SUMMARY:ACESS Joint Societies Event - Sponsored by 3 ACS Sections
DESCRIPTION:Cleveland Poison Symposia – The Dark Side of Chemistry\nNickname: Arsenic Bar Crawl \nLocation 1: “Spirits of Willoughby” 6:00 PM (Spirits has a huge parking lot)\nSpeaker 1: Mike Fricke\, Akron ACS “Introduction to Arsenic”\nSpeaker 2: Mike Kenney Contact\, Cleveland ACS “Arsenic Poisoning” \nLocation 2: “Nora’s Public House” 7:30 PM (0.2 mile walk from Spirits)\nSpeaker 3: Kevin Kubachka\, US FDA “Arsenic in Foods”\nSpeaker 4: Abe Gutierrez\, Agilent “Arsenic Analysis by ICP-MS” \nLocation 3: “The Wild Goose” 9:00 PM (0.1 mile walk from Nora’s)\n(Invited) Speaker 5: Reid Kirby\, Z-Day Center “Before Manhattan: The Dew of Death”\n(Invited) Speaker 6\, Melissa Tedone\, U of Delaware “The Poison Book Project”\nhttp://wiki.winterthur.org/wiki/Poison_Book_Project \nNotes from Mike Fricke: A little more about Reid Kirby\, who’s abstract is in this chain. I gave a presentation to the Cleveland ACS Section in Jan 2020 about the Cleveland Mousetrap (just before the pandemic started). This is America’s 1918 chemical weapons facility that was built in Willoughby and likely the first WMD factory in the world. Here’s a good primer on the site:\nhttps://blog.nuclearsecrecy.com/2014/01/17/conants-war-inside-mouse-trap/. \nOur current bar crawl event will roughly follow the route that the Mousetrap soldiers took three times a day as they walked into Willoughby for their meals. For this event\, I wanted to find an authority to speak about the Mousetrap. This proved difficult as local historians: John Grabowski and Alan Rocke were unfamiliar with the story. I contacted authors who have written about the Mousetrap and came up empty. Finally\, I contacted the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) which won the 2013 Nobel Peace Prize. Eventually\, I made contact with Alastair Hay with Physicians for Human Rights (2105 Hague Award and Order of the British Empire). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alastair_Hay. Alastair Hay put me in touch with Reid Kirby who is very familiar with our Willoughby site and has even held in his hands the infamous black book of notes that Jim Conant kept while building the site. \nMore details to be announced

SUMMARY:ACS - Akron Section Award
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Prashant K. Jain\, G.L. Clark Professor of Physical Chemistry\nUniversity of Illinois Urbana-Champaign \nAfternoon – Technical Lecture\nCatalysts Dressed in Light\n3:00 PM at The University of Akron\, Mary Gladwin Hall 111 \nEvening Program – Akron Section Award Lecture\nKent State University\, Integrated Science Esplanade Commons\n5:30 PM   Networking\n6:30 PM   Dinner\n7:00 PM   Lecture (open to the public) \nDinner Reservations:  RSVP at akronacs.org\n$30 for members / public  and  $10 for students \nDr. Prashant K. Jain Bio: Prashant K. Jain grew up in Bombay\, where he completed his undergraduate education. He obtained his PhD working with M. A. El-Sayed at Georgia Tech\, following which he was a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University. After a Miller Fellowship at UC Berkeley\, he joined the faculty of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign\, where he is the G. L. Clark Professor of Physical Chemistry and a Professor in the Department of Chemistry and the Materials Research Laboratory. He is also a University Scholar and an Affiliate Faculty Member of Physics and the Illinois Quantum Information Science and Technology (IQUIST). Prof Jain’s lab specializes in nanoscale light–matter interactions and nanoscale chemical imaging. His research website is found at https://nanogold.org. \nAfternoon Abstract: Catalysts Dressed in Light. The interaction of light with molecules can be used to access new modes of chemical reactivity; however\, this interaction is often difficult to exploit in a universal manner. I will describe how plasmonics is proving to be a general strategy for interfacing photons with molecules and activating chemical transformations. This strategy involves heterogeneous catalysts comprised of plasmonic nanoparticles. Plasmonic excitation of the catalyst generates electronically and vibrationally excited states\, which modify chemical activity at the interface and even induce emergent activity. I will describe how catalysts based on plasmonic nanoparticles are allowing light to be used as a redox equivalent in chemical reactions\, for driving non-equilibrium chemical processes\, for modifying product selectivity\, for photosynthesizing fuels\, and for boosting electrochemical conversions. The ultimate vision is a future where plasmonic excitations can be used to power chemical transformations or direct them with bond-level precision. \nUpdates will be posted on akronacs.org.
