SUMMARY:Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series - Prof. Kwabena Bediako
DESCRIPTION:Flyer: Prof. Kwabena Bediako Flyer \nTitle: Superlattice Design of Solids and Interfaces \nAbstract: Superlattice structures are a powerful means of tailoring physical and chemical properties of materials. The modification of electronic structures at electrode–electrolyte interfaces is fundamental to efficient electrochemical energy conversion processes\, and the intercalation of magnetic ions between van der Waals layers tunes the correlated electronic phenomena in these quantum materials. This talk will describe how azimuthal misalignment of atomically thin layers produces moiré superlattices that manifest a strong twist angle dependence of heterogeneous electrochemical kinetics in the case of twisted bilayer and twisted trilayer graphene electrodes with the greatest enhancement observed near the ‘magic angles’. These effects are driven by the angle-dependent engineering of moiré superlattice flat bands that dictate the electron transfer processes with the solution-phase redox couple. In addition\, the talk will discuss how transition metal dichalcogenides intercalated with open-shell transition metals represent a family of materials allowing fine control over the chemical and electronic structure of a magnetic material to tailor the interplay between (anti)ferromagnetic exchange\, magnetocrystalline anisotropy\, and anisotropic exchange (Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interactions) to bring about exotic magnetic orders in two-dimensional materials or bulk crystals. The design and manipulation of superlattices structures is therefore shown to serve as an unparalleled platform for systematically interrogating and exploiting the dependence of physical and chemical phenomena on electronic structure.

SUMMARY:Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series - Prof. Chong Liu
DESCRIPTION:Flyer: Prof. Chong Liu Flyer \nTitle: Materials Design for Critical Element Separation \nAbstract: The development of renewable energy technologies and next-generation quantum and optoelectronic devices relies on the secured supply of critical elements. Traditional mining and separation methods are disruptive to the environment\, consume large quantities of harsh chemicals\, and are unable to access dilute resources due to low elemental selectivity. Therefore\, the invention of new separation methods and the fundamental understanding of the separation processes are crucial to realizing sustainable mining while broadening minable resources. In this talk\, I will first introduce a platform method\, electrochemical intercalation\, for selective ion separation. I will present several strategies to promote the separation of lithium and lanthanides based on the understanding of complex host behavior upon co-intercalation of competing ions. In the second part\, I will introduce our efforts in developing methods to construct (sub)nanometer solid ionic channels and probe the water and ion transport behavior in confinement.

SUMMARY:Special Chemistry Seminar - Rigoberto Hernandez
DESCRIPTION:Hernandez Seminar Flyer \n\n\n\n   3D-Networked Nanoparticles for Autonomous Computing\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract:  Over the last decade\, it has become clear that conventional VLSI is reaching key scaling limits. Moreover\, the energy efficiency of human-engineered electronic devices is many orders of magnitude lower as compared to biological computational structures. Such inefficiencies\, for example\, severely limit our ability to move from 2D to 3D architectures in materials systems as is needed to achieve high performance and span the complexity required for applications using big data or artificial intelligence. We therefore need a new class of materials that can enable computing\, but which are not bound by the rules of conventional VLSI\, and we are inspired by the fact that the brain is an existence proof for such low-energy high-computing materials that do not rely on a von Neumann architecture. We have pursued the use of polymer-networked nanoparticles as a possible alternative. We will summarize our progress on characterizing these materials and report the primitive structures that we have created computationally thus far.

SUMMARY:Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series - Prof. Wenliang Huang
DESCRIPTION:Flyer: Prof. Wenliang Huang Flyer \nTitle: F-Block Metal–Arene Interaction: Dual Reactivity of Metal and Arene \nAbstract: The unique metal–arene interactions motivated the advancement of chemical bond theory\, and enabled a wide range of applications in synthesis and catalysis. In addition\, ligand designs incorporating metal–arene interaction led to breakthroughs in stabilizing unusual oxidation states\, and empowering small molecule activation and catalysis. Our group focuses on utilizing f-block metal-arene interactions in synthesis and catalysis. We have synthesized a series of inverse-sandwich f-block metal arene complexes and explored their reactivity. In addition\, we have incorporated metal-arene interaction in ligand design and developed tripodal tris(amino)arene ligands capable of supporting multiple oxidation states of f-elements. Our results unveiled that the f-block metal-arene interaction not only enables redox chemistry at the metal site\, but also leads to unprecedented functionalization of the arenes.

