"Spectroscopic Characterization of Unique Iron and Copper Active Sites in Biology" Iron and copper ions are ubiquitous in nature and serve a variety of important biological functions. The first part of my talk will focus on oxoiron(V) species, which are... Read More

Guest Seminar – Dr. Andy Nguyen – Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory – Deciphering Oxygen – Evolution Catalysis with Synthetic Metalloclusters

Chemistry Room 170 3210 N. Cramer Street, Milwaukee, WI, United States

"Deciphering Oxygen-Evolution Catalysis with Synthetic Metalloclusters" Abstract Natural and artificial photosynthesis relies on the highly endergonic oxidation of water to dioxygen (the oxygen-evolution reaction or OER) to store solar-derived energy. Multimetallic motifs like the cofactor of photosystem II and heterogeneous... Read More
