Odom and Lippert publish in Dalton Transactions.

Assistant Professor Susan Odom (Chemistry) and Research Scientist Cameron Lippert (CAER) published an article titled “Carbonic Anhydrase Mimics for Enhanced CO2 Absorption in an Amine-based Capture Solvent” in Dalton Transactions, featuring undergraduate alumnus Rachael Kelsey as the first author. Kelsey, now a medical student at the University of Kentucky, synthesized and characterizated two new small-molecule enzyme mimics of carbonic anhydrase. She and fellow undergraduate student David Austin Miller tested the homogeneous catalysts in concentrated primary amine solutions through which a dilute CO2 fluid stream was flowed and found exceptional activity for increased COabsorption rates.
