DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nN2 reduction (or 'fixation') has been a longstandi
 ng target of study in chemistry because of the compelling goal of utilizin
 g abundant\, cheap atmospheric N2 for chemical synthesis. Current methods 
 reduce N2 to ammonia at high temperatures and pressures. This seminar will
  discuss our research into low-temperature N2 fixation\, as well as new me
 chanisms that lead to organic products from N2. One of our strategies borr
 ows from the natural enzyme\, nitrogenase\, which uses an unusual iron-sul
 fur cluster whose atomic-level mechanism is mysterious. This motivates the
  development of iron-sulfur complexes with unusual shapes\, and study of t
 heir interactions with N2 and other nitrogenase substrates. Another strate
 gy involves low-coordinate iron coordination compounds\, which display new
  mechanisms for breaking the N-N bond of N2. Studies on low-valent iron co
 mpounds have led to the first example of converting N2 and arenes directly
  into aniline products.\n\nBio:\n\nPatrick L. Holland attended Terry Parke
 r High School in Jacksonville\, graduating in 1989. This was followed by f
 our years at Princeton University in Princeton\, New Jersey\, and graduate
  school at the University of California at Berkeley with Bob Bergman and D
 ick Andersen. He received his Ph. D. in inorganic chemistry in 1997 and th
 en did postdoctoral research in Bill Tolman’s research group at the Univer
 sity of Minnesota. In July of 2000\, he joined the faculty at the Universi
 ty of Rochester. After thirteen happy years in Rochester\, he moved to Yal
 e University\, where he is currently Professor of Chemistry.\n
