This $575,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will fund research at the University of California, San Diego to synthesize and study the reactivity of unusual main group elements stabilized by transition metal isocyanide complexes, from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026. Specifically, Professor Joshua S. Figueroa will manipulate boron monofluoride and diphosphorus molecules, which are...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry awarded a $550,000 Project Grant to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to study highly electron-deficient carbon, boron and silicon compounds. The goal of this 3-year research project, which falls under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), is to isolate and characterize compounds containing main group elements with as few as 4 or 5 valence electrons. This builds on prior work demonstrating that...
This $249,793 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara in developing new chemical tools to study the biological roles of the gasotransmitter hydrogen sulfide (H2S). The project aims to create ruthenium-based H2S-releasing molecules that can be selectively activated by chemical reduction or light, providing researchers...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $550,461 will fund research at the University of California, Davis from July 2022 to June 2025 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). Professor Tantillo of the UC Davis Department of Chemistry will use computational chemistry methods to advance the fundamental understanding of reaction mechanisms and reactivity principles in organic chemistry. Specifically, the research will construct new mechanistic models to explain...
This $550,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into the role of non-covalent interactions in the excited state dynamics of heterocyclic compounds. Funded under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), Professor de Vries at the University of California, Santa Barbara will experimentally study how such compounds respond to ultraviolet radiation using gas phase spectroscopy. Computational chemists will model the results to compare quantum...
This $630,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research led by Professor Abigail G. Doyle at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to develop synthetic reactions that access high-energy, polar reactive intermediates using visible-light and photocatalysts. The research aims to enable the transformation of readily available starting materials into more...
The University of California, Davis will receive $500,000 from the National Science Foundation under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to support research expanding the scope of group 13 chemistry with redox-active ligands from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The award will fund research at UC Davis exploring the use of ligands containing main group elements beyond carbon in coordination complexes of boron and aluminum. The work will aim to develop new...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $599,999 project grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) and the University of Pittsburgh.
