Submitted by Todsapon T. / University of Evansville on Tue, 11/23/2021 - 11:40
Description

This literature discussion involves various aspect of organometallic chemistry ranging from synthesis, reactions, symmetry, NMR and IR spectroscopy of organometallic compounds as well as catalysis.

Students are asked to read the article published in Angewandte Chime, and answer the questions from the worksheet. Students later discuss their answers with the entire class.

SLiThEr #27: A mental health conversation

Submitted by Chip Nataro / Lafayette College on Wed, 10/06/2021 - 08:17

Join us on Thursday, October 14th at 4 pm EDT as Hailey Dannatt (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) presents "A mental health conversation: Warning signs, normalization, and responses". This is going to be a very different SLiThEr in terms of the topic and we anticipate it will be of interest to people from outside of the IONiC community.

SLiThEr #26- September 30th at 3pm EDT

Submitted by Kari Stone / Lewis University on Fri, 09/24/2021 - 15:34

Please join us for our next SLiThEr as Dr. Mitch Anstey (Davidson College) takes us through his successes and challenges in “Mitch Learns about Alternative Grading. Join us for a discussion on alternative grading techniques!

Fall SLiThEr Schedule

Submitted by Chip Nataro / Lafayette College on Fri, 09/10/2021 - 09:21

Hi everyone! Team SLiThEr has been hard at work putting together a schedule of SLiThErs for the fall semester and while I might be biased, I think we've done a great job. What's a SLiThEr? A roughly hour log online meeting in which we have a speaker present for 30-40 minutes and then a discussion. You can see our previous SLiThErs here. We are going to be covering a wide range of topics this semester that we think the community will really appreciate.

SLiThEr #25 - August 19th at 3 pm EDT

Submitted by Matt Cranswick / Oregon State University on Wed, 08/11/2021 - 17:51

Please join us for our next SLiThEr as Dr. John Miecznikowski (Fairfield U.) and Dr. Tulay Atesin (UT, Rio Grande Valley) delve more deeply into their nanoCHAt discussion of "Getting Students Started and Continuing in Research".  Join us for a discussion on successes, failures, and approaches to keeping students active in research.

SLiThEr #25 will be Thursday, August 19th at 3 pm Eastern Time (GMT -4). You can sign up to join the discussion here: https://forms.gle/o57jBb2ZnwRmHUHz9

The N5+ Cation: Explosive Chemistry and Raman Analysis (Christe) - Expanded and Updated

Submitted by Katheryn Cruz / University of Texas at Arlington on Tue, 08/03/2021 - 12:32
Description

This paper discusses the synthesis and characterization of a novel compound of nitrogen.  The pre-discussion assignment asks students draw a Lewis structure for the N5+ cation, and using the tools of group theory, conduct a normal mode vibrational analysis, comparing the results to the experimental Raman spectral data.­­
