SUMMARY:ACS Spring 2024: Many Flavors of Chemistry
DESCRIPTION:PHYS Division Symposia Programs for New Orleans!Many Flavors of Chemistry\nSpring 2024 National ACS Meeting.\nNew Orleans\, LA. March 17-21\, 2024\nThe Division of Physical Chemistry (PHYS) is hosting the following ten oral symposia\, consisting of both invited and contributed papers\, as well as a general poster session. Abstract submission will open on August 7 and close on October 2\, 2023. For those interested in an oral presentation\, please submit abstracts to the appropriate symposium via ACS-MAPS. For each symposium\, the organizers (listed below) will select some contributed papers for oral presentations; contributions not selected for oral presentations will be assigned to the poster session. \nOn-Line Abstract Submission Deadline: 2 October 2023!\nSymposia Programs!FULL ACS SCHEDULEProgram Chair:\nProf. Julie Biteen\nProfessor of Chemistry and Biophysics\nUniversity of Michigan\n930 N. University Ave.\,\nAnn Arbor\, MI 48109\ndownload cfp\nInformed Design of Quantum Dots and Quantum Dot Assemblies for Energy Applications\nThe design of quantum dot-based platforms for energy conversion\, energy storage\, or energy-efficient lighting is predicated on a deep understanding of the photophysical properties of quantum dots (QDs) as a function of their intrinsic characteristics (size\, composition\, shape) as well as extrinsic factors (surface/interfacial chemistry\, component integration). While experimental and computational studies have led to considerable progress in understanding the intrinsic behavior of simple QDs\, there is an urgent need to better understand how QDs interact with one another\, with the environment\, and with other functional components in order to design systems for energy conversion and related applications. This symposium will highlight how experimental and computational insights into QD chemistry and physics enable the design of functional structures based on just one QD or many. Topics will include photon and carrier dynamics in QDs and QD assemblies; tuning the energy landscape via surface or interfacial control; and design of photocatalysts\, solar cells\, and LEDs.\nStephanie Brock\, Wayne State University\, sbrock@chem.wayne.edu\nZhenfei Liu\, Wayne State University\, zfliu@wayne.edu\nJier Huang\, Boston College\, jier.huang@bc.edu \n\nRecent Progress in Theoretical Methods for Coupled Quantum Systems\nWhile quantum chemistry is most focused on describing electrons\, it is often important in chemical systems to describe non-electronic degrees of freedom such as nuclei\, photons\, or phonons using quantum mechanics. For many of these systems\, it is also essential to include accurate couplings between these degrees of freedom and the electrons. Examples of chemical phenomena where such couplings can be important include (1) nuclear-electronic dynamics and vibronic coupling; (2) polaritonic chemistry such as cavity quantum electrodynamics; and (3) electron-phonon couplings that affect the transport and thermodynamic properties of solids. Numerous theoretical methods to describe these phenomena have been developed. Despite the underlying similarities of the methods\, which all treat non-electronic degrees of freedom quantum mechanically while coupling them to the electronic degrees of freedom\, theoretical developments and researchers in different\nfields often remain isolated from one another. The goal of this symposium is to bring these different theoretical fields together for an exchange of ideas\, which will lead to collaboration and cross-fertilization among fields. A joint session on polaritons will be held together with the “Current Trends in Polariton Chemistry” symposium.\nKurt R. Brorsen\, University of Missouri\, Columbia\, kbrorse@missouri.edu\nYang Yang\, University of Wisconsin\, yyang222@wisc.edu\nSharon Hammes-Schiffer\, Princeton University\, sharon-hammes-schiffer@yale.edu \n\nCurrent Trends in Polariton Chemistry\nGrowing interest in modifications of chemical properties induced by coupling molecular excitations and optical cavities\, surface phonon-polaritons\, and plasmon-polaritons has produced a broad range of studies on the spectroscopy\, kinetics\, and thermodynamics of hybrid light-matter systems. However\, the relevance of several important polariton characteristics including the collective nature of strong light-matter coupling\, the role of classical and quantum mechanical phenomena\, and the reproducibility of key experimental findings remain open issues. This symposium will enable direct and critical communication between experimental\, computational\, and theoretical researchers working at different limits of polariton formation\, characterization\, and phenomenology to address these issues. This communication will help this fast-growing community better understand how to adequately compare and model similar\, yet fundamentally differing results across material and photonic platforms. The resulting advanced understanding will enable the polariton research community to accurately\ndetermine and predict the properties of molecular polaritons central to their ability to impact the future of chemical science. A joint session on theory will be held together with the “Recent Progress in Theoretical Methods for Coupled Quantum Systems” symposium.