The American Chemical Society Student Affiliate (ACS-SA) of Salt Lake Community College (SLCC) has been using a “Club Model” for membership recruitment, growth, and retention…
Over the last few years a number of commercial products containing Fluoride have been analyzed by our research team, such products include mouthwash, dental varnish tablets, drops, gel and foam…
The Salt Lake Community College Student Affiliate has implemented four programs which have proven to be highly successful in building our successful student affiliate chapter…
Among the production variables that affect the flavor and palatability of whiskey, the aging or maturing process in wooden casks or barrels plays a significant role…
There are many variables in the production of vodka that affect the final taste profile. Filtration is one variable that significantly contributes to the palatability of vodka…
A faculty-guided student research project involving the synthesis of hybrid nickel/silver nanowires using template-assisted electrodeposition is presented. Hybrid 1-D nanowires are formed from the reduction of nickel and silver cations in the pores of an aluminum oxide template…
Phenytoin is listed by the World Health Organization as an Essential Medicine that is one of the most cost-effective anti-epileptic (AED) treatments available. However, availability of the drug to pharmacies in developing countries is limited…

A faculty-guided student research project involving the synthesis of hybrid gold/silver nanostructures using template-assisted electrodeposition is presented…
Indolizines and Quinolizinium Cations are two classes of structurally related aromatic heterocycles with one Nitrogen atom at the fusion position. They form integral part of the core structure of several alkaloids and show significant therapeutic properties…
The Great Salt Lake in Utah was at historically low levels during the extreme summer conditions of 2022. This was followed by very rapid melt and run off waters being fed into the lake in 2023. The lake has gained a few feet in depth, but it is still at a very low level…

This research project explores the first of the 12 principals of green chemistry, waste reduction through solvent recycling. Solvents are widely recognized to be a considerable environmental concern…
Phenytoin is one of the most cost-effective anti-epileptic (AED) treatments available and is listed by the World Health Organization as an Essential Medicine. Low commercial production, political instabilities, and/or financial barriers prevent the equitable access of phenytoin worldwide…
The ACS Student Affiliate of Salt Lake Community College has developed a unique organizational model that has brought together five SLCC student campus clubs organized under the Student Affiliate supervision…
The incorporation of green chemistry demonstrations into the curriculum allows educators to create a safer environment for student engagement and introduces the principles and practice of green chemistry as the global scientific community strives for more environmentally conscious practices…
The goal of this research project was to develop an undergraduate organic laboratory experiment to effectively demonstrate the Pinacol rearrangement. Phenytoin, an anticonvulsant drug first synthesized in 1908 via the Biltz synthesis, was chosen for this purpose…

A widely reported laboratory activity involving the assembly of organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) using tris(2,2′-bipyridine) ruthenium (II) chloride films on indium tin oxide requires the deposition of gallium indium (GaIn)…
Plants emit a wide array of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in response to their environment. Biogenic VOCs play important roles in plant tri-trophic interactions and responses to abiotic and biotic stress, as well as shaping our atmospheric chemistry…
Phenytoin is a widely used antiepileptic drug (AED). This project aimed to improve the small-scale synthesis of phenytoin for potential practical applications…
Indolizines and cyclazines are two classes of structurally related heterocyclic compounds with one nitrogen atom at the fusion position. The unique reactivities at the 3- and 5-positions of the indolizine ring provide pathways to synthesize more complex heteroaromatic systems…
A number of commercial products containing Fluoride have been analyzed by our research team. Such products include mouthwash, dental varnish, tablets, drops, gel, and foam…
The Great Salt Lake in Utah is at historically low levels during the extreme summer conditions. A study to develop methods to measure Fluoride in its different species forms has been commenced…
