This literature discussion involves various aspect of organometallic chemistry ranging from synthesis, reactions, symmetry, NMR and IR spectroscopy of organometallic compounds as well as catalysis.
Students are asked to read the article published in Angewandte Chime, and answer the questions from the worksheet. Students later discuss their answers with the entire class.
This Friday Nov 12th at 4pm Eastern we welcome Dr. Ulrich Fekl from the University of Toronto Mississauga.
Join us on Thursday, October 14th at 4 pm EDT as Hailey Dannatt (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) presents "A mental health conversation: Warning signs, normalization, and responses". This is going to be a very different SLiThEr in terms of the topic and we anticipate it will be of interest to people from outside of the IONiC community.
Please join us for our next SLiThEr as Dr. Mitch Anstey (Davidson College) takes us through his successes and challenges in “Mitch Learns about Alternative Grading. Join us for a discussion on alternative grading techniques!
Hi everyone! Team SLiThEr has been hard at work putting together a schedule of SLiThErs for the fall semester and while I might be biased, I think we've done a great job. What's a SLiThEr? A roughly hour log online meeting in which we have a speaker present for 30-40 minutes and then a discussion. You can see our previous SLiThErs here. We are going to be covering a wide range of topics this semester that we think the community will really appreciate.
This article from Organometallics 2000 describes the use of Cp* amido titanium constrained geometry catalysts for the carboalumination of alkenes.
Please join us for our next SLiThEr as Dr. John Miecznikowski (Fairfield U.) and Dr. Tulay Atesin (UT, Rio Grande Valley) delve more deeply into their nanoCHAt discussion of "Getting Students Started and Continuing in Research". Join us for a discussion on successes, failures, and approaches to keeping students active in research.
SLiThEr #25 will be Thursday, August 19th at 3 pm Eastern Time (GMT -4). You can sign up to join the discussion here: https://forms.gle/o57jBb2ZnwRmHUHz9
This paper discusses the synthesis and characterization of a novel compound of nitrogen. The pre-discussion assignment asks students draw a Lewis structure for the N5+ cation, and using the tools of group theory, conduct a normal mode vibrational analysis, comparing the results to the experimental Raman spectral data.
This article describes the synthesis and characterization of ternary rare-earth gallium bismuthide, LaGaBi
