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 […]
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 […]
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, […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Flyer: TBD Title: TBD Abstract: TBD
Flyer: Prof. Lior Sepunaru Flyer Title: From molecular electrocatalysis to electro-assembly Abstract: When we think about electrochemistry, we mostly think about batteries. However, electrochemistry has been experiencing a renaissance in many other subdisciplines of chemistry in the last few years. In this talk, I will introduce the concept of nanoelectrochemistry and how it is used […]
Flyer: Prof. Keith Keitz Flyer Title: Expanding Cellular Metabolism through Extracellular Electron Transfer Abstract: Qualities exhibited by living systems, including self-regulation, self-healing, morphology control, and environmental responsiveness, are highly attractive from a material design perspective. However, biological materials including biofilms and tissues are generally less robust and more difficult to engineer than synthetic materials. Bridging […]
