About this award
The University of South Florida received a $454,298 research grant from a civilian federal agency for a project investigating phosphorus speciation and oxidation states in cosmochemical evolution. The research addresses three primary objectives: examining phosphorus oxidation processes at high temperatures (500-1000°C) using isotopically-labeled water and advanced analytical techniques such as 31P nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry; investigating phosphorus speciation in synthetic and natural phosphoran olivine to determine whether intermediate oxidation states of phosphorus exchange with silicate structures; and identifying whether partially-oxidized schreibersite forms phosphonic acids more readily than other phosphorus sources through the generation of free radicals. The work is directly aligned with the Emerging Worlds Program, which supports research into the chemistry and evolution of materials present during early solar system formation, particularly focusing on differentiation and accretion processes.
This research grant carries an ultimate completion date of October 4, 2026, with an award date of October 5, 2022. No set-aside designation was applied to this contract. The work is expected to yield insights into phosphorus mineralogy in meteorites, the origins of specific meteorite minerals and organic compounds, and the role of intermediate phosphorus oxidation states as a potential chemical bridge between phosphide and phosphate forms. The research combines nuclear magnetic resonance, electron probe microanalysis, and electron paramagnetic resonance techniques to advance understanding of phosphorus behavior during early solar system development, with implications for comprehending unusual phosphorus mineralogic features observed in cosmochemical samples.
