Engaging organic students in the message and limitation of models

Bromfield-Lee, Deborah C. (ACS Publications, 2021)

Chemistry courses are filled with models. Organic chemistry utilizes a wide variety of models from tangible model kits, to mechanisms, to computational analysis and spectral information. Often students are presented with ...
An esterification kinetics experiment that relies on the sense of smell

Bromfield-Lee, Deborah C.; Oliver-Hoyo, Maria T. (Division of Chemical Education of the American Chemical Society, 2009-01)

This experiment involves an esterification synthesis to study reaction kinetics where students explore these topics utilizing the sense of smell rather than the traditional approach of using spectroscopic methods. Students ...
Functional nanoimprinted plasmonic crystals for chemical sensing and imaging

Le, An-Phong; Gray, Stephen K.; Nuzzo, Ralph G.; Rogers, John A. (Springer, 2012)

We describe here nanoimprinted plasmonic crystals composed of highly uniform subwavelength metal nanohole and nanopost arrays and their application in surface-enhanced sensing and imaging. Soft nanoimprint lithography is ...
Implementation and student perceptions on Google Docs as an electronic laboratory notebook in organic chemistry

Bromfield-Lee, Deborah C. (American Chemical Society, 2018-05-30)

Electronic laboratory notebooks are gaining in popularity in industry and academia. Various types of electronic laboratory notebooks exist, and a variety of tools can be used for these forms of notebooks. Some tools are ...
The prevalence of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in West Africa – A review

Adebusuyi, Adewumi T.; Sojinu, Samuel O.; Aleshinloye, Abimbola O. (Elsevier, 2022)

Africa's inadequate monitoring is a major issue in combating persistent organic pollutants (POPs). The level of monitoring of these highly toxic persistent substances which have the ability to bioaccumulate through the ...
A qualitative organic analysis that exploits the senses of smell, touch, and sound

Bromfield-Lee, Deborah C.; Oliver-Hoyo, Maria T. (Division of Chemical Education of the American Chemical Society, 2007-12)

This laboratory experiment utilizes the characteristic aromas of some functional groups to exploit the sense of smell as a discriminating tool in an organic qualitative analysis scheme. Students differentiate a variety of ...
Re-casting traditional organic experiments into green guided-inquiry based experiments: student perceptions

Bromfield-Lee, Deborah C. (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2019-06)

Green Chemistry principles can be used to re-cast traditional Organic chemistry experiments into more guided-inquiry based experiments. Inquiry questions related to green chemistry principles and metrics have been incorporated ...
Tactile models for the visualization, conceptualization, and review of intermolecular forces in the college chemistry classroom

Bromfield-Lee, Deborah C.; Beggs, Grace A. (American Chemical Society and Division of Chemical Education, 2021-04)

The authors describe the construction and use of tactile models for demonstrating intermolecular forces. These models are composed of inexpensive materials and can be used in college chemistry classrooms of varying levels ...
The Use of Simulations with Active Learning Exercises

Harvey, David T.; Le, An-Phong; Lucy, Charles A.; Mosby, Brian M.; Park, Ellane J. (American Chemical Society, 2022-01-31)

Using simulations offers several advantages in analytical chemistry courses. Students can explore variables faster than is often possible when using the actual instrument or method being simulated. Simulations provide the ...
Using laboratory chemicals to imitate illicit drugs in a forensic chemistry activity

Hasan, Shawn; Bromfield-Lee, Deborah C.; Oliver-Hoyo, Maria T.; Cintron-Moldonado, Jose A. (Division of Chemical Education of the American Chemical Society, 2008-06)

This forensic chemistry activity utilizes presumptive forensic testing procedures and laboratory chemicals that produce screening results similar to controlled substances. For obvious reasons, obtaining heavily regulated ...
