• NSF Center for Integrated Catalysis Careers in Green Chemistry Seminar Series: Selma Duhović

    Virtual Event

    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 […]

  • Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Dugan Hayes

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

    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 […]

  • Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series: Lior Sepunaru

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

    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 […]

  • Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series: Keith Keitz

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

    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 […]

  • Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Prineha Narang

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

    Narang Flyer Predicting Electron Hydrodynamics and Signatures of Unconventional Transport Abstract: The re-invigorated field of electron hydrodynamics in quantum matter has recently garnered considerable scientific interest, both due to its technological promise of designing near dissipation-less nanoelectronics, as well as its fundamental importance as an experimental probe of strong electron-electron interactions. Investigating the capacity to […]

  • Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Yiming Wang

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

    Wang Flyer Cationic Late Transition Metal Complexes for Selective α-C–H Functionalization Abstract: We describe the discovery and development of catalytic α-C–H functionalization reactions of simple unsaturated hydrocarbons, including alkynes, alkenes, and allenes, using cationic cyclopentadienyliron(II) dicarbonyl complexes. These complexes enable the development of a new mode of catalytic C–H functionalization in which metal coordination to […]
