SLiThEr #47 - Teaching Bioinorganic to Undergraduate and Graduate Students
Join us on Thursday, March 23 at 4pm EST as we present our 47th SLiThEr!
Beyond the Average Structure: Misfit and Superstructure of Chalcogenide Nanotubes (Tenne)
Description
This LO is in honor of the 2023 ACS Award in the Chemistry of Materials to Professor Reshef Tenne. Prof. Tenne was recognized for his contributions toward the development of inorganic fullerene-like nanoparticles and inorganic nanotubes.
1FLO: Species distribution diagrams of iron complexes of catechols (Butler)
Description
This LO is submitted in honor of Alison Butler for her 2023 "ACS Award for Distinguished Service in Advancement of Inorganic Chemistry"
"For groundbreaking accomplishments in bioinorganic chemistry and leadership to the national and international chemistry community through the ACS Division of Inorganic Chemistry"
Growth of Colloidal Crystals (Aizenberg)
Description
Joanna Aizenberg of Harvard University was awarded the 2023 ACS Award in Colloid Chemistry for her outstanding contributions to fundamental and applied colloid chemistry in developing large-scale, highly ordered porous colloidal materials with unique photonic, catalytic, and sensing properties. This literature discussion will highlight her recent work to understand how colloidal crystals of polystyrene spheres grow when the solvent evaporates.
ACS Indianapolis
The ACS meeting is fast approaching and as always it is going to be a fun but busy week. Stop by our poster session Sunday afternoon as part of the main DIC session. The IONiC crew will be out in force at our poster and you can probably get some swag! Our social hour will be Sunday night and you can contact me for details or get them on our Discord Server. We return with our poster Monday night for Sci-Mix. Our oral sessions will be Tuesday and Wednesday morning. We hope to see lots of new and familiar faces in Indy!
Aromatic inclusion within a neutral cavity-containing rectangular grid (Atwood)
Description
This literature discussion LO was created for the ACS National Award Winners 2023 collection. Dr. Jerry Atwood was the recipient of the 2023 ACS Award in Inorganic Chemistry.
SLiThEr #46 - A Departmental Climate Survey
March 8th - 3 pm eastern
A Multidimensional Approach to Carbodiphosphorane-Bismuth Coordination Chemistry: Cationization, Redox-Flexibility, and Stabilization of a Crystalline Bismuth Hydridoborate (Gilliard)
Description
This literature discussion LO was created for the ACS National Award Winners 2023 . Dr. Robert Gilliard was the recipient of the 2023 Harry Gray Award for Creative Work in Inorganic Chemistry by a Young Investigator.
SLiThEr #45 on Teaching f-block Chemistry
Please join us on February 8 at 4pm EST with Patrick Barber (University of West Florida) where he will discuss teaching f-block chemistry to undergraduates. Sign up here for the Zoom link!
Incorporating f-block chemistry into the classroom and lab.
Building Heteronuclear Diatomic MOs
Description
A guided inquiry activity for students to build the MO diagram for HF based on energetic and symmetry considerations. Students then compare their model to a standard MO diagram and examine what additional information a MO diagram conveys that the Lewis structure does not.
