Description:About the Seminar\n\nPorous framework materials\, including met
 al-organic frameworks (MOFs)\, are highly tunable materials with myriad po
 tential applications ranging from chemical separations to gas storage to c
 atalysis. This is due to the unusual local environment offered by their po
 res. Herein we will discuss how this tunability can be used to unlock new 
 reactive species relevant to organic synthesis and catalysis\, focusing on
  fluorination chemistry\, which is critical to the pharmaceutical\, polyme
 r\, and agrochemical industries. We will also draw inspiration from organi
 c chemistry for the design of new chemical separations and electrocatalyti
 cally active materials.\n\nAbout the Speaker \n\nPhill graduated from Ham
 ilton College in 2010 with B.A.s in Chemistry and Mathematics\, and went o
 n to pursue his Ph.D. in Chemistry with Prof. Stephen Buchwald at the Mass
 achusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). In the Buchwald group\, Phill car
 ried out extensive mechanistic studies of the Pd-catalyzed fluorination of
  aryl (pseudo)halides\, a reaction of importance due to the prevalence of 
 aryl fluorides in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Phill also developed 
 the nearly instantaneous 11C-cyanation of aryl halides for the synthesis 
 of PET radiotracers. As a post-doctoral Fellow in the Jeffrey Long group a
 t the University of California\, Berkeley\, Phill designed amine-functiona
 lized metal–organic frameworks for the removal of CO2 from the flue gas 
 emissions of power plants. In 2018\, Phill joined the Department of Chemis
 try and Chemical Biology at Cornell University\, where his research is foc
 used broadly at the intersection of organic\, inorganic\, and materials ch
 emistry. Phill is a member of the Cornell Center for Materials Research (C
 CMR) and the Cornell Energy Systems Institute (CESI)\, a Cornell Atkinson 
 Center for Sustainability Faculty Fellow\, and a field member in the Depar
 tment of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. Phill’s independent awar
 ds and honors include the NSF CAREER Award (2021)\, the Robert A. and Donn
 a B. Paul Award for Excellence in Advising (2021)\, being named a Scialog 
 Fellow (2020)\, the Department of Energy Early Career Award (2020)\, and t
 he NIH Maximizing Investigator’s Research Award (2019). 4:00 pm
