SUMMARY:Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Matthew Sheldon
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Matthew Sheldon Flyer \nTalk Title: Plasmonic Platforms for Polaritonic Chemistry \nAbstract: We are developing experimental platforms to probe vibrational strong coupling (VSC) between molecules and resonant infrared (IR) nanophotonic architectures\, in order to understand how this coupling can fundamentally control chemical reactivity\, as well as enable new classes of light-matter interaction. This method of altering the potential energy surface of a chemical process via coherent\, electromagnetic perturbation of vibrating bonds has also been termed “polaritonic chemistry”. We employ a combined experimental strategy leveraging expertise in (1) the design of IR “metasurfaces” composed of plasmonic metal substrates that provide tailorable VSC to molecules within their optical near-field; and (2) multiple continuous wave (CW) spectroscopic techniques that enable analysis of several non-equilibrium\, dynamic electronic effects in the metal substrate. Taken together\, these tools allow studies into new regimes of spectral bandwidth (e.g. simultaneous multi-mode coupling)\, coupling strength\, and time domains (e.g. studies of long lived and steady-state phenomena) that have been inaccessible using conventional optical cavities and time-resolved spectroscopies performed to date. Vibrational strong coupling is fundamentally interesting because it is a coherent interaction between radiation and molecular motion. The direct manipulation of a molecular process using externally controlled forcefields to obtain a desired outcome\, i.e. “coherent control” or “quantum control”\, has been a long-standing goal connected to the central aims of chemical science. Thus\, this presentation will discuss the limits of chemical analysis and chemical control at interfaces leveraging a framework based on coherent interactions between controllable features of the engineered surface geometry and the molecular systems under study. \n

SUMMARY:Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series Prof. Robert Comito
DESCRIPTION:Flyer: Prof. Robert Comito Flyer \nTitle: Bimetallic Main-Group Catalysts for the Synthesis of Advanced Biodegradable Polymers \nAbstract: Aliphatic polyesters are biodegradable and biocompatible materials that could replace polyolefins in many applications. However\, their synthesis with fine structural control remains challenging\, limiting the ability to tailor these materials for specialty and advanced applications. Our laboratory has developed a class of bimetallic main group catalysts for lactone and lactide polymerization distinguished by their electronic and steric tunability. The catalysts are constructed from binucleating bis(pyrazolyl)alkane ligands\, which we have prepared by a novel method. Targeting monomer selectivity\, stereocontrol\, and sequence control we have developed homobimetallic\, heterobimetallic\, and chiral analogues of these complexes. We show promising evidence for metal-metal cooperativity from significant enhancements in rate compared to monometallic analogues. Through systematic comparison of metal composition and ligand sterics\, we have identified a highly selective catalyst for lactone incorporation into polylactide\, providing copolymers with a highly alternating structure. We describe an unusual dilithium complex that polymerizes aldehydes with exceptional activity and selectivity\, raising opportunities for more sophisticated and adaptable oxygenated polymers.

SUMMARY:Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: David Limmer
DESCRIPTION:Prof. David Limmer Flyer \nTalk Title: Exciton polarons in lead halide perovskites \nAbstract: In this talk\, I will review some of our recent work concerning the photophysics of the lead halide perovskites. In particular\, I will discuss how their soft\, polar lattices endow quasiparticle excitations like\, polarons and excitons\, with a number of anomalous properties. The electron-phonon coupling in this class of materials results in electrons and holes being repelled from each other in bulk materials at elevated temperatures\, and generates a strongly size dependent dynamic Stokes shift in nanoparticles. In 2d materials\, lattice effects renormalize exciton binding energies\, bringing theoretical predictions that neglect them into better agreement with experimental measurements. The results presented are derived from simple Gaussian field theories and validated with quasiparticle path integral molecular dynamics simulations.

