The National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry awarded $518,135 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) to Trustees of Boston University for the project "Tuning Teflon-Coated Earth-Abundant Metal Complexes in Oxidative Catalysis." The three-year project from August 2021 to July 2024 will develop new metal complexes with perfluorinated alkoxide ligands to catalyze controlled oxidation reactions involving C-H bond additions and removals. Such transformations are critical steps in modern chemical synthesis. The metal complexes aim to conduct these reactions under atmospheric oxygen and water-tolerant conditions. A $25,000 subaward was provided to Roxbury Community College to continue preparing fluorinated metal complexes and test catalytic oxidations using on-site NMR, IR, and GC analytical equipment, contributing to mechanistic understanding.
