Organic chemistry takes organometallic catalytic cycles to the streets. These are Stille couplings and ring-closing metathesis - so Dr. Lutz says.

Chemistry was everywhere at the festival of scholarship! Congratulations to all the presenters.

Coffee, tea, and chromatography

Students in Quantitative Analysis roasted Kenyan coffee beans to light (City) and dark (Full City) levels, then tested whether roast level makes a significant difference in caffeine content.

They also measured caffeine levels in some of Dr. Lutzā€™s favorite teas and became the first students to run samples on Dr. Lutzā€™s brand-new HPLC. Thanks, Dr. Lutz, for the new instrument and the opportunity for hands-on learning!

Chemistry never smelled so good!