\nAdam Dunkelberger\, Naval Research Laboratory\, adam.dunkelberger@nrl.navy.mil\nRaphael F. Ribeiro\, Emory University\, Raphael.ribeiro@emory.edu\nJeff Owrutsky\, Naval Research Laboratory\, jeff.owrutsky@nrl.navy.mil\nAaron Rury\, Wayne State University\, arury@wayne.edu \n\nLiquid and Electrolyte Anomalies in Nano-Confinement:\nStructure\, Dynamics\, and Reactivity\nConfinement effects in water-filled inorganic nanopores have cross-cutting significance for water treatment\, catalysis\, separations\, energy storage\, corrosion/degradation\, and environmental sciences. Nanoconfinement of liquids leads to anomalous behaviors including fast ion transport\, higher proton mobility\, higher gas solubility\, and lower dielectric constants. The enhanced electrostatic interactions\, modified acid-base behaviors\, and peculiar hydrogen bonding structures pose challenges to traditional theories/approaches. Experimental techniques used to elucidate reactivity and dynamical processes are rapidly developing; however\, universal theoretical scaling relationships for reactivities\, capacitance\, ion-pairing\, ion-ion interactions\, and associated thermodynamic and kinetic properties remain to be established\, especially at finite salt concentrations. We postulate that ion solvation free energies constitute a key descriptor\, and that dielectric responses provide a\nunifying framework for predicting reactivities in water-filled nanopores. This symposium focuses on recent advances describing the structural/dielectric properties\, kinetics of reaction and transport\, and equilibrium states in inorganic nanopores developed by chemists\, physicists\, and geochemists to highlight emerging/synergistic research. It discusses future interdisciplinary research opportunities to illuminate nanoconfinement-driven changes to the physico-chemical properties of water which govern speciation\, reaction rates\, pathways\, and products in nanopores.\nMarialore Sulpizi\, Ruhr University of Bochum\, marialore.sulpizi@ruhr-uni-bochum.de\nAnastasia Ilgen\, Sandia National Laboratories\, agilgen@sandia.gov\nLouise Criscenti\, Sandia National Laboratories\, ljcrisc@gmail.com\nKevin Leung\, Sandia National Laboratories\, kleung@sandia.gov \n\nInnovative Teaching in Physical and Computational Chemistry\nThe current undergraduate physical chemistry curriculum has developed to span a wide range of topics. The traditional topics of thermodynamics\, kinetics\, and quantum mechanics have spawned a more intensive exploration of advanced and emerging topics such as statistical mechanics\, computational chemistry\, spectroscopy\, and advanced instrumentation. This symposium focuses on innovation in curriculum\, activities\, and best practices for teaching undergraduate physical\, computational\, and biophysical chemistry courses\ntechnically and creatively. This includes both lecture and laboratory courses. We particularly encourage submissions that discuss active learning pedagogies in physical chemistry including\, but not limited to\, course- based undergraduate research (CUREs)\, team-based learning\, inquiry-based learning\, and project-based learning. We also welcome activities that focus on data literacy including programming\, data analysis\, data\nvisualization\, and data science in chemistry. Submissions may discuss a particular activity for teaching physical chemistry or larger course- or program-level curricular innovations.\nAshley Ringer McDonald\, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo\, armcdona@calpoly.edu\nCharlisa Daniels\, Northern Kentucky University\, danielsc6@nku.edu\nConrad Jones\, Southern University\, conrad.jones@sus.edu\nTiffani Holmes\, Fort Valley State University\, holmest@fvsu.edu \n\nIn Honor of Gregory Voth’s 65th Birthday: From Quantum Dynamics to\nUltra Coarse-Graining\, and Everything in Between\nThis symposium will celebrate Gregory Voth’s impact on the field of physical chemistry on the occasion of his 65th birthday. Over the course of his career\, Voth has made seminal contributions to the development of theoretical and computational methodologies to further our understanding of important chemical and biophysical processes. This exciting symposium will bring a combination of both theoretical and experimental researchers to present cutting-edge research over a wide range of topics influenced by his work. These topics will span recent developments in theoretical and computational chemistry such as multiscale modeling\, including ultra- coarse-graining\, and quantum dynamics as well as interesting problems relevant to chemistry\, biochemistry\, biophysics\, and materials science (e.g.\, energy storage materials).\nJianing Li\, Purdue University\, li4578@purdue.edu\nRevati Kumar\, Louisiana State University\, revatik@lsu.edu\nDavid Reichman\, Columbia University\, drr2103@columbia.edu\nFrancesco Paesani\, University of California\, San Diego\, fpaesani@ucsd.edu \n\nVibrational Dynamics: Spectroscopy and Imaging\nThe fast dynamic and structural information uncovered by two-dimensional and one-dimensional vibrational spectroscopy and imaging has benefited our understanding of fundamental molecular insights in biological and material science systems as well as in a wide variety of other disciplines. While advances in experimental developments and theoretical approaches have each made contributions to vibrational spectroscopy and imaging\, the combined efforts from both sides have driven and will continue to push the boundaries of vibrational techniques that neither approach can achieve alone. This symposium will bring together experimental\, computational\, and theoretical scientists in the fields of vibrational spectroscopy and imaging to discuss issues central to these techniques to solve chemical problems. It aims to stimulate discussion between experimentalists and theorists to synergize their efforts to investigate complex problems.