The University of Chicago was awarded a $500,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry to develop multifunctional metal-organic frameworks for cooperative catalysis. The grant was awarded on August 1, 2021 with a completion date of July 31, 2024.
The funding supports research under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through advancing knowledge and understanding of major problems. Specifically, the University of Chicago will leverage the grant to design and synthesize novel metal-organic frameworks with integrated catalytic sites, with the goal of enabling cooperative catalysis and improving chemical reaction efficiency. Outcomes of the research over the three-year period will further scientific understanding of catalysis at the nanoscale and have potential long-term benefits for sustainable chemistry applications.
