SUMMARY:Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Art Bragg
DESCRIPTION:Bragg Flyer \nStructure-tuned Exciton Dynamics in Peptide and Electrolyte-scaffolded Molecular Assemblies \nAbstract: Electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonding present means for driving supramolecular assembly of organic chromophores in aqueous environments and controlling the microstructures of resultant assemblies for light-harvesting applications.  We present our recent studies of the microstructure-dependence of exciton migration and electron transfer in two classes of supramolecular assemblies:  1) complexes of conjugated polyelectrolytes with electrolytic small-molecule electron acceptors; 2) assemblies of peptide-functionalized perylene diimide.  For the former\, we have determined that acceptor:donor stoichiometry and compatible head-group separations in donors and acceptors can be used to control the dominant exciton coupling of a polythiophene donor\, with significant impacts on potential for long-range charge separation and recombination.  For the later\, we demonstrate control of energy transfer by using peptide interactions to control exchange interactions of neighboring sites and thereby tune the exciton diffusion constant along molecular stacks.  We discuss potential uses of peptide-driven assembly to control inter-chromophore interactions.

SUMMARY:Special Seminar: Research in Chemical Education and STEM Pedagogy: Mr. Song Wang
DESCRIPTION:Flyer: Mr. Song Wang Flyer \nTitle: A post-structural analysis of student learning with an augmented reality molecular visualization tool in an undergraduate chemistry course \nAbstract: External representations provide an important space of learning and medium for communicating about molecular structure and function in the chemical sciences. As affordable visualization tools continue to advance\, there has been increasing interest to utilize novel technologies\, such as augmented reality (AR)\, in the development of new molecular visualization tools. However\, existing research on these visual-spatial learning tools often assumes the meaning of external representations as inherent and focuses primarily on student performance and competence\, with less attention towards how external representations take on situated meaning and potential inequity in how students participate in classroom activities that involve molecular visualization tools. In this talk\, I will describe a post-structural approach to investigate student learning with external representations that aims to address the representational practices through which external representations become increasingly meaningful and the fluid and multifaceted situations of (in)equity in an AR-mediated biochemistry group learning activity. The analysis centers around BioChemAR\, a mobile application that utilizes AR technology to create protein models for student learning. Data sources include audio and video recordings of undergraduate biochemistry students engaging with AR protein models in classroom and interview settings. Pairing qualitative analysis with quantitative metrics\, I will present a complex and nuanced story of how students learn with new forms of external representations that utilize AR technology. Findings highlight how external representations become increasingly meaningful through the (re)configuration of the material\, discursive\, and semiotic aspects of representational practices in chemistry and provide unique ways of conceptualizing equity and inequity in chemistry learning settings.

SUMMARY:Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series: Konstantin Bukhryakov
DESCRIPTION:Flyer: Prof. Konstantin Bukhryakov Flyer \nTitle: Vanadium Alkylidenes for Olefin Metathesis \nAbstract: Olefin metathesis is a widely used synthetic method for the synthesis of chemicals employed in daily life\, including plastics\, household chemicals\, agrochemicals\, and high-grade fuels\, including biofuels from renewable\, sustainable feedstock. The current production of fine and commodity chemicals involving olefin metathesis exclusively relies on catalysts based on second- and third-row transition metals\, such as Mo\, Ru\, W\, and Re. The use of Earth-abundant first-row metal\, such as V\, will have a broad impact on society by providing less expensive and greener alternatives for existing methods. This\, in turn\, will make essential chemicals more accessible to consumers and decrease the human environmental footprint. Sustainability\, low cost\, and environmental preservation are essential but not the only driving force of our research. Thus\, V-based catalysts can offer a unique reactivity compared to second-and third-row counterparts. In my talk\, I will give an overview of our recent progress in developing V catalysts for olefin metathesis.

SUMMARY:Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Hung-Wen Liu
DESCRIPTION:Liu Flyer \nAtypical Reactions in the Biosynthesis of Herbicidins \nAbstract: Herbicidins are adenosine-derived nucleoside antibiotics with an unusual tricyclic core structure. Deletion of the genes responsible for formation of the tricyclic skeleton in Streptomyces sp. L-9-10 reveals the in vivo importance of Her4\, Her5 and Her6 during the early stages of herbicidin biosynthesis. In vitro characterization of Her4 and Her5 demonstrates their involvement in an initial\, two stage C–C coupling reaction that results in net C5′-glycosylation of ADP/ATP by UDP/TDP-glucuronic acid. Biochemical analyses and intermediate trapping experiments imply a non-canonical mechanism of C-glycosylation reminiscent of NAD-dependent S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase. Structural characterization of the isolated metabolites suggested possible reactions catalyzed by Her6 and Her7\, and subsequent biochemical experiments confirmed the functions of Her6 and Her7 as the C3’ epimerase and C8’ reductase\, respectively. An overall herbicidin biosynthetic pathway is thus established based on these observations.

