The National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry awarded a $296,513 Project Grant to the University of Connecticut's Office of Sponsored Programs to support research titled "EAGER: CAS: METAL MEDIATED PERFLUOROALKYL HALIDE ACTIVATION TOWARDS FUNCTIONAL GROUP INTERCONVERSION AND COORDINATION POLYMERIZATION OF FLUOROALKENES" from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2023.
The grant funds research under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA #47.049) to advance the scientific understanding of major problems in chemistry through the activation of perfluoroalkyl halides and coordination polymerization of fluoroalkenes. Specifically, the University of Connecticut will conduct experiments to develop new methods for functional group interconversion and polymer synthesis using metal-mediated reactions. The research aims to increase the fundamental knowledge of fluorine chemistry and potentially enable new applications. As the prime awardee, the University of Connecticut will oversee the research efforts.
