SUMMARY:Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Andrei Yudin
DESCRIPTION:Yudin Flyer \nSynthetic Half-Reactions \nAbstract: This lecture will describe the concept of synthetic half-reactions and its applications towards understanding the interplay of chemical reactivity and conformational interconversions. Apart from electrochemistry\, which offers half-reaction formalism to predict reactivity\, there is no accepted system that dissects chemical transformations into simple components with the goal of matching uphill steps with cognate downhill processes. Such a system would allow one to look at organic reactivity from a different perspective\, deemphasizing the role of molecular orbitals in favor of more intuitive enthalpic arguments. Given the frequent\, although often questionable\, use of the term “driving force” in organic chemistry\, it stands to reason that such treatment of reactivity is long overdue. I will describe the origins of the theory of synthetic half-reactions and demonstrate their utility on examples from our and others’ laboratories.

SUMMARY:Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Scott Cushing
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Cushing Flyer \nTitle: From Batteries to Photoelectrochemistry: Exploring Ultrafast Phenomena with Electrons\, X-rays\, and Entangled Photons \nAbstract: The Cushing lab focuses on ultrafast instrumentation building that ranges from tabletop X-rays\, entangled photon spectroscopy\, ultrafast TEM/EELS\, to new forms of battery spectroscopy. In this talk\, I will give a brief introduction to our research areas\, mentioning the increasingly “null” space explored with entangled photons\, and then focus on two of the techniques – table top X-ray spectroscopy and our newly created laser-driven ultrafast impedance method. First\, we use transient X-ray techniques to element-specifically explore complex photodynamics in solar to fuel and other solid-state systems. The ultrafast X-ray pulses measure a mix of electronic and structural dynamics\, and using our excited state Bethe-Salpeter equation approach\, we can extract everything from time-resolved electron and hole energies\, defect state occupations\, phonon and polaron modes\, and transport in multi-layer junctions. New examples include measuring a lattice’s coherent response to polaron formation and dynamic localization in superatomic crystals. Second\, we use our newly developed\, laser-driven ultrafast impedance method to investigate the ion hopping Hamiltonian of superionic conductors. Picosecond temporal and spectral correlations differentiate electron-ion\, electron-phonon\, and even potentially ion-ion interactions. Follow up transient XUV studies can then give an atomistic view of how material parameters control solid-state electrolyte and electrode performance.

SUMMARY:Special Seminar: Research in Chemical Education and STEM Pedagogy: Dr. Heather Tienson-Tseng
DESCRIPTION:Flyer: Dr. Heather Tienson-Tseng Flyer \nTitle: Using Assessment to Inform Instructional Changes \nAbstract: An integral aspect of education is assessment\, but what is the purpose of assessment\, and what can we do to better assess our students? Two common reasons for assigning assessments include determining what students have learned and assigning grades\, yet another purpose of assessments can include providing information about the effectiveness of instruction\, both longstanding approaches and instructional innovations. In this seminar we will discuss both formative and summative assessments\, as well as how one can use all forms of assessment to inform curricular change. Using examples from my research\, we will discuss ways to integrate formative assessment into a course to provide feedback for the instructor as well as learning opportunities for students. We will explore an investigation in which I used a concept inventory to identify chemistry misconceptions held by students at the start of a biochemistry course\, and then used the results of that assessment to make targeted instructional changes that succeeded in correcting those misconceptions. In another study\, I helped develop an exam-level assessment that was used to evaluate student understanding of metabolic pathways; this provided evidence of systems thinking in student responses and illustrates ways to make assessments more accessible to all students. This assessment data can now serve as a baseline to evaluate future instructional changes in the biochemistry course. Through this seminar\, we will see that all forms of assessment can be used to identify areas of instruction that can be improved upon\, and that changes to instruction in response to assessments can be as small as a targeted clicker question or as large as redesigning a course. Regardless\, instructional changes should be based on evidence from student assessments and continually evaluated for their efficacy through assessment of student learning.

SUMMARY:Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series: Wenyu Huang
DESCRIPTION:Flyer: Prof. Wenyu Huang Flyer \nTitle: From Selective Hydrogenation to Polymer Upcycling: Implementation of Ordered Nanomaterials in Heterogeneous Catalysis \nAbstract: Catalysis—the essential science for accelerating and directing chemical transformation—is the key to realizing environmentally friendly and economical processes for the conversion of fossil energy feedstocks. Catalysis is also the key to developing new technologies for converting alternative feedstocks\, such as waste plastics\, biomass\, carbon dioxide\, nitrogen\, and water\, to chemicals and fuels. The two grand challenges of heterogeneous catalysis\, understanding mechanisms and dynamics of catalyzed reactions as well as the design and controlled synthesis of catalyst structures\, require an atomic and electronic-level understanding of catalysts and catalytic processes. Due to their structural complexity\, especially under reaction conditions\, the catalytic active site and the molecule-catalyst interaction are often difficult to describe. This presentation will discuss our recent research on the synthesis\, characterization\, reaction study\, and modeling of heterogeneous catalysts that are precisely synthesized at the atomic level using well-defined porous silica nanomaterials\, intermetallic compounds\, and metal-organic frameworks\, which provide the means for meeting the two grand challenges of heterogeneous catalysis. This presentation will demonstrate that ordered nanomaterials could not only help the understanding of catalysis mechanisms but also reveal new catalytic phenomena.
