“All Kinds of Bonding”
Clark Landis, University of Wisconsin-Madison
About the Speaker:
Clark Landis is Professor of Inorganic and Organic chemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (USA). Born in 1956, he received the B. S. degree in chemistry from the University of Illinois-Urbana and his PhD from the University of Chicago for his work with Jack Halpern on the mechanism of enantioselective hydrogenation. Clark’s current research interests center on catalysis and include mechanisms of metal-catalyzed alkene polymerization and enantioselective hydroformylation, development of new NMR and mass spectrometric methods for measurement of rapid kinetics, synthesis and applications of modular chiral diazaphospholane ligands, computational modeling of catalytic processes, bonding theory, and chemical education. With Frank Weinhold he is coauthor of two books, Valency and Bonding (Cambridge Press, 2005) and Exploring Chemistry with NBOs (Wiley, 2011). He was the recipient of the ACS Award in Organometallic Chemistry in 2010 and the University of Wisconsin Chancellor’s Distinguished Teaching Award in 2005.
Directions:
If you approach via I-75, take the Hopple Street exit and turn left at the light. You will pass over the highway. At the next light, go straight (straight here is actually about a 45 degree turn to the left). You are now on Martin Luther King Drive. Continue up King to the 4th traffic light. You will reach the first one quickly, the second one about ½ mile after that, the third (Clifton Ave.) after going up a long hill, and the 4th as you continue eastward with the campus on your right. Turn right at this 4th traffic light onto campus, and then right into the Woodside Garage.
If you approach Cincinnati coming south on I-71, get off at the Taft Street exit (exit 3). After the light at the end of the off-ramp, continue straight (west) on Taft for about 1.3 miles. At this time, Hughes High School is directly in front of you, and you must turn. Turn right onto Clifton Avenue. The University is now on your right side. Continue on Clifton to King; turn right (eastbound) on King and follow to the first light. Turn right onto campus, and then right into the Woodside Garage.
Please Note:
The annual Homecoming parade will feature student-built floats and area bands. The parade begins at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 14, at the corner of Calhoun and Clifton avenues, then proceed north on Clifton and east on Martin Luther King Drive.
********
Street closures will begin at 6 p.m. and include both Calhoun and Clifton. MLK will be restricted to one lane in each direction, while parking will be unavailable on all three streets after 4 p.m., Oct. 14.
