Lau, Poh Nguk; Chan, Wen Loong; Li, Yuxuan – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
As part of COVID-19 preparedness, a student-developed, Android-based app was used as a pre-laboratory learning aid for a molecular modeling laboratory in a first-year general chemistry course. A worksheet activity with trigger codes and questions related to spatial features of transition metal complexes was designed. Using the Transition Metal…

Munukutla, Srikar; Bertoy, Alec; Rush, Stephen; Ramamoorthy, Ayyalusamy – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
The NMR spectrometer is a commonly used spectroscopic instrument that records resonance frequencies of nuclei present in molecular systems. While the NMR frequencies fall within the radio frequency regime for a given molecular system, they are presented in terms of chemical shifts in the audio frequency regime, thereby having the versatility to be…

Vieira, Hugo; Morais, Carla – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Scientific literacy is an important skill for students' success, given the characteristics of today's society. However, not all students have a natural predisposition toward science, chemistry in particular. Considering the relevance of transdisciplinary learning, schools should foster the scientific abilities for which students may have less…

Jablonka, Kevin Maik; Patiny, Luc; Smit, Berend – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Infrared spectroscopy (IR) is a staple structural elucidation and characterization technique because of its ability to identify functional groups and its ease of use. Interestingly, it allows the capture of electronic effects via their influence on the bond strength of "probes", such as the carbonyl group and also offers a wealth of…

O'Neil, Natalie J.; Scott, Star; Relph, Rachael; Ponnusamy, Ettigounder – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
A systems thinking approach to incorporating green chemistry and safety into laboratory culture is vital, as chemists will be at the molecular level of the innovative solutions to our global challenges. Training chemists to have the skills and culture to accomplish this feat in the safest way possible is pivotal to safe working conditions within…

Juszczak, Laura J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
One of the more difficult concepts introduced in the first-year undergraduate course, general chemistry, is that of chirality. Typically, left and right hands are the common, macroscopic objects of reference used to demonstrate the quality of being nonsuperimposable, followed by the use of a mirror and molecular models, to illustrate molecular…

Kallepalli, Samaya; Johnson, Lydia; Mattson, Bruce – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Thomas Graham discovered the law that bears his name while studying gas diffusion into air and other gases. He also found that the same relationship held with gas effusion, the movement of gases through a pinhole into a vacuum. Modern understanding of diffusion and effusion is based on kinetic-molecular theory, and it is generally accepted that…

Petrosko, Sarah Hurst; Coleman, Benjamin D.; Drout, Riki J.; Schultz, Jonathan D.; Mirkin, Chad A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Nanoscience and technology research offer exciting avenues to modernize undergraduate-level General Chemistry curricula. In particular, spherical nucleic acid (SNA) nanoconjugates, which behave as "programmable atom equivalents" (PAEs) in the context of colloidal crystals, are one system that one can use to reinforce foundational…

Echeverri-Jimenez, Emmanuel; Oliver-Hoyo, Maria – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Gaussian-2-Blender is an open-source application programming interface (API) written in Python that allows for the conversion of Gaussian input files to 3D objects of different formats. This new tool was developed in response to the shortcomings of available programs to import Gaussian calculations into augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality…

Seritan, Stefan; Wang, Yuanheng; Ford, Jason E.; Valentini, Alessio; Gold, Tom; Marti´nez, Todd J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Interactive molecular dynamics in virtual reality (IMD-VR) simulations provide a digital molecular playground for students as an alternative or complement to traditional molecular modeling kits or 2D illustrations. Previous IMD-VR studies have used molecular mechanics to enable simulations of macromolecules such as proteins and nanostructures for…

Chatterjee, Sourav; Moon, Sooyeon; Rowlands, Amanda; Chin, Fred; Seeberger, Peter H.; Merbouh, Nabyl; Gilmore, Kerry – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
While chemistry exists in three dimensions, it is presented in two. This down-conversion results in a significant loss in information and often necessitates multiple images/figures to convey the complexity, intricacy, and beauty of a given structure. Currently, three-dimensional models are built to allow students to interact with molecules.…

Hoover, Gabrielle C.; Dicks, Andrew P.; Seferos, Dwight S. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
In undergraduate chemistry curricula that include computational modeling, students may gain first-hand experience in both introductory and advanced applications of this technique. However, although students can be exposed to the predictive power of computational work, its capabilities are often limited to determining the intrinsic properties of…

Sandler, Isolde; Harper, Jason B.; Ho, Junming – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
This article highlights some of the challenges in explaining simple substituent effects on keto-enol equilibria, particularly to an undergraduate audience. Quantum-chemical calculations were performed to identify the role of intramolecular hydrogen bonding, inductive effects due to electron-withdrawing groups, and cross-conjugation on the…