\nMatthew J. Tucker\, University of Nevada\, Reno\, matthewtucker@unr.edu\nDaniel Kuroda\, Louisiana State University\, dkuroda@lsu.edu\nAyanjeet Ghosh\, University of Alabama\, ayanjeet.ghosh@ua.edu \n\nChemistry of Ice\nWater ice is one of the most environmentally important materials. It plays a critical role in weather\, where it seeds many forms of precipitation\, affects climate\, and impacts geology and life in polar regions. The surfaces of ice have unique chemical and physical properties\, including the formation of a quasi-liquid layer due to surface melting\, and proton disordering inside the ice crystal. The hydrogen bonding network of water molecules governs ice nucleation processes and provides a unique platform for catalytic reactions\, particularly those involving stratospheric ozone depletion. Recent methodological advances in theoretical and experimental chemistry provide the ability to characterize the structure and dynamics of ice and have increased global interest in investigating the properties of ice across several disciplines. This symposium will focus on experimental and theoretical progress in our understanding of the structure and dynamics of the ice surfaces\, biological and abiotic ice nucleation\, and the chemistry of hydrates. This symposium will provide a platform for updates on the progress of each of these areas\, thereby stimulating collaborations and advancing our understanding of the chemistry of ice.\nJenee D. Cyran\, Boise State University\, jeneecyran@boisestate.edu\nJ. Daniel Gezelter\, University of Notre Dame\, gezelter@nd.edu \n\nPhysical Chemistry of Ionic Liquids\nIonic liquids continue to be the focus of intense research activity in many areas of chemistry\, including nanoscience\, biomaterials\, and separation technologies. Energy-related applications include batteries\, supercapacitors\, dye-sensitized solar cells\, separations of gases (CO2\, H2\, etc.)\, rare earth elements and spent nuclear fuel\, desulfurization\, biofuels\, fuel cells\, and catalysis. Ionic liquids encompass a very broad range of possible components\, affording a diverse combination of tunable properties for fundamental science investigations and practical applications that promote sustainability by enabling advanced technologies. This symposium will convene a community of experts in the physical chemistry and chemical physics of ionic liquids to discuss the continued expansion of ionic liquids research activity into many areas of science and technology. Since the mid-2000s\, physical chemistry has played a pivotal role in understanding how ionic liquids function\nby elucidating their structure\, dynamics\, phase and solvent properties\, etc. These advances have greatly benefitted the applications-oriented side of the ionic liquid community\, and changed the way we understand higher-temperature molten salts\, which are currently being intensely investigated for their use as heat transfer fluids in solar thermal power installations\, molten salt nuclear reactors\, and blankets for fusion reactors.\nEdward Maginn\, University of Notre Dame\, ed@nd.edu\nClaudio Margulis\, University of Iowa\, Claudio-margulis@uiowa.edu\nScott Shaw\, University of Iowa\, scott-k-shaw@uiowa.edu\nJames Wishart\, Brookhaven National Laboratory\, wishart@bnl.gov \n\nPhysical Chemistry of Molecular Electronics\nThe concept of using molecules as electronic components has been historically motivated by the miniaturization of integrated circuits in line with Moore’s Law. It is now recognized that molecular devices can demonstrate properties unique from those in conventional electronics\, resulting from quantum interference effects\, changes in molecular redox state\, and/or the immediate nanoscale environment. With robust and reproducible measurement techniques now established and great gains made in reconciling experimental and theoretical results\, attention has turned to the discovery of useful wires\, switches\, diodes\, and resistors – and how best to utilize them. This symposium will create a fertile ground for gathering a global cohort of researchers together to discuss the latest discoveries\, exchange ideas\, and develop collaborations and networks across four distinct\, yet strongly interconnected areas: single-molecule measurements\, large-area measurements\, theory\, and synthesis. Appropriate topics include\, but are not limited to\, single-molecule conductance experiments; large- area molecular electronic device characterization; first principles calculations of molecular charge transport; integrating molecules into functional circuits; and synthetic routes to molecular electronic components.\nMaria Kamenetska\, Boston University\, mkamenet@bu.edu\nTim Su\, University of California\, Riverside\, timothys@ucr.edu\nGemma C. Solomon\, University of Copenhagen\, gsolomon@chem.ku.dk\nMichael S. Inkpen\, University of Southern California\, inkpen@usc.edu\nZhenfei Liu\, Wayne State University\, zfliu@wayne.edu\nRyan C. Chiechi\, North Caroline State University\, rayn.chiechi@ncsu.edu \n\nPhysical Chemistry Poster Session\nContributions from all areas of physical chemistry are highly encouraged for the poster session. Multiple awards\nwill be given for exemplary work. To be eligible for the awards\, the presenting author must be a graduate or\nundergraduate student at the time of the poster presentation and must be present during judging.

