Zeolites are essential catalysts in a range of important current processes, including petrochemical refining, automobile emissions reduction and fine chemicals synthesis, and much pioneering research was performed by JMT in understanding them. Their performance relates closely to their structure in a unique way, because active sites distributed throughout the catalyst…

The talk will present the development and impact of a range of capabilities including microscale and nano scale HTE, and high-throughput electrochemistry. Innovations in synthetic chemistry across modalities (small molecules to macrocyclic peptides) with a lens toward medicinal chemistry applications will be described. In addition, the development of chemistry reaction…
In this Webinar I will discuss the complexity associated with some Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions (e.g. in terms of Pd catalyst speciation and reaction outcomes). I will then describe how we have used the Chemspeed ISYNTH platform, in tandem with other techniques and methods, to examine a complicated Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling involving the reaction…

Closing the anthropogenic carbon cycle requires selective valorization of CO2 and efficient methods for capture and concentration from dilute streams. The first part of the talk will discuss the challenge of product selectivity in electrocatalytic CO2 reduction to renewable fuels. Desirable CO2 reduction products require proton equivalents, but key catalytic intermediates in CO2 reduction can…
