• Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Bryan Changala

    Collaboratory Yoo Seminar & Conference Hall YH4222 

    Title: "Illuminating Exotic Chemistry and Physics with Single-Quantum-State Spectroscopy" Abstract: 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 […]

    Collaboratory Yoo Seminar & Conference Hall YH4222 

    Prof. Colin Nuckolls Flyer Talk Title: Putting Molecules into Materials Abstract: This presentation will detail our efforts to create materials from contorted aromatic molecules. In particular, I will discuss how to create ladder polymers from helicenes and twistacenes building blocks. These materials have extraordinary properties as materials. The helicenes have the largest chiroptic response of […]

    Flyer: Prof. Shabnam Hematian Flyer Title:Unconventional Approaches for Mediating Redox Reactions Abstract: 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 […]

  • Inorganic Student Exit Talk: Austin Ready

    Collaboratory Yoo Seminar & Conference Hall YH4222 

    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 […]
