Here, we present a fast, effective, and sustainable route for coupling diverse alcohols, amines and amides with CO<sub>2</sub> via heterogenization of a natural metal-based homogeneous catalyst through decorating on functionalized graphene oxide. Combined synthetic, experimental, and theoretical studies unravel mechanistic routes to convergent 4‑electron reduction of CO<sub>2</sub> under mild conditions.</p> Tue, 24 Sep 2024 18:48:36 +0000 rachel.dermo@mcgill.ca 1651 at /chemistry /chemistry/channels/event/chemical-society-seminar-carla-spina-exploring-ligand-dependent-signal-transduction-transform-358413 <h2>Abstract:</h2> <h2> </h2> <h2> </h2> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> Thu, 15 Aug 2024 19:14:21 +0000 rachel.dermo@mcgill.ca 1641 at /chemistry /chemistry/channels/news/thomas-c-preston-awarded-grant-alfred-p-sloan-foundation-360110 <p><i>Funding to support research on atmospheric aerosol particles and the emergence of life on Earth</i></p> <p> </p> <p>Professor Thomas C. Preston -- jointly appointed to the departments of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences and Chemistry -- has been awarded a grant of USD$800,000 by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. The grant will support Professor Preston’s research on atmospheric aerosol particles, with the goal of advancing understanding of the origin of life's building blocks on early Earth.</p> Fri, 27 Sep 2024 15:20:42 +0000 admin 1654 at /chemistry /chemistry/channels/event/chemical-society-seminar-robert-gilliard-uncommon-bonds-boron-heterocycles-odd-electron-molecules-358412 <h2>Abstract:</h2> Thu, 15 Aug 2024 19:13:11 +0000 rachel.dermo@mcgill.ca 1640 at /chemistry /chemistry/channels/news/highly-functionalized-all-cellulose-nanocomposites-bacteria-enabled-situ-modifications-359562 <p>Dr. Seyed Mohammad Amin Ojagh, from Prof. van de Ven's research group and his colleagues, introduced a novel class of highly functionalized nanocellulose-based materials for diverse applications, recently published in the Chemical Engineering Journal. This study involved the in-situ modification of bacterial cellulose (BC) with hairy nanocellulose (HNC), resulting in nanocomposites with enhanced physicochemical properties compared to BC alone.</p> Thu, 12 Sep 2024 13:28:23 +0000 rachel.dermo@mcgill.ca 1650 at /chemistry /chemistry/channels/event/chemical-society-seminarphilippe-dauphin-ducharme-nucleic-acids-electrochemical-biosensors-point-358411 <h2>Abstract:</h2> <h2> </h2> Thu, 15 Aug 2024 19:11:09 +0000 rachel.dermo@mcgill.ca 1639 at /chemistry /chemistry/channels/event/chemical-society-seminar-ive-hermans-role-heterogeneous-catalysis-defossilization-chemical-industry-358230 <h2>Abstract:</h2> Tue, 06 Aug 2024 14:09:42 +0000 rachel.dermo@mcgill.ca 1637 at /chemistry /chemistry/channels/event/chemical-society-seminar-gabriela-schlau-cohen-358420 <h2>Abstract:</h2> <h2> </h2> <h2> </h2> <h2> </h2> <p> </p> <p> </p> <h2> </h2> <h2> </h2> <h2> </h2> <h2>Bio:</h2> Thu, 15 Aug 2024 19:21:40 +0000 rachel.dermo@mcgill.ca 1648 at /chemistry /chemistry/channels/event/chemical-society-seminar-corey-stephenson-358419 <h2>Abstract:</h2> <h2> </h2> <h2> </h2> <h2> </h2> <p> </p> <h2> </h2> <h2> </h2> <h2>Bio:</h2> Thu, 15 Aug 2024 19:20:46 +0000 rachel.dermo@mcgill.ca 1647 at /chemistry /chemistry/channels/event/chemical-society-seminar-christophe-lachance-358418 <h2>Abstract:</h2> <h2> </h2> <h2> </h2> <h2> </h2> <h2> </h2> <h2> </h2> <h2>Bio:</h2> Thu, 15 Aug 2024 19:19:40 +0000 rachel.dermo@mcgill.ca 1646 at /chemistry /chemistry/channels/event/chemical-society-seminar-hans-renata-358417 <h2>Abstract:</h2> <h2> </h2> <h2> </h2> <h2> </h2> <h2> </h2> <h2> </h2> <h2> </h2> <h2> </h2> <h2>Bio:</h2> Thu, 15 Aug 2024 19:18:46 +0000 rachel.dermo@mcgill.ca 1645 at /chemistry /chemistry/channels/event/chemical-society-seminar-kevin-kubarych-358416 <h2>Abstract:</h2> <h2> </h2> <h2> </h2> <h2> </h2> <p> </p> <h2> </h2> <h2> </h2> <h2> </h2> <h2>Bio:</h2> Thu, 15 Aug 2024 19:17:54 +0000 rachel.dermo@mcgill.ca 1644 at /chemistry /chemistry/channels/event/chemical-society-seminar-alex-deiters-358414 <h2>Abstract:</h2> <h2> </h2> <h2> </h2> <h2> </h2> <p> </p> <h2> </h2> <h2> </h2> <h2>Bio:</h2> Thu, 15 Aug 2024 19:15:21 +0000 rachel.dermo@mcgill.ca 1642 at /chemistry
