Most synthetically useful bond-activation and functionalization redox reactions rely on transition metal catalysts to facilitate 2e\u00e2\u0080\u0022 transfer over potentially competing 1e\u00e2\u0080\u0022 pathways, often sacrificing kinetic facility for selectivity. We have discovered new catalytic platforms that utilize redox-active \u0022non-innocent\u0022 ligands for unprecedented selectivity in low-barrier free radical reactions. This seminar will highlight our recent successes in applying this strategy for development of base metal C\u00e2\u0080\u0022C coupling catalysts, as well as preparation of well-defined metal oxyl radicals for O\u00e2\u0080\u0022X bond forming reactions relevant to artificial photosynthesis.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EFor more information contact \u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:charles.liotta@chemistry.gatech.edu\u0022\u003EProf. Charles Liotta\u003C\/a\u003E (404-894-8222).\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"Prof. Jake Soper, Georgia Tech\n\nThe Radical Fringe: Harnessing Non-innocent Ligands for Redox Control in Catalysis\n\nSchool Colloquia","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Prof. Jake Soper, Georgia Tech"}],"uid":"27275","created_gmt":"2011-08-02 00:00:00","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:50:49","author":"Shirley Tomes","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2011-09-22T17:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2011-09-22T18:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2011-09-22T18:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2011-09-22 21:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2011-09-22 22:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2011-09-22 22:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.chemistry.gatech.edu\/faculty\/Soper\/","title":"Prof. Jake Soper, Georgia Tech"}],"groups":[{"id":"85951","name":"School of Chemistry and Biochemistry"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"1809","name":"physical chemistry"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cstrong\u003EShirley Tomes\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EChemistry \u0026amp; Biochemistry\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.gatech.edu\/contact\/index.html?id=st81\u0022\u003EContact Shirley Tomes\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E404-894-0591\u003C\/strong\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