SUMMARY:Distinguished Lecture Series - David A. Leigh
DESCRIPTION:Title: Giving Chemistry Direction \nAbstract: In recent years examples of synthetic molecular machines and motors have been developed\, all be they primitive by biological standards. Such molecules are best designed to work through statistical mechanisms. In a manner reminiscent of Maxwell’s Demon\, random thermal motion can be rectified through ratchet mechanisms\, giving chemistry direction. \nIt is increasingly being recognized that similar concepts can be applied to other chemical exchange processes. Ratchet mechanisms—effectively chemical engines in which catalysis of ‘fuel’ to ‘waste’ is used to drive another chemical process—can cause directional impetus in what are otherwise stochastic systems\, including reversible chemical reactions. This is ushering in a new era of non-equilibrium chemistry\, providing fundamental advances in functional molecule design and the first examples of molecular robotics\, overturning existing dogma and offering fresh insights into biology and molecular nanotechnology. \nDavid Leigh DLS Flyer

SUMMARY:Inorganic Chemistry Student Exit Talk: Aamir Shah
DESCRIPTION:Flyer: Aamir Shah Flyer \nTitle: Fundamental Understanding of Electrode-Electrolyte Interface in Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) Kinetics \nAbstract: Abstract: The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is one of the most fundamental and critical reactions in renewable energy conversion. The recent advancement in various platinum (Pt) nanocatalyst designs has led to greatly improved HER activity. Identification of the exact active sites and understanding the structure-activity relationship are critical for rational catalyst design but remain elusive due to the lack of methods robustly resolving the role of different surface sites. Moreover\, it is well recognized that the HER kinetics is drastically slower in alkaline media compared to acidic media\, but the descriptors of the HER kinetics are still elusive. Specifically\, in the presence of alkali metal cations and hydroxyl anions\, the electrode–electrolyte (platinum–water) interface in an alkaline electrolyte is far more complex than that in an acidic electrolyte. The effects of different alkali metal cations (AM+) and pH on these reactions are poorly understood due to a lack of suitable experimental methods. We are combining surface-sensitive electrical transport spectroscopy (ETS) with other electrochemistry techniques and computational studies to probe and understand the fundamental role of different AM+ and pH on the reaction kinetics of HER. Our study provides fundamental insights into how and why AM+ and pH influence the HER in alkaline media. We expect that this research will provide the molecular-level understanding that will shed new insights into electrolyte engineering as an alternative pathway to control electrochemical reaction kinetics.

SUMMARY:Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Robert Baker
DESCRIPTION:Baker Flyer \nTitle: Observing Ultrafast Electron Motion in Catalytic Systems: New Ways to Visualize Charge and Spin Dynamics at Interfaces \nAbstract: 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 a surface sensitive analog of time-resolved x-ray absorption. In these measurements\, high harmonic generation of attosecond to femtosecond XUV pulses enables real-time observation of charge and spin dynamics with element specificity\, ultrafast time resolution\, and near atomic layer surface sensitivity. This talk will highlight recent studies of surface electron dynamics in materials ranging from photocatalysts to magnetic semiconductors to systems displaying chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS). In addition to ultrafast electron transfer\, we also study the interfacial solvation structure in electrocatalytic systems using in-situ sum frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy. This complimentary tool enables direct measurement of solvent-mediated electric fields at catalytic interfaces\, which are found to significantly influence the kinetics of electrochemical CO2 activation and reduction. Last\, I will briefly describe the National eXtreme Ultrafast Science (NeXUS) facility. This $10M infrastructure project provides attosecond and femtosecond pulses of XUV light with tailored bandwidth to a suite of experimental end-stations enabling molecular and material characterization with unprecedented temporal and spatial resolution. This facility\, which is supported by the National Science Foundation\, will soon become an international open-access user facility serving the entire chemical\, physics\, and materials communities.

SUMMARY:Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Lu Wei
DESCRIPTION:Wei Flyer \nTitle: Functional Bond-Selective Microscopy for Subcellular Bioanalysis \nAbstract: 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 first part of my talk\, I will present the novel coupling of the stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) imaging\, a nonlinear Raman imaging modality\, with the newly developed chemical strategies for Raman-guided intracellular metabolic mapping; quantitative subcellular analysis of cytoplasmic aggregates; photo-activatable and photo-switchable SRS spectral-imaging; intracellular sensing through alkyne-HDX; and toward super-resolution chemical imaging. In the second part of my talk\, I will present a new mid-infrared near-infrared two-photon imaging technique for bond-selective fluorescence imaging with single-molecule sensitivity.

SUMMARY:Distinguished Lecture Series: Prof. David Christianson
DESCRIPTION:Title: Directing Biosynthesis with Modular Architecture in Terpene Cyclases \nAbstract: 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 these enzymes is limited to only a handful of linear isoprenoids\, more than 100\,000 terpenoid natural products have been identified to date. Crystal structures of terpene cyclases reveal common\, modular protein folds that direct unique catalytic strategies underlying this exquisite chemodiversity. Most recently\, structural studies of bifunctional assembly-line terpene synthases using cryo-EM and other biophysical techniques show how the first two steps of terpene biosynthesis are combined in nanoscale oligomeric assemblies. Cluster channeling within the oligomer ensures efficient carbon management in wild-type and mutant enzymes.

SUMMARY:Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Lisa Fredin
DESCRIPTION:Fredin Flyer \nTitle: Modeling Photoactive Organic Materials \nAbstract: 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. Noncovalent interactions between the molecular components mean that dynamic disorder in these materials can have a large impact on the electronic properties of these materials at room temperature. This work explores how packing and vibrations in organic crystals affect charge transport in light driven devices. In particular\, the size of dynamic disorder due to phonons or electronic excitation of molecules in the crystal is predicted for well-ordered high-mobility single crystals.