Wolynes 70th Birthday Symposium: Peter Wolynes\, the D.R. Bullard-Welch Foundation Professor of Science and Professor of Chemistry at Rice University\, is a world-renowned leading scientist and inspirational role model. Prof. Wolynes’ pioneering work\, with its numerous brilliant and piercing insights\, has changed the thinking and direction of modern experimental\, theoretical\, and computational research in many different fields\, including protein folding and dynamics\, the glass transition\, and reaction dynamics\, among others. Covering an unprecedented range of topics\, his research has a unifying theme\, that of many-body physics emerging in complex free energy landscapes. In the spirit and recognition of Prof. Wolynes’ work\, this symposium will bring together theorists and experimentalists covering a wide range of research topics. \nDavid Leitner\, University of Nevada\, Reno\, dml@unr.edu \nVassiliy Lubchenko\, University of Houston\, vas@uh.edu \nGaregin Papoian\, University of Maryland\, gpapoian@umd.edu \nJin Wang\, Stony Brook University\, jin.wang.1@stonybrook.edu \nBin Zhang\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, binz@mit.edu \n\nExperimental and Theoretical Progress in Multidimensional Spectroscopy: Elucidating Charge and Energy Transfer in the Condensed Phase: Understanding and controlling the abilities of materials\, such as molecular aggregates\, solvated chromophores\, and nanomaterials to hold\, transport\, and guide energy is critical for next generation photocatalysts and energy conversion and storage technologies. Recent advances in multidimensional spectroscopies (such as two-dimensional electronic-vibrational spectroscopy and ultrafast X-ray-optical spectroscopies) have made it possible to capture excitation dynamics in a wide variety of materials with unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution. However\, interpreting these spectra remains a formidable challenge. To address this knowledge gap and provide a fully first-principles approach to modeling excited-state processes in the condensed phase\, recently developed theoretical methods aim to capture important components of the problem\, including couplings to nuclear motion\, environmental polarization effects\, and couplings between different excited states. In this symposium\, experimentalists and theorists will have the opportunity to present recent developments in novel multidimensional spectroscopies and the methods necessary to simulate\, interpret\, and predict these measurements.   \nTim J. Zuehlsdorff\, Oregon State University\, zuehlsdt@oregonstate.edu \nAndrés Montoya-Castillo\, University of Colorado\, andres.montoyacastillo@colorado.edu \nDavid Coker\, Boston University\, coker@bu.edu \n\nInnovative Teaching in Physical Chemistry: Undergraduate physical chemistry education spans a wide range of topics from traditional areas such as thermodynamics\, kinetics\, and quantum mechanics to advanced and emerging topics such as statistical mechanics\, computational chemistry\, spectroscopy\, and advanced instrumentation. This session focuses on innovative curricula\, activities\, and best practices for teaching undergraduate physical chemistry courses\, including both lecture and laboratory courses. We particularly encourage submissions that discuss active learning pedagogies in physical chemistry including\, but not limited to\, course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs)\, team-based learning\, inquiry-based learning\, and project-based learning. We also welcome activities that focus on data literacy including programming\, data analysis\, data visualization\, and data science in chemistry. Submissions may discuss a particular activity for teaching physical chemistry or larger course- or program-level curricular innovations. \nAshley Ringer McDonald\, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo\, armcdona@calpoly.edu \nElizabeth Thrall\, Fordham University\, ethrall@fordham.edu \nGrace Stokes\, Santa Clara University\, gstokes@scu.edu \nMark Hendricks\, Whitman College\, hendrimp@whitman.edu \n\nFrontiers of Structural Biology in Complex Environments: Decades of careful experimentation and analysis by biophysical chemists have formed a foundation for contemporary scientists to understand the structure and function of proteins in the incredibly complex environments of living organisms. Recent advances in experimental and computational approaches have made it possible to describe and predict the structure\, dynamics\, and interactions of biomolecular assemblies in complex environments in vitro\, in situ\, in cells\, and in the extracellular environment. Despite these exciting advances\, many challenges remain in integrating techniques and approaches that span multiple time and length scales\, and in understanding how atomic level changes drive functional biological outputs in the cellular environment. The symposium will bring together experimentalists and theorists who apply cutting-edge methods to determine the structure of biomolecules at or near atomic level precision in such environments. Speakers will discuss recent progress in the