This is my penultimate Catalyst report. It is hard to believe how
quickly my year as Chair has gone by. Of course, it’s only September
as I am writing. For me, September is a time of new beginnings, not
endings. As an academic, the start of a new school year brings ex-
citement and promise. So, even as the days are getting shorter and the
leaves are starting to fall signaling the end of summer, there is joy in
starting a new academic cycle. This is also the beginning of a new
year in the Jewish calendar. To those celebrating and to everyone
else, I extend best wishes for a good and sweet year full of joy, health, happiness and peace.
October is a busy month for the Philadelphia Section. We will be presenting the Philadelphia
Section Award to Dr. Kurt W. Kolasinski, Professor of Physical Chemistry at West Chester
University. Dr. Kolasinski received his BS in Chemistry at the University of Pittsburgh and his
PhD under the tutelage of Dr. Richard N. Zare at Stanford University. Dr. Kolasinski will speak
on Charge Transfer at the Liquid/Silicon Interface to Affect Nanostructure Formation.
During October we also celebrate National Chemistry Week. One of the activities planned dur-
ing NCW is a service project with Cradles to Crayons on Saturday, October 21st from 10:00-
Noon. This is an opportunity to support low-income and homeless children by donating and
helping to package needed items. The details are available on the Section’s Eventbrite account
and in the Calendar of Events. I hope you can give some time to this worthy cause.
The Ullyot Lecture will be held at CHF on November 16, 2017. Our speaker is Dr. Marcia
McNutt, President of the National Academy of Science. Please mark your calendars to attend.
The Ullyot Lecture is always a well-attended event, so sign up early.
Finally, please join me in welcoming Lautrelle Gary-Smith, our new Section Administrator.
Lautrelle is based at the University of Pennsylvania and will be assisting us with the administra-
tive details of the Section. Lautrelle’s predecessor, Krista Leary, has moved on to Colorado.

SPEAKER’S ABSTRACT AND BIOGRAPHY
Kurt W. Kolasinski, PhD
West Chester University
Charge Transfer at the Liquid/Silicon Interface
to Affect Nanostructure Formation
Abstract: Etching of silicon to create micro- and nano-structures is essential to a variety of
technologies including electronics, optoelectronics, sensors, microelectromechanical systems
(MEMS), drug delivery, bioimaging and advanced batteries. The etching of Si in HF(aq) is ini-
tiated by the injection of a hole into the Si valence band. This couples the process to the Si band
structure. Since quantum confinement links the energy of the valence and conduction bands to
the size of Si nanostructures, electrochemical etching of Si is a potentially self-limiting reaction
that forms nanostructures. We demonstrate how control of both valence band and conduction
band processes can be harnessed to alter the dynamics of Si etching to produce a variety of
nanostructures in both wafers and powders of Si.
Stain etching is the etching of Si induced by dissolving an oxidant in HF(aq). Discovered in the
1960s, it is now known to produce nanoporous Si. We introduced regenerative electroless etch-
ing (ReEtching), which is a variation on stain etching using two oxidants. The first oxidant
(Ox1) is used as a catalytic agent to facilitate etching of a semiconductor by a second oxidant
(Ox2) that would otherwise be unreactive. Ox2 is used to regenerate Ox1 and sustain etching at a
rate controlled by the flow of Ox2. This general strategy was demonstrated specifically for the
production of highly luminescent, nanocrystalline porous Si from the reaction of V2O5 in
HF(aq) as Ox1 and H2O2(aq) as Ox2. The Si can be in the form of wafer or powder. Depending
on the etching conditions, the powder particles may be completely porosified, or be comprised
of a porous layer surrounding a solid core. Pillared silicon particles can also be produced. In
metal assisted etching (MAE) metal nanoparticles catalyze charge transfer into Si. Metals such
as Ag, Au, Pd and Pt are used to form either isolated pores with the same size as the metal par-
ticle or Si nanowires with a diameter determined by the area not covered by metal.
We also explained how addition of H2O2 to a standard HF(aq) electrolyte dramatically changes
the stoichiometry of Si dissolution under anodic biasing without loss of etching control at the
depths up to 200 μm. We showed that the presence of H2O2 reduced the valence of the dissolu-
tion from 2 to 1, thus rendering the electrochemical etching more effective, and catalyzed the
etching rate by opening a more efficient path for silicon dissolution. This allows silicon micro-
fabrication to enter a previously unattainable region in which high aspect ratio structures (be-
yond 10) at high etching rate (over 3 μm/min) was prohibited for prior commercial and research
technologies.

