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!
New Opportunity: VIPEr LaB Fellows!
With funding from the National Science Foundation, we are excited to announce the VIPEr LaB Fellows project, an extension of a prior Fellows program that now focuses on improving laboratory experiences. The goals are for VIPEr LaB Fellows to revitalize laboratory experiment(s) using best practices for laboratory learning and incorporate more inquiry.
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)
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.
Impact of Lead(II) 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.
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.
