The National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry awarded William Marsh Rice University a $475,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) to support research titled "Harnessing the Power of Weak Bonds: Cleavage of N-O Bonds as Key Steps in Domino and Rearrangement Reactions of Functionalized Hydroxylamines" from May 1, 2021 to April 30, 2024.
The grant will fund research at Rice University investigating the cleavage of nitrogen-oxygen bonds as critical steps in domino and rearrangement chemical reactions involving functionalized hydroxylamines. The Mathematical and Physical Sciences program aims to advance scientific knowledge and understanding in core areas of mathematics and physical sciences, consistent with the proposed research focus on developing new chemical reaction pathways and bond cleavage mechanisms. The three-year award period and funding amount of $475k will allow for in-depth investigation into the power and applications of weak chemical bonds.
