Join us on May 3 at 4:00 pm EST for our 49th SLiThEr! This is our third SLiThEr in our series on teaching advanced topics in inorganic chemistry. Joyce Pham (CSU San Bernardino) will present on “Solid-State Chemistry for Undergraduates.”
Join us on April 20 at 4pm EST as we present our 48th SLiThEr! Our second SLiThEr in the teaching advanced inorganic topics series is “Teaching Organometallics to Undergraduate Students” presented by Chip Nataro (Lafayette College).
In Fall 2022, R. David Britt was awarded the ACS Alfred Bader Award in Bioinorganic Chemistry for pioneering pulse electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy of the photosystem II oxygen-evolving complex, plus the advanced EPR spectroscopic characterization of numerous and varied key metalloenzymes and catalysts.
In fall 2022, May Nyman from Oregon State was awarded the F. Albert Cotton Award in Synthetic Inorganic Chemistry for her outstanding accomplishments in synthesis and development of polyoxometalates and metal oxohydroxoclusters, including their structures, speciation, reaction mechanisms, and function. In this literature discussion, students will examine her recent paper “Differentiating Zr/Hf Aqueous Polyoxocation Chemistry with Peroxide Ligation," Inorg. Chem. 2021, 60, 1631-1640 which is related to that work.
This Literature Discussion LO was created for the 2023 ACS Inorganic Chemistry Award Winners collection. Professor Shannon Stahl was the recipient of the 2023 Organometallic Chemistry Award. This LO is based on a recent paper from the Stahl group entitled "Can Donor Ligands Make Pd(OAc)2 a Stronger Oxidant? Access to Elusive Palladium(II) Reduction Potentials and Effects of Ancillary Ligands via Palladium(II)/Hydroquinone Reox Equilibria" published in J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2020, 142, 19678-19688.
Join us on Thursday, March 23 at 4pm EST as we present our 47th SLiThEr!
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.
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"
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.
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!
