Flyer: Prof. Samanvaya Srivastava Flyer Title: Complex Coacervate Microemulsions Abstract: This presentation will discuss our progress in creating stable membraneless water-water emulsions comprising complex coacervate microdroplets. Complex coacervation is a liquid-liquid phase separation phenomenon driven by the electrostatic association of oppositely charged multivalent macromolecules in water, creating coacervate microdroplets enriched with charged moieties. These aqueous […]

Flyer: Prof. Ellen M. Matson Flyer Title: Structure-function Relationships that Dictate Proton Coupled Electron Transfer at the Surfaces of Polyoxometalate Clusters Abstract:While the dynamics of proton- and electron-transfer at metal oxides have been studied extensively in the field of electrochemical energy storage, researchers have only very recently begun to understand how these process play out […]

Flyer: Prof. Timothy Su Flyer Title: Sila-Diamondoids: Atomically Precise Clusters of Crystalline Silicon Abstract: This talk will describe the synthesis, derivatization, and quantum transport properties of silicon diamondoids—atomically precise clusters of crystalline silicon. First, we describe strategies for the functionalization of the fundamental silicon diamondoid cluster, sila-adamantane. Mechanistic insights support that an aluminate-stabilized silylium at […]
