National ACS Award Winners 2022 LO Collection
This collection of learning objects was created to celebrate the National ACS Award Winners 2022 who are members of the Division of Inorganic Chemistry. The list of award winners is shown below.
SLiThErs - Supporting Learning with Interactive Teaching: a Hosted, Engaging Roundtable
A collection of all of the IONiC VIPEr SLiThErs (Supporting Learning with Interactive Teaching: a Hosted, Engaging Roundtable). These events are short presentations on a topic followed by a period of discussion between the presenter and live participants. Each of these events is recorded and posted to the IONiC VIPEr YouTube Channel.
Transmetalation of Fp-X (X = Cl, Br or I) using gold(I)
Description
This literature discussion was developed for a Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experience (C.U.R.E.) course in which students will be examining the transmetalation of Fe-X (X = Cl, Br or I) using gold(I) compounds. This communication (Organometallics 2011, 30, 3457 - https://dx.doi.org/10.1021/om200360q) serves as the basis for the future studies. Our C.U.R.E. course has a prerequisite of one semester of Organic Chemistry.

Stabilizing Au2+ in a mixed valence 3D halide perovskite: A Literature Discussion
Description
This activity focuses on a discussion of the article "Stabilizing Au2+ in a mixed-valence 3D halide perovskite" which was published in 2023 from the Karunadasa group at Stanford University (Lindquist, K.P., Eghdami, A., Deschene, C.R. et al. Stabilizing Au2+ in a mixed-valence 3D halide perovskite. Nat. Chem. 15, 1780–1786 (2023). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41557-023-01305-y)
NYT Connections-Style Game for Lewis/HSAB Theory
Description
This game is modeled after the New York Times (NYT) "Connections" game, in which players are presented with 16 words or phrases and the objective is to sort the words into four groups of four words that are all connected in some way. The game can be done by students individually, in small groups, or even together as a whole class. This game aims to help students practice and/or review concepts related to Lewis acids and bases and hard-soft acid-base theory. In the game, students will be presented with 16 ions or compounds belonging to four different groups.
NYT Connections-Style Game for Ligand Classes
Description
This game is modeled after the New York Times (NYT) "Connections" game, in which players are presented with 16 words or phrases and the objective is to sort the words into four groups of four words that are all connected in some way. The game can be done by students individually, in small groups, or even together as a whole class. This game aims to help students practice and/or review the major classes of ligands. In the game, students are presented with 16 ligands, all belonging to four different classes.
NYT Connections-Style Game for Point Groups
Description
This game is modeled after the New York Times (NYT) "Connections" game, in which players are presented with 16 words or phrases and the objective is to sort the words into four groups of four words that are all connected in some way. The game can be done by students individually, in small groups, or even together as a whole class. This game aims to help students practice and/or review assigning point groups to molecules. In the game, students will be presented with 16 molecules, all belonging to four different point groups.
Impact of Gold Coordination on a Nonclassical Zinc Finger Protein
Description
This literature discussion was created for my 300-level elective course in bioinorganic chemistry. Over the course of the semester, we read a series of 3 papers from Sarah L.J. Michel's lab at the University of Maryland's School of Pharmacy. This paper, "Role of Gold in Inflammation and Tristetraprolin Activity" (https://doi.org/10.1002/chem.201904837) was the third one we examined. I used it as part of our section on metals in medicine and to discuss additional biochemical/bioinorganic techniques.

Description
This literature discussion was created for my 300-level elective course in bioinorganic chemistry. Over the course of the semester, we read a series of 3 papers from Sarah L.J. Michel's lab at the University of Maryland's School of Pharmacy.
