Ipads In The Science Laboratory: Experience In Designing And Implementing A Paperless Chemistry Laboratory Course, Tiffany Hesser, Pauline Schwartz

Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Faculty Publications

In the fall of 2012, 20 General Chemistry Honors students at the University of New Haven were issued the new iPad 3 to incorporate these devices both in the classroom and the laboratory. This paper will focus on the integration of the iPad into the laboratory curriculum while creating a paperless experience, an environment where no paper would enter or be used for the laboratory over the course of the year. Specific apps were chosen that would allow for an easy transition of course materials into an electronic format. After a transition period for the students and instructor, the overall …

Metal ions play an essential role in the functioning of all biological systems. They interact with charged and polar groups of all biopolymers. The study of structural and functional properties of metal binding proteins is an important area of modern physical and chemical biology. Metal cations and metal binding proteins are involved in all crucial cellular activities. Many pathological conditions are correlated with abnormal metal metabolism. Encyclopedia of Metalloproteins is a key resource that provides basic, accessible, and comprehensible information about this expanding field.

Laser ablation of selected coordination complexes can lead to the production of metal-carbon hybrid materials, whose composition and structure can be tailored by suitably choosing the chemical composition of the irradiated targets. This 'laser chemistry' approach, initially applied by our group to the synthesis of P-containing nanostructured carbon foams (NCFs) from triphenylphosphine-based Au and Cu compounds, is broadened in this study to the production of other metal-NCFs and P-free NCFs. Thus, our results show that P-free coordination compounds and commercial organic precursors can act as efficient carbon source for the growth of NCFs. Physicochemical characterization reveals that NCFs are low-density …
