This is my 4th Donor Spotlight p. 12 G Alumni Update p. 13 year as chair of the Chemistry Department, and we are trying something new this year…a newsletter. We have wanted to do this for quite some time so that we can let our students and alumni know about the great things our department (faculty, staff, and students) has been doing, but pulling something like this together takes a lot of time. In addition, since we haven’t done a newsletter before, we really don’t know what we are doing. So, here is what we came up with! In this newsletter, we will give you some recent department news, updates from the faculty members, and some of our recent publications. The most important news of the past year is that we have broken ground on a new Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Building (termed the ISE). News about the groundbreaking ceremony HIGHLIGHTS can be found here: https://www.slu.edu/news/2018/october/ise- groundbreaking.php (yes, that is me wearing a hardhat, 6th person Starng new from the left; Dana Baum is 5th from the right), with a few more details undergraduate and here: https://www.slu.edu/news/announcements/2018/october/ise- graduate degrees in building-groundbreaking.php. This building will house many different Chemical Biology departments including parts of chemistry, biology, computer science, and engineering. We are moving our general chemistry, principles of New Interdisciplinary chemistry, and organic chemistry teaching labs to the ISE. Don’t worry, Science and Engineering we are also still in Monsanto and Shannon Halls. The vacated Building opening Fall 2020 teachings labs in Monsanto will be remodeled and turned into research 160 undergraduate majors labs so that we can finally have more research space. The building (24 graduang in 2019) should be open in time for classes in the Fall of 2020. We are excited 40 full‐me graduate to get our teaching labs into updated space, with fume hoods for students (recently everyone in organic! graduated 5 Ph.D. and 6 M.S. students ) Other big news is that we have started a new chemical biology and Over $1 million in grant pharmacology degree program, both at the bachelors and masters expenditures in FY 20, level. Prof. Marv Meyers (new faculty member in our department) is recent grant awards from leading this effort. As you probably know, chemical biology is the NSF and NIH (including 3 application of chemistry towards solving biological problems, and R01s, an R21, and an R15) pharmacology is the study of the action of drug molecules. A key 45 publicaons last year feature of this program is that students will not only take courses in chemistry but also courses from the Departments of Biology and (Connued on page 2) 1 (Connued from page 1) Pharmacology/Physiology, leading to a well-rounded come close to $1 million in grant expenditures. Just degree for students who want to continue their the past few months, faculty have received notices of studies in professional/graduate school or want to new grants that include an NSF grant, three NIH work in industry.

    Unit 1 – Atomic Structure and Nuclear Chemistry Introduction to the atom Modern Atomic Theory All matter is composed of atoms Atoms cannot be subdivided, created, or destroyed in ordinary chemical reactions. However, these changes CAN occur in nuclear reactions! Every atom has different properties from other atoms Ex: grinding down a gold ring Modern Atomic Theory Wait, it’s “only” a theory? Why are we learning it then? •A theory is a powerful term in science Theory -A set of tested hypotheses that gives an overall explanation of some natural phenomenon. Ex: Cell theory & Evolutionary theory We can now see atoms …sort of In 1981 a STM (Scanning Tunneling Microscope) was created. - We can see them and manipulate them. The Kanji characters for "atom." This image was formed by using the tiny tip of an STM to pick up individual atoms of iron and place them on a copper (111) surface. Nanotechnology is coming Atoms can be moved and molded to make various devices such as molecular motors Structure of the Atom Accessing Prior Knowledge 1. Based on your previous science classes, draw a generic atom and label where you’d find the nucleus, protons, neutrons, & electrons. 2.

