Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Prof. Joel Smith

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

Smith Flyer Title: Dearomative Alkaloid Synthesis Abstract: Biologically active alkaloids continue to serve as a means of biomedical discovery in addition to serving as forcing functions for the invention of new chemical transformations. Structurally, many of these natural products and rationally designed drugs also contain one or more piperidine rings, making it the most common […]

Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Franz Geiger

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

Geiger Flyer Title: Photonic Electrochemistry Abstract: Water's oxygen is the electron source in the industrially important oxygen evolution reaction, but how water interacts with an electrode remains enigmatic. While much microscopic insight into the Stern layer comes from atomistic simulations or joint theory-experiment approaches, water's strong absorber problem has clouded our view of how water […]

Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series: Elizabeth Young

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

Flyer: Prof. Elizabeth Young Flyer Title: From Photodynamic Therapy to Photovoltaics: Photophysics of Pd(II)biladiene and Charge Carrier Dynamics in Thin Films of Light Harvesting Sb2S3 Abstract: Solar light harvesting and interconversion of solar energy into either electricity or driving force for small molecule activation reactions are critical to the production of energy and other processes […]

Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Prof. Abby Knight

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

Knight Flyer Title: Biomimetic Hierarchical Structure in Synthetic Macromolecules Abstract: The remarkable functions of proteins, from refined binding profiles to efficient catalysis, are currently unrivaled by synthetic macromolecules due to complex hierarchical structure in natural systems. Inspired by this grand challenge, the Knight group is at the interface of chemical biology and polymer science, developing […]

Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Lisa Fredin

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

Fredin Flyer Title: Modeling Photoactive Organic Materials Abstract: Chemical intuition is well developed for single molecules but the extent to which disorder in solid state molecular materials contributes to their properties is poorly understood. In particular, molecular materials move charges in some directions much more efficiently than others due to the packing of the molecules. […]

Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series: Phillip J. Milner

Collaboratory Yoo Seminar & Conference Hall YH4222 

Flyer:Prof. Phillip Milner Flyer Title: "Simplifying Synthesis at the Interface of Organic and Materials Chemistry" Abstract: Porous framework materials, including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), are highly tunable materials with myriad potential applications ranging from chemical separations to gas storage to catalysis. This is due to the unusual local environment offered by their pores. Herein we will […]

Distinguished Lecture Series: Prof. David Christianson

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

Title: Directing Biosynthesis with Modular Architecture in Terpene Cyclases Abstract: Terpene cyclases catalyze the most complex chemical reactions in biology, in that more than half of the carbon atoms in an isoprenoid substrate undergo changes in bonding or hybridization during a multi-step cyclization cascade that proceeds through multiple carbocation intermediates. Although the substrate pool for […]
