oxidation states, and empowering […]
Hernandez Seminar Flyer 3D-Networked Nanoparticles for Autonomous Computing Abstract: Over the last decade, it has become clear that conventional VLSI is reaching key scaling limits. Moreover, the energy efficiency of human-engineered electronic devices is many orders of magnitude lower as compared to biological computational structures. Such inefficiencies, for example, severely limit our ability to […]
Flyer: Prof. Robert Comito Flyer Title: Bimetallic Main-Group Catalysts for the Synthesis of Advanced Biodegradable Polymers Abstract: Aliphatic polyesters are biodegradable and biocompatible materials that could replace polyolefins in many applications. However, their synthesis with fine structural control remains challenging, limiting the ability to tailor these materials for specialty and advanced applications. Our laboratory has […]
Flyer: Dr. Alec Follmer Flyer Title: Controlling C-H Bond Activation: Structural and Dynamic Regulation of Reactive Intermediates in Cytochrome P450 Catalysis Abstract: From metabolism and detoxification to the biosynthesis of steroids and natural products, cytochromes P450 (P450s) are heme-containing enzymes that utilize O2 for the activation of C–H bonds and serve ubiquitous roles in nearly […]