  • Lunar Rock Chemistry Supports Big-Smash Theory Small Differences in Oxygen-Isotope Ratios Help Reveal How the Moon Was Formed
    NATURE | NEWS Lunar rock chemistry supports big-smash theory Small differences in oxygen-isotope ratios help reveal how the Moon was formed. Alexandra Witze 05 June 2014 NASA Most researchers believe the Moon formed after a protoplanet struck Earth 4.5 billion years ago. A minor chemical difference between Earth and Moon rocks could have big implications for theories about how the Moon was born. Moon rocks contain a tiny bit more of the rare isotope oxygen-17 than do the rocks on Earth, say geochemists who measured oxygen using very precise methods. “It changes the nature of the debate,” says Robin Canup, a planetary scientist at the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado, who was not involved in the study. “If the difference between Earth and the Moon is a small amount as opposed to zero, we need to know that.” Most researchers think that the Moon formed in the very early days of the Solar System, 4.5 billion years ago, when a large protoplanet smashed into the embryonic Earth. Debris from the collision mingled together and then settled into orbit around Earth, where it coalesced into the Moon. If that were the case, however, scientists would expect to see more of the remains of the original impactor in the Moon. The chemistry of Moon rocks would be different from that of Earth rocks. “The big question was always, why do we not see this difference, why are Earth and the Moon so similar?” says Daniel Herwartz, an isotope geochemist at the University of Cologne in Germany and a member of the study team.

  • CREEK VOICE: BEYOND VALENCY Jack B. Martin Within Chemistry
    CREEK VOICE: BEYOND VALENCY Jack B. Martin Within chemistry, VALENCY refers to the capacity of an atom or group of atoms to combine in specific proportions with other atoms or groups of atoms.1 The French linguist Lucien Tesnière is generally credited with introducing this term to linguistics, where it is used metaphorically for the capacity of a verb to combine with distinct arguments or valents (Crystal 1985). A verb like rain, which has no referential noun phrases associated with it, is said to be ZERO-PLACE or AVALENT; a verb like disappear, which takes only a subject argument, is said to be ONE-PLACE or MONOVALENT; verbs like devour and give are said to be TWO-PLACE (BIVALENT) and THREE-PLACE (TRIVALENT), respectively. This chemical metaphor has had a pervasive influence in linguistics: causative and applicative morphemes are now described as ‘adding arguments,’ while passives and middles are described as ‘suppressing’ or ‘deleting’ arguments, respectively. Entire sections of grammars are devoted to ‘valency-changing,’ ‘valency-increasing,’ or ‘valency-reducing’ processes, suggesting that the primary function of these grammatical processes is to regulate the number of arguments in clauses. The chemical metaphor contrasts with an older tradition that distinguishes just two classes of predicates—TRANSITIVE and INTRANSITIVE—and a category of VOICE. Passive voice and middle voice are seen within this tradition as altering the ‘point of view’ or ‘centre of interest’ (Jesperson 1924:167) within a clause rather than applying mathematical operations to it, and causatives and applicatives are sometimes included and sometimes excluded from the traditional range of voice-related phenomena.

  • Exploring the Chemistry of Methoxide with Oxygen Through Photoelectron Imaging Spectroscopy
    EXPLORING THE CHEMISTRY OF METHOXIDE WITH OXYGEN THROUGH PHOTOELECTRON IMAGING SPECTROSCOPY by Christopher Charles Blackstone Copyright © Christopher Charles Blackstone 2020 A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY AND BIOCHEMISTRY In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY WITH A MAJOR IN CHEMISTRY In the Graduate College of THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA 2020 THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA GRADUATE COLLEGE 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The pursuit of my PhD and the completion of the work in this dissertation was a long, often frustrating and arduous path. The support I had in completing it was invaluable, and I can say with certainty, that without the guidance, encouragement, and love of the people around me, the goal may have eluded me altogether. First, I must acknowledge the National Science Foundation, who funded this work. I would like to thank Professor Andrei Sanov, my research adviser. The open and welcoming discussions of group meetings—which were conducted without judgment so I could ask any question or make any proposal which occurred to me without embarrassment or regret—were invaluable in my learning about the methods we use, about chemistry and physics, and about the process of research in general. He gave me freedom to chase the projects which interested me, and to take them in the directions which most appealed to me, and joined me on even the most ambitious paths. But most importantly, he was present. He was always ready and willing to talk about anything which was bugging me; be it troubleshooting the instrument when it was down, making sense of data when their meaning was opaque, or encouraging and uplifting me during the many dark wells of plummeting confidence I fell into over the years.
