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…

Hendel, Samuel J.; Young, Elizabeth R. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2016
Electrochemical analysis is an important skill to teach in chemistry curricula because it is a critical tool in current high-impact chemical research. Electrochemistry enables researchers to analyze a variety of systems extending from molecules to materials that encompass research themes ranging from clean energy to substrate activation in…

Escorcia, Dyanne; Passerault, Jean-Michel; Ros, Christine; Pylouster, Jean – Metacognition and Learning, 2017
We studied the processes involved in synthesis writing, focusing on planning, editing and self-regulation strategies. The aims of the study were a) to analyse the temporal distribution of cognitive strategies and self-regulation across the different phases of writing, b) to identify different writing approaches (i.e., profiles), and c) to…

Anderson, Bruce D.; Gordon, Christopher M. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2008
In this experiment, linear polyynes are synthesized and then the predictions of a one-dimensional, particle in a box are used to calculate the quantum mechanical box length for the polyynes. A solution of graphite in ethanol is irradiated with a Nd:YAG laser (532 nm) and the resulting solution is filtered and analyzed. Data from gas…