SUMMARY:Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series - Professor C. Michael McGuirk
DESCRIPTION:Flyer: Prof. C. Michael McGuirk Flyer \nTitle: Exploring Flexibility and Connectivity in Synthetic Porous Frameworks \nAbstract: Synthetic permanently porous materials are poised to play a key role in our transition to a more sustainable society. Owing to their structural and chemical modularity\, synthetic frameworks\, such as metal–organic\, covalent\, and hydrogen-bonded networks\, are uniquely amenable to realizing highly specific functionality for emergent clean energy applications. However\, desired performance for many pressing challenges\, such as H2 delivery and light alkene purification\, continue to elude established framework classes. Thus\, the pursuit of synthetic porous frameworks with emergent behaviors and of entirely new classes of frameworks is essential. In this vein\, this talk will cover two distinct efforts to diversify function and form. First\, recent efforts to harness reversible framework flexibility to enhance usable capacities of hydrogen storage and delivery and for direct purification of propylene will be discussed. Then\, the recent discovery of a novel class of frameworks assembled and stabilized through noncovalent chalcogen bonds\, called Chalcogen-Bonded Organic Frameworks (ChOFs)\, will be detailed.

SUMMARY:Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series - Prof. Victor Mougel
DESCRIPTION:Flyer: Prof. Victor Mougel Flyer \nTitle: Bio-inspired Strategies for Small Molecule Electroreduction Across Multiple Scales \nAbstract: Enzymatic systems have evolved complex strategies to maximize the efficiency and product selectivity in small molecule activation\, including CO2 reduction. Besides unique active sites containing\, by definition\, earth-abundant elements\, enzymes further control catalytic activity through second sphere interactions and a fine control of electron transfer chains. In this talk\, we will introduce a series of bio-inspired strategies for the design of electrocatalytic systems for small molecule activations across multiple scales\, encompassing the development of both heterogeneous and molecular catalysts. We will highlight a series of earth-abundant metal-based molecular and heterogeneous catalysts inspired by the active sites of enzymatic systems. Particular emphasis will be given to the exploration of bio-inspired strategies for electron transfers and storage\, using synthetic Fe4S4 clusters.

SUMMARY:Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Bryan Changala
DESCRIPTION:Title: “Illuminating Exotic Chemistry and Physics with Single-Quantum-State Spectroscopy” \nAbstract: Molecules are amongst the most complex objects that can be controlled and studied at the individual quantum state level. In this talk\, I will introduce some of the extraordinary advances made in the last decade by the application of AMO physics tools\, including cavity-enhanced optical frequency comb and microwave techniques\, to such quantum-state-resolved spectroscopy. These precision light-matter probes have redrawn the limits of molecular complexity that can be characterized and controlled in the laboratory\, enabling scientists to address important chemical and physical problems from a fundamental\, bottom-up perspective. I will showcase these applications in achieving rovibrational quantum-state spectroscopy of the C60 fullerene (the largest molecule for which this has been achieved); revealing the unexpectedly rich chemistry that occurs in extreme astrophysical environments; and exploring the unique electronic properties of metal-ligand complexes critical to applications in quantum science and metrology. \nDr. Bryan Changala Flyer

SUMMARY:Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Giulia Palermo
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Giulia Palermo Flyer \nTitle: Dynamics and mechanisms of CRISPR-Cas9 through the lens of computational methods \nAbstract: The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) genome-editing revolution established the beginning of a new era in life sciences. I will report the role of state-of-the-art computations in the CRISPR-Cas9 revolution\, from the early refinement of cryo-EM data to enhanced simulations of large-scale conformational transitions. Molecular simulations reported a mechanism for RNA binding and the formation of a catalytically competent Cas9 enzyme\, in agreement with subsequent structural studies. Inspired by single-molecule experiments\, molecular dynamics offered a rationale for the onset of off-target effects\, while graph theory unveiled the allosteric regulation. Finally\, the use of a mixed quantum-classical approach established the catalytic mechanism of DNA cleavage. Overall\, molecular simulations are instrumental in understanding the dynamics and mechanism of CRISPR-Cas9 and pave the way for a new field of computational studies aimed at deciphering and engineering genome editing systems.

