Catalysis CURE Project in Capstone Lab Course

Submitted by Madalyn Radlauer / San Jose State University on 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

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

Submitted by Madalyn Radlauer / San Jose State University on Wed, 05/27/2026 - 17:16
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.

Intermediate Inorganic Laboratory with CURE SQ2025

Submitted by Kyle Grice / DePaul University on Wed, 04/29/2026 - 15:06
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. 

Moleculuar Computation and Visualization in Undergraduate Education (MoleCVUE)

Submitted by Kevin Range / Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania on Fri, 08/09/2024 - 13:01
Description

The MoleCVUE website contains several items that should be of interest to the VIPEr community, especially the activities.  Each activity is designed to be ready to deploy in lecture, laboratory, or as homework.  There are activities covering all of the major subdisciplines of chemistry (some more than others).  Some activities that might be of particular interest to VIPEr are "Group Theory", "VSEPR", and "Electron Configurations of Atoms and Ions".  All of the activities are written to use WebMO, but could be adapted for other systems.  Most activities are doable with the free or demo versi

Inorganic Chemistry

Submitted by Daniel Ashley / Spelman College on Thu, 06/22/2023 - 16:48
Description

Rigorous treatment of the chemistry of inorganic compounds, including structure, properties, and reactions, and their interpretation in terms of quantum chemistry, and solid state chemistry; analysis with modern instrumentation.

Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory

Submitted by Cody Webb Jr / SUNY Oneonta on Wed, 06/14/2023 - 02:02
Description

Students perform weekly laboratory experiments to explore and apply concepts covered in the lecture
component of the course.

Inorganic Chemistry

Submitted by Jaime Murphy / Harding University on Mon, 06/12/2023 - 11:04
Description

CHEM 4310 is an in-depth review of modern inorganic chemistry. Topics will include symmetry, acids and bases, reduction-oxidation reactions, periodic trends, coordination chemistry, organometallic chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, and material chemistry. The course will meet for three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week.
