Departmental Seminar - Dr. Chuck Henry (CSU)
Departmental seminars are held weekly in Jones 006 on Fridays at 4pm, though location is subject to change.
Abstract: Point-of-need (PON) technologies have been a useful tool in medical and environmental diagnostics for decades with the handheld glucometer as a leading example. While significant advancements have been made, a major conundrum in many PON systems has been the tradeoff between assay performance (sensitivity, specificity, LOD, etc.) and ease of use. The simplest diagnostics require 1–2 user steps to achieve a result but lack the ability to detect low analyte levels. Increasing sensitivity to make tests useful at lower analyte concentrations would necessitate either added user steps or a significant increase in cost. Capillary-flow microfluidic devices have received significant attention as a tool to address current shortcomings in both medical and environmental testing because they are inexpensive, easy to use, and can perform a wide range of chemical and biochemical assays. Our group at…

Departmental Seminar - Dr. Christine Thomas (OSU)
Departmental seminars are held weekly in Jones 006 at 4pm, though location is subject to change.
Abstract: The formation and cleavage of chemical bonds in catalytic reactions relies on accessible redox processes that are often challenging for base metals such as first row and early transition metals. Bimetallic cooperativity provides a potential solution to this challenge. Leveraging dinucleating phosphinoamide ligands, a series of early/late heterobimetallic Zr/Co compounds have been synthesized and investigated. These frameworks have been shown to support metal-metal multiple bonds and facilitate redox and small molecule application processes. The many ways that metal-metal cooperativity can be incorporated into bond activation and catalysis will be showcased in two examples. First, the use of cobalt as a "redox-active metalloligand" for the appended redox-inactive d0 ZrIV metal site of a tris(phosphinoamide)-bridged Zr/Co complex can be used to promote oxidative group transfer and coordination-induced…