field and future challenges in the areas (1) atomic resolution studies of large complexes\, (2) biomolecular condensation\, (3) in situ studies in cell and cell-like environments\, (4) in vitro cellular environments\, and (5) biophysical experiments in multi-cellular environments. \nMatthew Eddy\, University of Florida\, matthew.eddy@chem.ufl.edu \nKendra Frederick\, University of Texas Southwestern\, kendra.frederick@utsouthwestern.edu \nDylan T. Murray\, University of California\, Davis\, dtmurray@ucdavis.edu \n\nBridging the Gap: Using Gas-Phase and Cluster Studies to Model the Dynamics of Complex Systems: The traditional methods of physical chemistry can unravel intricate details of chemical structure and dynamics\, but applying these tools to important problems in complex\, condensed-phase\, and strongly interacting systems remains a challenging frontier. Pioneering experimental and theoretical work continues to expand our toolkit\, enabling careful interrogation and interpretation of molecular dynamics and photoinduced processes in environments of increasing complexity. Gas-phase and cluster model systems remain invaluable as platforms for detailed experimental and theoretical studies to unravel key aspects of complex processes in such diverse fields as atmospheric and aerosol chemistry\, astrochemistry\, nonadiabatic dynamics\, ultrafast photophysics\, and energy sciences. This symposium will identify new challenges and directions in molecular dynamics and photochemistry for which gas-phase and cluster studies can have significant impact. We aim to bring together leading experts as well as early-career investigators beginning new work to stimulate discussion and foster collaborations spanning experiment and theory. \nMarissa Weichman\, Princeton University\, weichman@princeton.edu \nLaura McCaslin\, Sandia National Laboratories\, lmccaslin@gmail.com \n\nCharge Transfer and Energy Conversion at Interfaces and Defects: Many emergent technologies rely on understanding the dynamics of charge and energy transfer in materials. Some examples include solar energy conversion in molecular and solid-state systems\, plasmon-driven chemistry\, and spin-processes. Heterogeneities such as interfaces and defects have a large impact on such dynamics\, resulting in both desirable and undesirable outcomes. With the advancement of computational & experimental techniques\, new insight into these excited-state processes can be gained at short (fs) time scales and on the atomic scale\, and directly connecting simulation to experiment in materials whose properties are determined by defects and/or interfaces remains a significant challenge.  This symposium will bring together computational and experimental researchers in the field of charge transfer and energy conversion in nanostructured materials\, with a focus on defects and interfaces\, and emerging phenomena in this field\, such as strong couplings between light and matter and spin processes. The emphasis will be on new theoretical and computational methods developments\, the applications of simulation to real-world problems\, and cutting-edge experiments that drive the need for advances in theory.  \nPengfei (Frank) Huo\, University of Rochester\, huo@chem.rochester.edu \nBenjamin G. Levine\, Stony Brook University\, ben.levine@stonybrook.edu \nSahar Sharifzadeh\, Boston University\, ssharifz@bu.edu \n\nCarbon Separation and Capture at the Atomistic Level: Theory and Experiment: The increasing concentration of CO2 is impacting environmental degradation—notably in higher global temperatures\, rising sea levels\, increased ocean acidity\, and more extreme weather-related events. This symposium will bring together computational and experimental researchers who are actively exploring the physicochemical effects at the atomistic level that govern carbon separation and capture processes. This symposium will cover technologies that are based\, among others\, on direct air capture\, biomimetic processes\, ionic liquids\, porous materials\, and polymeric membranes. Contributions from diverse and interdisciplinary research areas such as spectroscopy\, simulations\, data sciences\, synthetic chemistry\, materials science\, and engineering are invited. The key role of intermolecular interactions of CO2 with functional units of amorphous or crystalline materials at both experimental and theoretical level will be a central topic in the symposium.  \nSheng Dai\, Oak Ridge National Laboratory\, dais@ornl.gov \nKonstantinos D. Vogiatzis\, University of Tennessee\, Knoxville\, kvogiatz@utk.edu \n\nNew Directions in the Physical Chemistry of Organic Semiconductors: To date\, progress in the field of organic semiconductors (OSCs) has been largely driven by intense interest in organic photovoltaics\, field-effect transistors\, and light-emitting diodes. However\, new research directions have emerged beyond such classical applications\, such as mixed electronic/ionic conductors\, thermoelectrics\, highly doped materials and stretchable/flexible thin films. These developments have uncovered new knowledge gaps that have risen to the forefront of the evolving OSC field. Questions about the coupling between electronic and ionic degrees of freedom\, the influence of microstructure on mechanical properties\, and quasiparticle transport in complex environments demand further attention. This symposium will highlight new directions in OSC materials research in both small molecules and polymers. The organizers will bring together experimental\, theoretical\, and computational communities to address current knowledge gaps and catalyze discovery of new ones in the design\, construction and performance of OSCs. \nAlexander L. Ayzner\, University of California\, Santa Cruz\, aayzner@ucsc.edu \nBenjamin J. Schwartz\, University of California\, Los Angeles\, schwartz@chem.ucla.edu \n\nThe Physical Chemistry of Co-translational Protein Folding: Protein folding has long been interpreted through the lens of in vitro refolding experiments on small proteins that conform to two- (or few) state models\, though this may be a poor model for how proteins fold in the cell\, which occurs cotranslationally on the ribosome. Translation makes folding an inherently kinetic phenomenon replete with irreversible steps\, and may be required for the folding of more complex ‘non-model’ proteins. This symposium will critically elucidate differences between protein folding in vivo compared to traditional in vitro refolding assays so as to shed light as to where our ‘received truths’ about protein folding might need to be reconsidered. It will also emphasize the important interplay between computation and novel experimental techniques to elucidate a complex process that is somewhat elusive to traditional methods in biophysical chemistry and structural biology. \nStephen D. Fried\, Johns Hopkins University\, sdfried@jhu.edu \nSilvia Cavagnero\, University of Wisconsin\, cavagner@chem.wisc.edu \nEdward O’Brien\, Penn State University\, epo2@psu.edu \n\nPHYSICAL CHEMISTRY POSTER SESSION  \nContributions from all areas of physical chemistry are highly encouraged for the poster session.  Multiple awards will be given for exemplary work.

SUMMARY:Astrocheminar Series - Jan 11th\, 2pm(est) 2023
DESCRIPTION:Michael C. McCarthy\nDeputy Director\, Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian \nRegisterEXTREME COMPLEX MIXTURE ANALYSIS IN SPACE AND IN THE LABORATORY – Michael C. McCarthy (Deputy Director\, Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian)\nOwing to its very high intrinsic resolution\, structural specificity\, and very wide instantaneous frequency bandwidth\, rotational spectroscopy is an extremely powerful tool to analyze complex mixtures in which potentially hundreds of distinct chemical species are simultaneously present. This situation is certainly true for interstellar molecular clouds and when non-specific production sources are used in the laboratory to generate molecules of possible astronomical interest. This talk will first highlight the complex carbon chemistry which has recently been discovered in TMC-\,1 a seemingly well-understood molecular cloud\, and discuss the conundrum it has created in our present understanding of low-temperature cloud chemistry. In a distinct but parallel effort\, the capability of producing information-rich wideband line spectra is now fairly routine in many laboratories\, in which spectral assignment — rather than acquisition itself — is often the rate-limiting step in analysis and discovery. To address this pressing issue\, we have developed open-source Python tools to streamline and automate large portions of the assignment procedure. For unassigned spectral features\, a powerful set of analysis tools\, including double-resonance microwave spectroscopy\, high-speed fitting algorithms\, and structural calculations greatly facilitate the identification of their carriers. In the second half of the talk\, the power of these new tools to analyze and identify entirely new molecules will be demonstrated starting with a benzene discharge given that aromatic chemistry now appears widespread in TMC-1 and other molecular clouds. Time permitting\, efforts to use machine learning algorithms to accelerate further the speed of analysis and assignment of broadband spectra will be discussed. Register for Zoom Link

SUMMARY:ACS Spring 2022 Bonding Through Chemistry
DESCRIPTION:ACS 2022 PHYS AWARDS SYMPOSIUM\nawards live schedule\nThank you to our sponsors: \n    \n\n\n\nPOLARITON CHEMISTRY: MOLECULES IN OPTICAL CAVITIES\npolariton Live schedule\nStrong coupling of spatially confined photons to the electronic and vibrational transitions of molecules causes the formation of cavity polaritons whose properties differ from those of each constituent. While researchers have elucidated some of the physical properties of cavity polaritons formed from molecules\, the changes induced in chemical processes by cavity polariton formation remain unclear and have begun attracting significant research interest in the physical chemistry community. This symposium addresses the possibility that the parameters of cavity polariton formation can provide a novel means to control chemistry.