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.
IONiC/VIPEr Survey
We are currently collecting data on the use of VIPEr materials in support of a future grant proposal. Please help keep this community functioning by taking a few minutes to respond. You can access the survey through this link. All answers are anonymous, but you have the option at the end of the survey to give us permission to quote you.
If you are a registered VIPEr faculty user, you may have already taken this survey. Thank you for your help!
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)
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.
Synthesis of Phenyl-Substituted Poly(3-Hydroxybutyrates) with High and Tunable Glass Transition Temperatures via Sequential Catalytic Transformations (Coates)
Description
This literature discussion celebrates Dr. Geoffrey W. Coates for being the recipient of the ACS Award in Polymer Chemistry 2026 from the American Chemical Society.
Programmable Atom Equivalents: Colloidal Crystal Engineering with DNA
Description
This literature discussion was created for the ACS National Award Winners 2026 collection for Prof. Chad Mirkin, the recipient of the 2026 ACS Award in the Chemistry of Materials for “establishing the field of colloidal crystal engineering with DNA.” This LO is based on the article, "A General Approach to DNA-Programmable Atom Equivalents" published in Nature Materials, 2013, 12, 741.
Terminal Iron–Dinitrogen and Iron–Imide Complexes Supported by a Tris(phosphino)borane Ligand (Peters)
Description
This literature discussion LO was created for the ACS National Award Winners 2026 collection for Dr. Jonas C. Peters, the recipient of the ACS Award in Inorganic Chemistry. This LO is based on the article "Terminal Iron–Dinitrogen and Iron–Imide Complexes Supported by a Tris(phosphino)borane Ligand" published in Angewandte Chemie Int. Eng.
Si and Ge ferrocenes
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
