Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Hannah Shafaat
Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Hannah Shafaat
Shafaat Flyer Title: Model Metalloenzymes to Catalyze the Reactions of Early Life Abstract: Metalloenzymes catalyze the challenging chemical reactions that lie at the core of vital life processes, from carbon and nitrogen fixation to photosynthesis and respiration. Native metalloenzymes use only earth-abundant transition metals and operate under mild conditions, accessing reactivity that remains largely out […]

Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series: Prashant Jain
Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series: Prashant Jain
Flyer: Prof. Prashant Jain Flyer Title: "The Chemical Potential of Light" Abstract: The interaction of light with molecules can be used to access new modes of chemical reactivity; however, this interaction is often difficult to exploit in a universal manner. I will describe how plasmonics is proving to be a general strategy for interfacing photons […]

Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Prof. Joel Smith
Smith Flyer Title: Dearomative Alkaloid Synthesis Abstract: Biologically active alkaloids continue to serve as a means of biomedical discovery in addition to serving as forcing functions for the invention of new chemical transformations. Structurally, many of these natural products and rationally designed drugs also contain one or more piperidine rings, making it the most common […]

Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Franz Geiger
Geiger Flyer Title: Photonic Electrochemistry Abstract: Water's oxygen is the electron source in the industrially important oxygen evolution reaction, but how water interacts with an electrode remains enigmatic. While much microscopic insight into the Stern layer comes from atomistic simulations or joint theory-experiment approaches, water's strong absorber problem has clouded our view of how water […]

Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Prof. Abby Knight
Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Prof. Abby Knight
Knight Flyer Title: Biomimetic Hierarchical Structure in Synthetic Macromolecules Abstract: The remarkable functions of proteins, from refined binding profiles to efficient catalysis, are currently unrivaled by synthetic macromolecules due to complex hierarchical structure in natural systems. Inspired by this grand challenge, the Knight group is at the interface of chemical biology and polymer science, developing […]

Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Lisa Fredin
Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Lisa Fredin
Fredin Flyer Title: Modeling Photoactive Organic Materials Abstract: Chemical intuition is well developed for single molecules but the extent to which disorder in solid state molecular materials contributes to their properties is poorly understood. In particular, molecular materials move charges in some directions much more efficiently than others due to the packing of the molecules. […]

Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series: Phillip J. Milner
Flyer:Prof. Phillip Milner Flyer Title: "Simplifying Synthesis at the Interface of Organic and Materials Chemistry" Abstract: Porous framework materials, including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), are highly tunable materials with myriad potential applications ranging from chemical separations to gas storage to catalysis. This is due to the unusual local environment offered by their pores. Herein we will […]

Distinguished Lecture Series: Prof. David Christianson
Distinguished Lecture Series: Prof. David Christianson
Title: Directing Biosynthesis with Modular Architecture in Terpene Cyclases Abstract: Terpene cyclases catalyze the most complex chemical reactions in biology, in that more than half of the carbon atoms in an isoprenoid substrate undergo changes in bonding or hybridization during a multi-step cyclization cascade that proceeds through multiple carbocation intermediates. Although the substrate pool for […]

Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Lu Wei
Wei Flyer Title: Functional Bond-Selective Microscopy for Subcellular Bioanalysis Abstract: Innovations in optical spectroscopy and microscopy have revolutionized our understanding in live biological systems at the sub-cellular levels. In this talk, I will present our recent advances in developing and applying functional bond-selective spectro-microscopy for investigating subcellular biological activities with rich chemical information. In the […]

Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Robert Baker
Baker Flyer Title: Observing Ultrafast Electron Motion in Catalytic Systems: New Ways to Visualize Charge and Spin Dynamics at Interfaces Abstract: Understanding and controlling electron dynamics at interfaces is at the heart of numerous applications ranging from heterogenous catalysis to information processing. To directly observe these dynamics, we have developed ultrafast XUV reflection spectroscopy as […]

Inorganic Student Exit Talk: Austin Ready
Inorganic Student Exit Talk: Austin Ready
Flyer: Austin Ready Flyer Title: Boron Clusters as Robust Building Blocks for the Expansion of Carbon-Based Chemistry Abstract: Due to a delocalization of electron density, polyhedral boron clusters are often described as three-dimensional analogues of planar aromatic molecules such as benzene. Despite this electronic similarity, boron clusters can have drastically different chemical and physical properties […]