SUMMARY:Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Raphaele Clement
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Clement Flyer \nLinking Synthesis\, Composition\, and Performance in Li-ion and Na-ion Battery Materials Using Magnetic Resonance Tools \nAbstract: Batteries have transformed our daily lives and hold the key to a low carbon future. Yet\, current Li-ion chemistries are approaching their theoretical performance limit. Remarkably\, we continue to rely on a limited subset of Li-ion battery materials –– most commercial cathodes derive from LiCoO2 developed in 1980 –– that cannot meet our ever-growing need for energy storage. The development of more sustainable\, energy dense\, and/or safer batteries hinges on designing new cathode chemistries and crystal structures that depart from the traditional layered transition metal oxides\, as well as non flammable solid electrolytes. \nIn this talk\, I will present our recent work combining solid-state NMR\, first principles simulations\, and other advanced tools to relate synthesis\, structure\, and properties in various classes of battery materials. For example\, our work on Li-ion rocksalt oxyfluoride cathodes emphasizes the importance of 7Li/19F solid-state NMR to determine the true composition of such systems and establish robust materials design rules\, and introduces a new\, rapid and energy-efficient synthesis procedure to obtain those materials. Our work on Li- and Na-ion conducting rocksalt halide electrolytes reveals their high propensity for polymorphism and for the formation of planar defects\, with resulting structural and ion conduction properties that can be modulated by changing the synthesis conditions.

SUMMARY:Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series: Quentin Michaudel
DESCRIPTION:Flyer: Prof. Quentin Michaudel Flyer \nTitle: Modern Organic Reactions for Precise (Macro)molecular Synthesis \nAbstract: Progress in healthcare\, clean energy\, and sustainable materials is driven by the synthesis of molecules of ever-increasing complexity. Research in the Michaudel group centers on the invention of polymerization methods that allow for precise control over macromolecular architecture (i.e.\, monomer composition\, molecular weight distribution\, stereochemistry) as a means to tailor the properties\, function\, and recyclability of soft materials. In parallel\, my group develops approaches to the functionalization of fine chemicals\, including bioactive and drug-like molecules. Our projects are grounded in fundamental mechanistic considerations with an aim to develop synthetic tools applicable to small organic compounds and macromolecules alike. This presentation will cover our recent work in SuFEx click reactions\, stereoselective olefin metathesis\, and heterocyclic aryne chemistry.

SUMMARY:Special Seminar: Research in Chemical Education and STEM Pedagogy: Dr. Jennifer Casey
DESCRIPTION:Flyer: Dr. Jennifer Casey Flyer \nTitle: Implementing Effective and Inclusive Group Work in the STEM Classroom \nAbstract: Students learn more and earn higher grades in student-centered\, collaborative instruction than in lecture-based instruction. Research also suggests that group work may improve equity in course outcomes. Given the many documented benefits of collaborative learning\, instructors have good reason to integrate group work into their classrooms\, however\, incorporating this form of active learning in large classroom settings can be difficult. Additionally\, a critical aspect is being overlooked – is incorporating group work enough\, or are specific aspects of implementation required in order to achieve a desired outcome? While the literature contains many recommendations for high-impact practices\, my work focuses on investigating which features are critical for obtaining an intended outcome\, as well as determining who truly benefits from these interventions. In this seminar\, we will specifically focus on the impact of group work on student engagement in remote chemistry classrooms\, as well as the effect group work has on student sense of belonging across multiple STEM disciplines. The picture that emerges is one that underscores the importance of having thoughtful and deliberate integration of group work into a course – preliminary data suggests having students simply work in groups is insufficient to see improved student outcomes. Depending on the overall goal an instructor is hoping to achieve\, they may need to focus on different elements of supportive group work. Furthermore\, it is important that we confirm whether the practices we are using are having the desired impact given the effort required to implement structured group work\, especially in high-enrollment courses.

