Drug discovery in academia
The process of drug discovery in academia will be discussed with selected examples of chemistry-biology collaborations, including at least one success story..... Read More
Valorizing lignin by base and metal catalysis
With the goal to valorize lignin, various degradation strategies have been applied. They include base-catalyzed cleavage reactions in dimethyl carbonate and oxidative processes under iron, copper, and vanadium catalysis. In order to avoid the use of .... Read More
Beer, a bordello, and a barrister
Within the glow of New Orleans’ historic red-light district, come learn what a forgotten Jim Crow era bordello poisoning has in common with a notorious unsolved murder of the Victorian era..... Read More
Using thermogravimetric analysis and X-ray data to determine how water is bonded in seven coordinate complexes
Thermogravimetric data was compared to X-ray crystallography data to determine the bonding modes of water in seven coordinate transition metal complexes..... Read More
Synthesis of 1,2-dihydroisoquinolines
A copper-catalyzed multicomponent reaction of tosyl azide, terminal alkynes and various nucleophiles have been explored in the synthesis of 1,2-dihydroisoquinolines..... Read More
New strategies and methods in the synthesis of natural products
New strategies and methods for the synthesis of terpenoid and polyketide natural products will be discussed..... Read More
Carbohydrate chemistry in the service of anti-infective drug discovery
This lecture will cover recent advances in the Crich group on the design and development of new and improved aminoglycoside antibiotics for the treatment of multidrug resistant infectious diseases..... Read More
Climate change mitigation: Is it too late to recover?
The talk is an overview of integration of the projected warming the earth is likely to experience in the decades ahead, the emission reductions that may be needed to constrain this warming, and the technologies needed to help achieve these emission r.... Read More
Metal-free controlled polymerizations
The allure of metal-free polymerizations allows for a high degree of control over molecular weight and polydispersity under mild conditions. In addition the lack of metal catalysts permits a wider range of functional groups to be employed and signifi.... Read More
Advanced wood nanostructures for solar water
I will focus on wood nanostructures toward energy water nexus including the following technological areas:
Solar steam generation for water desalination;
3D wood membrane for waste water filtration (removal of heavy metals and organic waste);.... Read More
Upcoming international conferences in chemistry education in 2018
This presentation will inform what and where the chemistry education conferences are occurring in 2018. Information about travel options, grants, and scholarships will be also discussed..... Read More
Pyrrolidine ring formation through the Michael addition of haloethylamines to beta-nitrostyrenes
Problems with and approaches to the preparation of arylnitropyrrolidinones through the Michael addition of haloethylamines to beta-nitrostyrenes will be discussed..... Read More
Money return on investment
Energy Return on Investment (EROI) refers to how much energy and money is returned from one unit of energy invested in an energy-producing activity. It is a critical parameter for understanding and ranking different fuels..... Read More
Photocatalytic conversion of natural gas
In this invited talk, I will present our promising results for highly efficient visible light photocatalytic conversion of methane to syngas (hydrogen and CO), including CO2 reforming of methane and steam reforming of methane..... Read More
Durable coatings with low ice adhesion
Various strategies have been explored to mitigate ice adhesion to surfaces but the challenge of creating durable polymeric coatings with low ice adhesion remains. The current state of work toward polymeric thermoset coatings that are both durable and.... Read More
Energy return on investment: Problems and solutions
