Abstract: Carbocations are important reactive intermediates that are invoked in many chemical transformations. These species are usually of the tricoordinated variety. Conversely, dicoordinated carbocations are rarely relevant in practical chemical processes due to their high energy and energetically challenging formation. In this talk I will discuss our recent efforts to utilize phenyl and vinyl carbocations […]
The UCLA Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry invites all incoming first-years and transfer students to our New Undergraduate Student Welcome event on Wednesday, September 30, 2020 from 10:00 a.m.- 11:00 a.m. Students will have the opportunity to hear from faculty and current students on various topics including academics, undergraduate research, and student involvement. There will also […]
Abstract: Electrochemical nanomaterial has witnessed its extensive applications in catalysis, energy storage, and conversion. So what are the new frontiers for electrochemistry and nanomaterials? Can we discover new synergies of electrochemical nanomaterials with research disciplines that were not often considered before? Because electrochemical nanomaterials spatiotemporally transform chemical species and control their concentration profiles at a microscopic […]

Abstract: The Sletten Group works in three different areas which all encompass “fluoro” to control and detect chemistries in living systems. These include 1) fluorous nanoemulsions as versatile scaffolds for drug delivery, 2) fluoroarenes as chemical reporter groups for non-covalent bioorthogonal chemistry, and 3) fluorophores for the shortwave infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum for real-time […]