SUMMARY:The 2023 M. Frederick Hawthorne Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Flyer: Hawthorne Symposium 2023 flyer \nSchedule Brochure:Hawthorne Symposium Brochure \nProfessor M. Frederick Hawthorne (August 24\, 1928 – July 8\, 2021) was a true chemistry pioneer\, discovering boron cluster structures that have paved the way in inorganic\, organometallic\, material\, nanotechnology\, and medicinal sciences. His award-winning work in boron chemistry and time as a distinguished Professor of Chemistry at UCLA have not only shaped and broadened the field\, but also touched the lives of countless students\, faculty\, researchers\, friends\, and family. In honor of his contributions\, the American Chemical Society established the “M. Frederick Hawthorne Award in Main Group Inorganic Chemistry” in 2020. The M. Frederick Hawthorne Symposium aims to celebrate and honor these recipients\, who have made significant contributions to chemistry involving the elements of groups 1\, 2\, and 13-18\, with special consideration given to demonstrated creativity and independence of thought\, in keeping with the example provided by the late Professor Hawthorne. The 2022 M. Frederick Hawthorne Symposium is made possible by the Raymond and Dorothy Wilson Endowment.

SUMMARY:Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series: Shabnam Hematian
DESCRIPTION:Flyer: Prof. Shabnam Hematian Flyer \nTitle:Unconventional Approaches for Mediating Redox Reactions \nAbstract: Reactions involving electron transfers are known as oxidation-reduction\, or redox\, processes\, common and vital to our daily lives. Redox reactions lie at the heart of chemical\, biological\, environmental\, and energy sciences and technologies. Here\, we show how employing unconventional approaches and blueprints to a broad range of redox reactions taking place within homogeneous photocatalysts\, protein scaffolds\, and electrochemical systems provides an avenue for novel chemistries. Together\, our studies showcase examples of redox processes proceeding under mild conditions\, with some being driven by light or an external bias. Specifically\, we investigate the photoactivation of metal-oxo bonds in coordination compounds\, mechanism and function of a new class of copper enzymes\, and novel electrolyte materials for use in organic redox flow batteries. Importantly\, the diversity of molecular structures\, functions\, and mechanisms involved in these examples will highlight the versatility and modularity of the redox reactions and their vital role in realizing a sustainable future.

SUMMARY:Inorganic Student Exit Talk: Austin Ready
DESCRIPTION:Flyer: Austin Ready Flyer \nTitle: Boron Clusters as Robust Building Blocks for the Expansion of Carbon-Based Chemistry \nAbstract: 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 compared to their carbon-based counterparts. In particular\, our group studies the twelve vertex-containing boron cluster dodecaborate— [B12H12]2-— as a synthetic building block whose chemical reactivity and electrochemical behavior can be rationally modified by substituting the B-H vertices on the periphery of the cluster with various reactive functional groups. I will discuss the synthesis\, chemical properties\, and structure/bonding considerations pertaining to these derivatized B12 clusters\, as well as potential applications relevant to the fields of materials science and energy storage.

SUMMARY:Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series: Phillip J. Milner
DESCRIPTION:Flyer:Prof. Phillip Milner Flyer \nTitle: “Simplifying Synthesis at the Interface of Organic and Materials Chemistry” \nAbstract: 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 discuss how this tunability can be used to unlock new reactive species relevant to organic synthesis and catalysis\, focusing on fluorination chemistry\, which is critical to the pharmaceutical\, polymer\, and agrochemical industries. We will also draw inspiration from organic chemistry for the design of new chemical separations and electrocatalytically active materials.

SUMMARY:Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series: Professor Prashant Jain
DESCRIPTION:Flyer: Prof. Prashant Jain Flyer \nTitle: “The Chemical Potential of Light” \nAbstract: 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 with molecules and activating chemical transformations and even inducing emergent chemistry. In my laboratory\, catalysts based on plasmonic nanoparticles are allowing light to be used as a redox equivalent in chemical reactions\, for promoting non-equilibrium chemical processes\, for modifying product selectivity\, for photosynthesizing fuels\, and for boosting electrochemical conversions. I will provide a deeper view of the excited-state structures\, species\, and mechanisms that underlie these phenomena at the nanoparticle–solution interface.