Biography: Dr. Kurt W. Kolasinski has been Professor of Physical Chemistry at West Chester
University since 2014 having joined the faculty in 2006. He received his BS in Chemistry from
the University of Pittsburgh, where he performed undergraduate research with John T. Yates, Jr.
Richard N. Zare was his PhD thesis advisor at Stanford University, where they used laser spec-
troscopy to investigate the dynamics of molecules scattered and thermally desorbed from solid
surfaces. He assumed an Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship to work in Gerhard Ertl's divi-
sion of the Fritz-Haber-Institut in Berlin (1991–1994). Under the direct supervision of Eckart
Hasselbrink, he studied laser induced desorption, thermal desorption and catalytic reactions on
surfaces with the aid of laser and electron energy loss spectroscopy.
He returned to the US as a National Research Council Resident Research Associate at the Na-
tional Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, MD then held faculty positions at
the University of Birmingham (UK) (1995–2001), Queen Mary University of London (2001–
2004), and the University of Virginia (2004–2006). His research focuses on surface science, la-
ser/surface interactions and nanoscience. A particular area of expertise is the formation of semi-
conductor nanostructures and porous silicon using a variety of chemical and laser-based tech-
niques. Instrumental in establishing an initiative at UVA concerning sustainability and energy
issues, he continues to be active in this area at WCU. He is the author of over 100 scholarly
publications as well as the textbooks Surface Science: Foundations of Catalysis and Nanosci-
ence and Physical Chemistry: How Chemistry Works.
FROM ACS COUNCIL—Tony Addison
Philadephia Section Councilors joined the Council meeting in Washington on August 23rd.
There were 12,900 participants at the Fall Meeting, including 7,900 regular registrations plus
3,000 student registrations and 1,100 Exhibitor registrations. These numbers are not significant-
ly different from those for the Fall 2016 Philadelphia meeting (12,800 total).
The ACS Board of Directors approved setting the advance member registration fee at $475 for
national meetings held in 2018. The various registration fees continue to be topics of discussion
amongst Society members.
The Society’s current budget projection calls for a 2017 outcome which is better than the origi-
nally approved budget. Revenues are heading for a 5% increase over 2016, but this is actually
less than the budgeted amount, and the overall favourable outcome is more the result of cost-
cutting, which can’t go on forever ......
The ongoing geographic question about Ocean County, NJ has apparently been decided, with
the Ocean County Section being annexed by the South Jersey Section. The Committee on Local
Section Activities was asked at Council whether the Ocean County members had been polled to
determine their preferences (e.g., S. Jersey vs. Princeton vs. Philadelphia), but LSAC avoided
answering that specific question.

Perhaps surprisingly, Council voted rather closely against an initiative to allow international
chapters of ACS to have representation on Council, and against discontinuing the ruling that in-
ternational chapters cannot receive any ACS funding.
The ACS Board of Directors has engaged with the National Organization for the Professional
Advancement of Black Chemists and Chemical Engineers (NOBCChE) with respect to collabo-
rations between the two societies.
Amongst local Section members running for posts, Ella L. Davis was elected to the national
committee on Council Policy (CPC) for a one-year (2018) term.

CHEMICAL CONSULTANTS NETWORK OCTOBER 11, 2017 MEETING
RYE WHISKEY DISTILLERY TOUR
Herman Mihalich – Dad’s Hat Rye Whiskey
DATE & TIME: Wednesday, Oct.11th, at Mountain Laurel Spirits, LLC, Bristol, PA
Networking & Food, 5:30 PM; Distillery Tour & Discussion, 6:30 PM; Whiskey Tasting 7:30 PM
LIMITED TO 25 ATTENDEES Click here to register soon!
Abstract: Pennsylvania Rye Whiskey is truly America’s original whiskey. In the 18th century, many Pennsylvania
farmers were using their surplus rye grain to distill homemade whiskey. The federal government decided to tax the
product leading to what was call the “Whiskey Rebellion”. After Prohibition, Pennsylvania Rye Whiskey and its dis-
tillers never fully recovered from the damage done to the product’s reputation by bootleggers and mediocre quality.
After being inspired by a revival in rye whiskey, Herman Mihalich decided to leave the chemical industry to develop a rye whiskey made in the “Pennsylvania Tradition”. He would later go on to found Mountain Laurel Spirits in 2011 in Bristol becoming the first Pennsylvania distillery to make rye whiskey since 1990. Biography: Herman Mihalich severed the chemical industry for thirty years prior to founding Mountain Laurel Spir-its, LLC. His career included a variety of roles ranging from engineering to executive for global companies like Rho-dia (now Solvay). Herman holds a Chemical Engineering degree from UPenn and a MBA from Wharton. In a way, Herman Mihalich’s childhood in Monessen, Pennsylvania predicted his future as the founder of Dad’s Hat Pennsylvania Rye Whiskey. It was there, after all, living in an apartment above his family’s bar, where Mihalich ex-perienced the sights, sounds and stories that would eventually inspire him to reintroduce the world to Pennsylvania’s once-rich rye whiskey-producing heritage. Location: Mountain Laurel Spirits, LLC • 925 Canal Street, Building #4, Door 16, Bristol, PA 19007
