  • Call for Papers | 2022 MRS Spring Meeting
    Symposium CH01: Frontiers of In Situ Materials Characterization—From New Instrumentation and Method to Imaging Aided Materials Design Advancement in synchrotron X-ray techniques, microscopy and spectroscopy has extended the characterization capability to study the structure, phonon, spin, and electromagnetic field of materials with improved temporal and spatial resolution. This symposium will cover recent advances of in situ imaging techniques and highlight progress in materials design, synthesis, and engineering in catalysts and devices aided by insights gained from the state-of-the-art real-time materials characterization. This program will bring together works with an emphasis on developing and applying new methods in X-ray or electron diffraction, scanning probe microscopy, and other techniques to in situ studies of the dynamics in materials, such as the structural and chemical evolution of energy materials and catalysts, and the electronic structure of semiconductor and functional oxides. Additionally, this symposium will focus on works in designing, synthesizing new materials and optimizing materials properties by utilizing the insights on mechanisms of materials processes at different length or time scales revealed by in situ techniques. Emerging big data analysis approaches and method development presenting opportunities to aid materials design are welcomed. Discussion on experimental strategies, data analysis, and conceptual works showcasing how new in situ tools can probe exotic and critical processes in materials, such as charge and heat transfer, bonding, transport of molecule and ions, are encouraged. The symposium will identify new directions of in situ research, facilitate the application of new techniques to in situ liquid and gas phase microscopy and spectroscopy, and bridge mechanistic study with practical synthesis and engineering for materials with a broad range of applications.

Pérez-Temprano Intramolecular C(sp3)–H Bond Amination Strategies for the Synthesis of Saturated N-containing Heterocycles Jiayu Zhang and Mónica H. Pérez-Temprano*a Dedicated to the memory of Prof. Kilian Muñiz Abstract: The selective functionalization of C(sp3)–H bonds via intramolecular amination reactions represents a very attractive strategy for the construction of saturated N-containing heterocycles (SNHets). Over the past de- cades, the chemical community has devoted its efforts towards expanding the synthetic toolbox with the aim of facilitating access to these key fragments in a controllable, reproducible and efficient manner. This review covers selected examples of the most recent advances in intramolecular C(sp3)–N bond-forming reactions by three main approaches: (1) the Hofmann-Löffler-Freytag (HLF) reaction; (2) transition-metal-catalyzed nitrene C(sp3)–H inser- tion; and (3) transition-metal-catalyzed ligand-assisted C(sp3)–N bond-forming reactions via a reductive elimina- tion step. We will discuss reactivity, selectivity and the major mechanistic insights into these transformations.

Well-defined, functional group tolerant catalysts have allowed these advances. A discussion of the evolution of mechanistic understanding and early catalyst developments is followed by a description of recent advances in ruthenium based olefin metathesis catalysts. Catalysts improvements have led to new applications in ring closing metathesis, cross metathesis and materials synthesis. q 2004 Published by Elsevier Ltd. As with most catalytic processes, olefin metathesis was Chauvin proposed a new mechanism to explain a surprising found by accident. It was discovered as an outgrowth of the set of observations.7 He observed that in some cases where a study of Ziegler polymerizations with alternate metal pair-wise mechanism such as the ‘quasicyclobutane’ systems.1 By the late 60’s, the Phillips group developed a mechanism, predicted only the two olefins resulting from commercial process—the triolefin process—and made the pair-wise exchange of the two ends of the stating olefins, the scientific community aware of this unique reaction.2 My olefins resulting from cross products were observed very introduction to olefin metathesis occurred during a group early in the reaction.

    Iron-Catalyzed Oxidation in Metal Organic Frameworks Thesis by Raymond John Strobel In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Chemistry University of Michigan Ann Arbor, Michigan 2014 Thesis Advisor: Professor Melanie Sanford DEDICATION To my mother and father, Susan and Stephen Strobel, for their unconditional love and support -- And -- To Dr. Doug Genna, for his invaluable mentorship, guidance, and friendship. i ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I thank Professor Melanie Sanford for investing so much of her time and energy in my growth as an aspiring research scientist. Belonging to and working in your laboratory has been the single greatest honor of my undergraduate career at Michigan; what a thrill it was to be mentored by a MacArthur fellow (and a fellow Rhode Island native at that)! Your leadership as a principle investigator continues to inspire and impress me. You empower your students to realize their full potential, and take a genuine interest in their personal well-being. The unwavering passion you have for your chemistry, and for conducting research of the highest standards, is contagious. As a student in your lab, you gave me a high reputation to live up to. In my moments of weakness, you found opportunities for growth, not condemnation. As I begin my new journey as an aspiring physician-scientist, I look to your example for guidance. I wish you and your family the best of health and happiness in the years to come! Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote that, “Our chief want in life, is, somebody who shall make us do what we can.
