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.
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.
AI statements are somewhat obsolete.
In CHEM 146, a capstone course for chemistry majors at San José State University, I run a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) developed in collaboration with many members of the IONiC VIPEr community. This CURE starts with every student in the lab developing and presenting their proposed project to the class (described in a separate LO) and then "fund" (pursue) the top rated proposals in groups of 2 or 3 students.
In CHEM 146, a capstone course for chemistry majors at San José State University, I run a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) developed in collaboration with many members of the IONiC VIPEr community. This CURE starts with every student in the lab developing and presenting their proposed project to the class. Each proposal is addressing the same overarching scientific aim: to study catalysts for catechol oxidation where at least one of the proposed catalysts has not been used for this reaction before.
Application of advanced instrumental and preparative techniques to the study of structure, reactivity, and spectroscopy of inorganic and organic substances including materials. This is a capstone course and includes a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) that runs throughout the semester.
This is a slide deck I use to introduce the CURE the first day of Inorganic Lab. I have posted the syllabus for this class as an LO as well, and will combine the materials from this CURE in a collection. The CURE was carried out in SQ24 and SQ25 quarters, in collaboration with Madalyn Radlauer, Byran Nell, and David Quist. We have a ACS Symposium Series Chapter on it that will be published in 2026, and I will link the chapter here once it is published.
In this lab we have two standard introduction labs (LUM and POR) and then a full CURE. This was the second time I ran this CURE (the first was Spring 2024).
The CURE is being published as a multi-institution ACS Symposium Series Chapter in 2026, and the materials from the CURE will be hosted in a collection on VIPEr.
Once the chapter is published, I will add the link to it in the description.
This paper (J. Organomet. Chem. 2022, 965-966, 122317) describes the synthesis and reactivity of four-coordinate iridium compound with a tridentate ligand. This ligand is referred to in the paper as a pincer ligand which are a general class of tridentate ligands that coordinate in a mer- arrangement.