\nAaron Rury\, Wayne State University\, aaron.rury@wayne.edu\nJoel Yuen-Zhou\, University of California\, San Diego\, joelyuen@ucsd.edu\nWei Xiong\, University of California\, San Diego\, w2xiong@ucsd.edu \n\n\nTHE SYNERGY OF THEORY AND EXPERIMENT: A SYMPOSIUM IN HONOR OF PROF. JOHN F. STANTON\n\nlive schedule\nJohn F. Stanton\, the William R. Kenan\, Jr.\, Professor of Chemistry at the University of Florida’s Quantum Theory Project\, is a role model for physical chemists: an insightful theorist who has developed some of the most important quantum chemical models\, and who also works in close collaboration with an array of experimentalists pursuing some of the most challenging problems in molecular spectroscopy. In the spirit and recognition of Prof. Stanton’s work\, this symposium will bring together theorists and experimentalists pursuing the state of the art of molecular quantum mechanics.\nT. Daniel Crawford\, Virginia Tech\, crawdad@vt.edu\nAnna Krylov\, University of Southern California\, krylov@usc.edu\nJürgen Gauss\, Johannes Gutenberg-Universit t Mainz\, gauss@uni-mainz.de \n\nOPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES IN ULTRAFAST X-RAY SCIENCE IN CHEMISTRY: THEORY AND EXPERIMENT\nlive schedule\nUltrafast X-ray pulses have been increasingly utilized in recent years for interrogating electronic and nuclear structural dynamics in chemical systems\, ranging from molecules to nanoscale materials and biological systems. These new advances in experimental methods enable us to gain new insight into fundamental chemical events. Extracting structural dynamics from experimental results also demands advances in the theory and computation of X-ray signals. This symposium aims for a timely discussion on advanced developments and applications in the research field of experimental and theoretical X-ray spectroscopy and scattering.\nXiaosong Li\, University of Washington\, xsli@uw.edu\nNiri Govind\, Pacific Northwest National Lab\, niri.govind@pnnl.gov\nLin X. Chen\, Northwestern Univ. & Argonne National Lab\, l-chen@northwestern.edu\nAmy Cordones-Hahn\, Stanford University\, acordon@slac.stanford.edu\nMunira Khalil\, University of Washington\, mkhalil@uw.edu \n\nMULTISCALE CHEMISTRY AND DYNAMICS AT SURFACES AND INTERFACES\nlive schedule\nThe chemistry of surfaces and interfaces underpins critical processes in diverse fields of chemistry\, ranging from heterogenous catalysis and electrochemistry to soft materials and biological processes. There has been considerable development of new microscopy\, spectroscopy\, surface science\, and theoretical tools in recent years. The same techniques can probe crowded interfaces\, unite molecular forces and chemical reactivity\, and investigate dynamical surfaces that evolve as they catalyze chemical transformations. Because many of these breakthroughs have occurred in disparate and often siloed focus areas\, this symposium seeks to unite latest breakthroughs in the physical and chemical dynamics occurring at surfaces and interfaces across multiple length and time scales.\nSarah King\, University of Chicago\, sbking@uchicago.edu\nMatthew Gebbie\, University of Wisconsin – Madison\, gebbie@wisc.edu\nPatrick El-Khoury\, Pacific Northwest National Lab\, patrick.elkhoury@pnnl.gov \n\nNEW QUANTUM SOLUTIONS FOR QUANTUM SYSTEMS AND DEVICES\nlive schedule\nThe third quantum revolution has now arrived\, and it is important to ensure the availability of computing paradigms for rigorous assessment of proposals for next generation molecular- and material- qubits and for rigor in the design of quantum algorithms which are already focusing on down-folding of high accuracy methods. Requirements include coupled-cluster reliability at computational costs associated with density-functional theory and also the ability to accurately predict all couplings between electronic-\, spin-\, spinorbit\, vibrational- and isotopic- degrees of freedom. This symposium will discuss the full diversity of methods to better embrace the need for such quantum diversity\, and to understand how to efficiently account for both on-determinantal and multi-configurational effects.\nMark R. Pederson\, University of Texas at El Paso\, mrpederson@utep.edu\nLaura Gagliardi\, University of Chicago\, lgagliardi@uchicago.edu \n\nMEDIATION OF BIOLOGICAL PROCESSES BY MEMBRANES IN SPACE\, TIME\, AND FORCE\nMembranes Schedule\nMany clinically relevant biochemical processes\, including most signal transduction\, occur on membranes. The cellular membrane participates in these processes not only by providing a passive surface\, but also by mediating the molecular organization in time\, space\, and force. However\, the delicate nature of self-assembled lipid bilayer structures imposes substantial challenges as experimental platforms\, complicating the understanding of biological processes at the molecular level. This symposium will highlight recent advances in experimental and theoretical techniques\, particularly quantitative spectroscopic methods. Broad areas of interest include: spatiotemporal coordination of signaling events via macroscopic phase separation; membrane curvature; mechanical forces on membranes; chemical kinetics under physical modulation; protein-lipid interactions; metal ions and lipid interactions.