1093 Shelby Hall 250 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United States

Professor Loi Do from the University of Houston will present a seminar. Catalytic Agents to Detoxify Reactive Aldehyde Species Abstract Although the human body has natural defenses against reactive aldehydes species (e.g., α,β-unsaturated aldehydes, α-ketoaldehydes, dialdehydes, etc.), these systems are often impaired in patients with pathological conditions such as neurodegenerative disorders, cardiovascular diseases, or cancer. Reactive aldehydes species can disrupt living systems by alkylating nucleic acids, crosslinking proteins, and consuming essential antioxidants. Although there are currently no FDA-approved treatments for [...]

Professor Josh Figueroa Seminar – UCSD

1093 Shelby Hall 250 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United States

Professor Josh Figueroa from the University of California, San Diego will present a seminar. The Carbonyl-Isocyanide Relationship and Beyond   Abstract: Recent results concerning the synthesis and reactivity of low-coordinate transition-metal complexes featuring sterically encumbering m-terphenyl isocyanide ligands are presented. Given the isolobal relationship between organoisocyanides and carbon monoxide, these complexes serve as mimics of the unsaturated binary metal carbonyls. The latter have traditionally been studied in either the gas phase or by matrix-isolation techniques and, consequently, their condensed-phase reactivity [...]

Professor Kevin Noonan Seminar – CMU

1093 Shelby Hall 250 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United States

Professor Kevin Noonan from Carnegie Mellon University will present a seminar. Designing Conjugated Polymers and Macrocycles, A Case Study with Furan   Abstract In this talk, I will highlight some of our recent explorations into conjugated polymers and macrocycles which are of interest for organic electronic devices. I will focus on the benefits and opportunities which arise from using furan as a building block for conjugated materials since it is one of a few aromatics which can be derived directly [...]

Dr. Svetlana Kilina Seminar – NDSU

1093 Shelby Hall 250 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United States

Dr. Svetlana Kilina from North Dakota State University will present a seminar. Impact of Covalent Functionalization of Nanostructures on Their Optical Properties: Computational Insights   Abstract: "I will present current research of my group focused on computations of photo-excited processes at organic-inorganic interfaces in covalently functionalized nanomaterials, such as quantum dots (QD) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Recent focus on assemblies of the QDs functionalized by various organic and metal-organic dyes is dictated by their promise to serve as a key [...]
