Courtney H. Deslauriers; Benjamin J. Knurr – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Experiments that explore quantum principles while utilizing and reinforcing previous synthesis skills are excellent for engaging students and promoting the interconnected nature of chemistry. This experiment utilizes sophomore-level organic synthesis techniques to have students produce their own "meso" substituted porphyrins. The UV-vis…

Philip P. Lampkin; Angie E. Xu; Brian J. Esselman; Cara E. Schwarz; Sebastian D. Thompson; Samuel H. Gellman; Nicholas J. Hill – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Synthesis of (Z)-alkenes is challenging because the (E) stereoisomers are usually more stable. Energy transfer photocatalysis has emerged as an efficient strategy for (E) [right arrow] (Z) alkene isomerization. We report the development of an advanced undergraduate laboratory experiment that introduces students to contemporary organic…
