学术/研究方向:

Rebecca Black is a synthetic organic/organometallic chemist and chemical education researcher. Her graduate work focused on the design and synthesis of phosphine-sulfonate ligands for Pd(II)-catalyzed α-olefin (co)polymerization. 她目前与NCF学生的工作, funded by the American 化学ical Society Petroleum Research Fund, involves the synthesis of new axially-chiral biphenyl bisphosphine ligands and their corresponding Ru(II) complexes for acceptorless dehydrogenation catalysis, a clean organic synthetic method that generates hydrogen gas as its only byproduct. Her chemical education research projects center on developing activities and projects for students to develop information literacy, 解决问题, 团队合作, 以及书面沟通能力. Two ongoing projects involve investigating (i) the impact of term-long, scaffolded research projects in 有机化学I and II lecture courses on the development of information literacy and problem-solving skills and (ii) how learning to write in professionally-relevant genres in Organic 化学 laboratories affects the development of writer and STEM identity and persistence in STEM. 她的教学兴趣包括有机化学, 有机金属与无机化学, 催化, 高分子化学, 先进核磁共振光谱学和结构解析, 科学史, 艺术中的化学.