SUMMARY:Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series: Jerome Robinson
DESCRIPTION:Flyer: Prof. Jerome Robinson Flyer \nTitle: Catalyst RE-Design: Dynamic\, Reactive\, and Selective Systems for Oxygenated (Co)Polymer Synthesis \nAbstract: Polymer waste has quickly become one of our society’s largest looming environmental concerns\, where an estimated 4.9 GTons of polymer waste currently exist in the environment. Central to addressing this challenge is the generation of polymers with robust materials properties that also embed or encode end-of-use. Oxygenated (co)polymers such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are naturally occurring and fully bioresorbable polymers with promising properties\, yet their efficient and cost-effective stereospecific synthesis remains challenging. In this talk\, I will share some of our group’s recent advances in catalyst development for the synthesis of oxygenated (co)polymers. Specifically\, we’ll discuss new catalyst design strategies which fully leverage the unique properties of the rare-earth elements (group III and the lanthanides) to generate systems which are highly dynamic\, reactive\, and selective.

SUMMARY:Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Joshua Kritzer
DESCRIPTION:Kritzer Flyer \nDesigning Stapled Peptides that Control Autophagy \nAbstract: Autophagy is a cellular recycling process important for health and disease\, and a major focus for new types of targeted protein degradation. The Kritzer Lab has used structure-based design to develop stapled peptides that bind the critical autophagy proteins LC3B and GABARAP with nanomolar affinities. Small changes in staple structure produced ligands with very different binding modes\, leading to differences in paralog selectivity. The stapled peptides exhibited considerable cytosolic penetration and resistance to biological degradation. They also reduced autophagic flux in cultured ovarian cancer cells and sensitized ovarian cancer cells to cisplatin. These small\, potent stapled peptides represent promising autophagy-modulating compounds that can be developed as novel cancer therapeutics and novel mediators of targeted protein degradation.

SUMMARY:Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Aaswath Raman
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Raman Flyer \nNanophotonic Control of Thermal Emission and Radiative Cooling Applications  \nAbstract: Thermal emission is a ubiquitous light emission process whose control is of central importance to a broad range of energy\, heat transfer and imaging applications. In this talk\, I will describe my group’s recent work on controlling the directional and spectral characteristics of thermal emission using nanophotonic strategies. Recent work demonstrating how infrared emissivity can be arbitrarily controlled using graded-doped III-V semiconductor films will be discussed. I will also introduce new energy and climate resilience capabilities enabled by these kinds of material capabilities\, in particular highlighting our body of work on radiative cooling for building efficiency as well as desalination applications.

SUMMARY:Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series: Yulia Zaikina
DESCRIPTION:Flyer: Dr. Yulia Zaikina Flyer \nTitle: Hard-to-make solids from unconventional synthetic routes \nAbstract: Materials discovery can be accelerated by the development of synthesis methods and in-situ characterization techniques allowing for the rapid “screening” of multicomponent systems\, while theoretical predictions of new compounds’ structure and thermodynamic stability can yield the desired roadmap for the targeted synthesis. However\, the sluggish kinetics of solid-state reactions entails the necessity of high temperatures and long annealing times\, often leading to the stabilization of the thermodynamically stable products. We are interested in unconventional synthesis methods toward solid-state materials\, using reactive\, salt-like precursors. Our synthesis is guided by real-time reaction monitoring and theoretical predictions. I will show how new ternary compounds containing alkali metals (Li\, Na\, K) can be discovered using this approach. I will further discuss their structural features established by comprehensive diffraction methods\, and physical properties.

SUMMARY:Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Brian Liau
DESCRIPTION:Liau Flyer \nUnraveling Chromatin Complexes with Small Molecules \nAbstract: The orchestrated interactions of chromatin complexes and transcription factors shape the cell’s epigenome to control gene expression and cell state. Dysregulation of these complexes and their interactions underlie human disease\, and new therapeutic approaches to modulate them by blocking or even creating interactions are transforming paradigms for drug discovery. Beyond their potential as therapeutics\, these small molecules are powerful tools to dissect the function and regulation of chromatin complexes. By combining genome-editing with chemical inhibitor profiling in an approach called CRISPR-suppressor scanning\, we describe the systematic identification of drug resistance alleles across protein targets\, including chromatin complexes. These drug resistance alleles not only confirm on-target engagement but can be used as powerful discovery tools to uncover new principles and aspects of chromatin complex biology. In this seminar\, I will describe how the application of these approaches in combination with deeper mechanistic investigation has led to unexpected biological discoveries that reshape our views on targeting chromatin modifying enzymes for therapeutics.
