John Gilbertson
Chemistry
Develop a class of ditopic receptors, metal complexes with two hydrogen-bond-donating sites near the metal, that capture and reduce nitrite and nitrate (NOx-), built on the redox-active pyridinediimine (PDI) ligand.
Gregory O'Neil
Chemistry
Develop stereoselective reactions using allyl organosamarium complexes, made from allylic benzoate esters or phenyl sulfones with samarium diiodide and water, to build stereogenic carbon atoms that are hard to make by other methods.
Catherine Clark
Earth & Environmental Science
Measure the composition and amount of dissolved organic matter (DOM) exported from a salt marsh into the Padilla Bay estuary across tidal cycles and seasons, using spectroscopy, dissolved organic carbon and water-flow measurements.
