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. 

Catalysis CURE Project in Capstone Lab Course
Description

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.

Catalysis CURE Proposal in Capstone Lab Course
Description

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.

Physical-Inorganic Techniques

Submitted by Madalyn Radlauer / San Jose State University on Wed, 05/27/2026 - 17:16
Description

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.

Intermediate Inorganic Laboratory with CURE SQ2025
Description

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.

Si and Ge ferrocenes

Submitted by Chip Nataro / Lafayette College on Thu, 02/05/2026 - 17:12
Description

This literature discussion is in honor of the work of Shigeyoshi Inoue, winner of the 2026 Frederic Stanley Kipping Award in Silicon Chemistry for “groundbreaking contributions to the synthesis and reactivity of low-valent silicon compounds, and advancing the potential of silicon in metal-free catalysis and small-molecule activation” (https://cen.acs.org/a
