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.
NYT Connections-Style Game for Ligand Classes
Description
This game is modeled after the New York Times (NYT) "Connections" game, in which players are presented with 16 words or phrases and the objective is to sort the words into four groups of four words that are all connected in some way. The game can be done by students individually, in small groups, or even together as a whole class. This game aims to help students practice and/or review the major classes of ligands. In the game, students are presented with 16 ligands, all belonging to four different classes.
Catalysis CURE Project in Capstone Lab Course
Madalyn Radlauer / San Jose State University
Wed, 05/27/2026 - 18:54
Description
In CHEM 146, a capstone course for chemistry majors at San José State University, I run a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) developed in collaboration with many members of the IONiC VIPEr community. This CURE starts with every student in the lab developing and presenting their proposed project to the class (described in a separate LO) and then "fund" (pursue) the top rated proposals in groups of 2 or 3 students.
Catalysis CURE Proposal in Capstone Lab Course
Madalyn Radlauer / San Jose State University
Wed, 05/27/2026 - 17:25
Description
In CHEM 146, a capstone course for chemistry majors at San José State University, I run a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) developed in collaboration with many members of the IONiC VIPEr community. This CURE starts with every student in the lab developing and presenting their proposed project to the class. Each proposal is addressing the same overarching scientific aim: to study catalysts for catechol oxidation where at least one of the proposed catalysts has not been used for this reaction before.
Physical-Inorganic Techniques
Description
Application of advanced instrumental and preparative techniques to the study of structure, reactivity, and spectroscopy of inorganic and organic substances including materials. This is a capstone course and includes a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) that runs throughout the semester.
Comparing the Solid- and Solution-State Stoichiometry of Metal Complexes with Schiff-base Ligands
Peter Craig / McDaniel College
Mon, 05/11/2026 - 17:32
Description
This research-based laboratory series investigates the stoichiometry of metal ion complexes of the Schiff-base ligand salicylaldehyde benzoyl hydrazone (SBH) in both the solid and solution states using gravimetric analysis and UV-VIS spectroscopy.
Inorganic Chemistry
Description
Intermediate Inorganic Laboratory with CURE SQ2025
Description
In this lab we have two standard introduction labs (LUM and POR) and then a full CURE. This was the second time I ran this CURE (the first was Spring 2024).
The CURE is being published as a multi-institution ACS Symposium Series Chapter in 2026, and the materials from the CURE will be hosted in a collection on VIPEr.
Once the chapter is published, I will add the link to it in the description.
2026 Multi-institutional CURE in Inorganic Chemistry
Kyle Grice / DePaul University
Tue, 03/17/2026 - 12:40
This collection is of LOs related to the Multi-Institutional CUREs developed by the authors.
