Chemical Society Seminar: John Hartwig-Catalytic Functionalization of C-H bonds in Small and Large Molecules with Small and Large Catalysts

The selective introduction of functional groups at the positions of typically unreactive C-H bonds has been a longstanding challenge in catalysis. To this end, our group has developed practical methods for the catalytic functionalization of C-H bonds with main group reagents.1-4 These studies have led us to a general strategy of installing a single transient functional group to form a range of products from one C-H bond functionalization reaction.

Feindel Brain and Mind Seminar Series: A Space MRI Prototype

The Feindel Brain and Mind Seminar Series will advance the vision of Dr. William Feindel (1918–2014), Former Director of the Neuro (1972–1984), to constantly bridge the clinical and research realms. The talks will highlight the latest advances and discoveries in neuropsychology, cognitive neuroscience, and neuroimaging.

Chemical Society Seminar: Carsten Bolm- Mechanochemistry: The use of mills in synthetic organic chemistry

IUPAC defines a "mechano-chemical reaction" as a "chemical reaction that is induced by the direct absorption of mechanical energy".1 We are using such activation in synthesis and catalysis, where it has proven beneficial.2 Selected recent examples from our group will be presented here.3

Chemical Society Seminar: Zhenan Bao- Skin-Inspired Organic Electronics

Skin is the body’s largest organ. It is responsible for the transduction of a vast amount of information. This conformable, stretchable, self-healable and biodegradable material simultaneously collects signals from external stimuli that translate into information such as pressure, pain, and temperature. The development of electronic materials, inspired by the complexity of this organ is a tremendous, unrealized materials challenge.
