The University of Illinois received a $500,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry to support research on the "Reactions of Arynes and Other Reactive Intermediates" from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2024.
Under the award, the University will conduct research to increase understanding of major problems confronting the Nation in the area of chemical reactivity and synthesis through investigation of highly reactive chemical intermediates. Specifically, the University's work will focus on elucidating reaction mechanisms and developing new synthetic methodologies involving arynes and related reactive species. Findings from this research have the potential to advance the development of new chemical tools and technologies. The award is being provided through the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to promote progress in these scientific fields and strengthen the Nation's scientific enterprise.