\nJean Chung\, Colorado State University\, jkchung@colostate.edu\nYoung Kwang Lee\, San Diego State University\, youngkwang.lee@sdsu.edu\nNancy Levinger\, Colorado State University\, Nancy.Levinger@colostate.edu \n\nENERGY AND CHARGE TRANSFER AT NANOSCALE INTERFACES\nnanoscale schedule\nUnderstanding the fundamental factors that guide energy and charge transfer at nanoscale interfaces is crucial to the optimization of next generation energy devices\, catalysts\, and sensors. To this aim\, developing new experimental techniques that break the boundaries with which we can temporally and spatially resolve dynamics at nanoscale interfaces can reveal new insights into how to structurally design these interfaces to efficiently control the flow of energy and charge. In addition\, new theoretical approaches are necessary to address the interactions over multiple time and length scales. The primary goal of this symposium is to bring together spectroscopists\, microscopists\, theorists\, and other researchers working on problems wherein interfacial charge and energy transfer is critical.\nLibai Huang\, Purdue University\, libai-huang@purdue.edu\nSean Roberts\, University of Texas\, Austin\, roberts@cm.utexas.edu\nKatherine Willets\, Temple University\, kwillets@temple.edu \n\nNEW DEVELOPMENTS IN HYBRID QM/QM\, QM/MM\, AND FRAGMENTATION METHODS\nlive schedule\nModern quantum mechanical (QM) methods can provide accurate predictions of chemical phenomena\, in principle even more reliably than experimental measurements. However\, the steep computational scaling and memory/storage requirements of QM methods prevent their direct application to large systems of interest in real-life investigations\, including biological macromolecules and supramolecular assemblies\, phenomena in liquid phase and complex solid environments. QM simulations of complex molecular architectures rely on a clever partitioning of the system structure\, using hybrid (QM/QM or QM/classical)\, and fragmentation methods. This symposium will bring together national and international leaders in the development of hybrid and fragmentation methods to discuss the state-of-the-art capabilities of these approaches\, their current limitations\, and the future directions of the field.\nMarco Caricato\, University of Kansas\, mcaricato@ku.edu\nJohn Herbert\, The Ohio State University\, herbert.44@osu.edu \n\nBIOPHYSICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL DYNAMICS AND DIFFUSION\nlive shcedule\nThis symposium will address the latest advances in application and development in molecular and Brownian dynamics\, including simulations\, new methods\, and chemical physics.\nRommie Amaro\, University of California\, San Diego\, ramaro@ucsd.edu\nMichael Gilson\, University of California\, San Diego\, mgilson@health.ucsd.edu\nGiulia Palermo\, University of California\, Riverside\, giulia.palermo@ucr.edu \n\nPHYSICAL CHEMISTRY POSTER SESSION\nIn-Person PHYS Posters \nlive schedule\nContributions from all areas of physical chemistry are highly encouraged for the poster session (likely to be held Wednesday\, 23 March)\, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM. Up to six awards with monetary prizes will be given for exemplary work. To be eligible for the awards\, the presenting author must be a graduate or undergraduate student at the time of the poster presentation and must be present during judging.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Optical Properties of Novel Functional Organic and Inorganic Materials
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Theodore Goodson III\nRichard Barry Bernstein Collegiate Professor of Chemistry and Macromolecular Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan \nRegister in advance for Zoom Link:\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_nt7KIW9CRfqr8o6kNhGacw\nWatch on YouTube here.\nAbstract: Organic conjugated molecules for optical and electronic applications have received great attention due to their versatility and relatively low manufacturing costs. While there has been great improvement of light conversion efficiency in certain photovoltaic materials\, there still remain questions concerning the structural and inhomogeneity of the electron and energy transport processes. In this regard\, understanding the fast processes (fs) at a local level (nm) in these systems is crucial in the design criteria for better performance in optical and electronic applications. In this presentation\, the results of photo-physical dynamics of organic and inorganic light harvesting materials will be described. These materials have been analyzed using time-resolved absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy and microscopy as well as a nonlinear and quantum optical spectroscopy. Ultra-fast interferometric microscopic measurements were carried out to investigate the role of coherent energy transport in these organic photovoltaic materials. The use of these methods provide insights in to the dynamics and degree of heterogeneity in novel organic materials for optical and electronic applications.
