Description:About the Seminar:\nSynthetic iron-based catalysts that functio
 nally model iron dependent oxygenases are rare. Considering the large numb
 er of synthetic iron complexes\, why is this? We are taking a close look a
 t this question and\, in the process\, have come up with some design princ
 iples that are guiding our work towards developing synthetic iron-based ca
 talysts that use O2 as the oxidant. This work represents a major effort in
  our group towards sustainable chemistry by using earth abundant metals an
 d oxidants that are non-toxic.\nAbout the Speaker:\nDavid is a Colorado St
 ate Alum\, having received his BS in Chemistry in 2007 and worked with Pro
 f. Matt Shores before going to UC Irvine for his PhD. After completing his
  dissertation with Andy Borovik\, David left for Caltech to work with prof
 . Jonas Peters as an NIH Postdoctoral fellow. In 2015\, David started his 
 independent career at the University at Buffalo\, where he is now\, and is
  working toward sustainable chemistry by developing earth-abundant transit
 ion metal catalysts. 4:00 pm
