Chemistry Department Seminar: Alex Miller
Volume 21, Number 9from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, “Cation-Responsive Pincer-Crown Ether Complexes for Tunable Catalysis”.
Friday, November 11th, 2016
3:30 / Olin 04
Catalyst performance is often regulated by substrate binding to a transition metal center, but control over substrate binding remains elusive. We are harnessing interactions between molecular catalysts and their environment to control organometallic catalysis. Incorporating a crown ether macrocycle into a robust pincer ligand enables the donor properties of such “pincer-crown ether” ligands to be tuned through cation-macrocycle interactions. Mechanistic studies of the dynamic interactions between catalysts, cations, and substrates provide an emerging picture of how cations can tune ligand substitution, oxidative addition, and migratory insertion in catalysis.

Chemistry Department Seminar: Margaret Tolbert
Volume 21, Number 8Colorado University-Boulder, “Every Drop Counts…Looking for Water on Mars”.
Friday, November 4th, 2016
3:30
Olin 04Mars is a cold, dry planet where pure liquid water is not stable. However, recent observations of “recurring slope lineae” (RSL) on Mars may be evidence of current liquid water flows. Several different hygroscopic salts are known to exist in the Martian soil, and deliquescence of those salts could provide small amounts of liquid water temporarily. Our research group uses Raman microscopy and an environmental cell to probe the conditions under which such liquid brines can form and persist under low Martian temperatures. I will discuss the brine-forming ability of several different Mars-relevant salts and salt mixtures, as well as the potential habitability or toxicity of these aqueous solutions to bacterial spores. I will also discuss the results of experiments we have done on salty sediment samples from the Dry Valleys of Antarctica, the only terrestrial analog site for the Martian RSL.

Chemistry Department Seminar: Brian Leonard
Volume 21, Number 7University of Wyoming, presents “Synthesis of Metal Carbide Nanomaterials for Renewable Energy”
Friday, October 28th, 2016
3:30 – 5:00 pm / Olin 04Transition metal carbide compounds are an interesting class of materials that possess some of the highest melting points and hardness values of all known compounds. These materials are also being sought for precious metal free catalysis due to their abundance, low cost and high stability in extreme environments. Metal carbides have shown similar activity to platinum in some catalytic reactions, however their synthesis typically involves very high temperatures and thus limits exploratory investigations as well as particle sizes. We are developing several low temperature methods to synthesis these refractory materials at temperatures several hundred degrees lower than traditional methods. Through these low temperature methods, we have been able to synthesize several phases as nanomaterials including metastable and rare phases that have been largely ignored due to their difficult synthesis. Finally, these metal carbides have been shown to be promising catalysts for water splitting reactions with high activity and great stability.
