ABSTRACT: FMC’s Agrochemical Discovery of a Novel Mode-of-Action Aryl Pyrrolidinone Anilide: A First-in-Class Herbicide that Inhibits Dihydroorotate Dehydrogenase Alison Levens, Ph.D. and Rachel D. Slack, Ph.D. FMC | An Agricultural Sciences Company, Stine Research Center, Newark, Delaware, 19711 Feeding the growing global population has become one of the greatest concerns of the 21st century. Crop […]
Dr. Justin Lee, Yale Abstract: Metal ions are ubiquitous in biology & materials and aid in facilitating many chemical transformations. For instance, iron–oxido and –hydroxido species are proposed to be key intermediates in oxidative processes catalyzed by non-heme iron proteins. To investigate the properties of both mono- and bimetallic cores, I have developed a symmetric […]
Dr. Suman Gunasekaran, Cornell Investigating molecules in strongly interacting electronic and photonic environments Abstract: When molecules strongly couple to external electronic or photonic states, new hybrid systems emerge with novel chemical and physical properties. In the first part of my talk, I will present experimental and theoretical results probing molecular junctions, which comprise a single […]
Professor Gary Pielak , University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill Abstract and bio to come
Dr. Grace Panetti, Princeton Combining photophysics and inorganic synthesis to target small molecule activation and production: From methane to ammonia The transformation of small molecules into more valuable and complex materials represents a persistent challenge of chemistry. Often the activation of these small molecules, such as methane and dinitrogen, is made difficult due to both […]
Congratulations to Dr. David Goldberg who has been awarded the ACS 2023 Maryland Chemist of the Year for his outstanding contributions to inorganic chemistry. “Heme and Nonheme Transition Metal Centers: Synthetic Biomimetic Complexes for Small Molecule Activation, Mechanistic Insights, and Catalysis”Small molecule activation by transition metal centers is at the heart of chemistry and biology. […]
Dr. Bryan Changala, Harvard Abstract: Molecules are amongst the most complex objects that can be controlled and studied at the individual quantum state level. In this talk, I will introduce some of the extraordinary advances made in the last decade by the application of AMO physics tools, including cavity-enhanced optical frequency comb and microwave techniques, […]
