The Regents of the University of Minnesota received a $160,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) to support the METALLA-NHCS project from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023. Under the direction of Professor Ian Tonks, the University of Minnesota will design and synthesize new metal-based carbene ligands called metallanhcs that can be used to develop switchable catalytic reactions. These novel ligands incorporate metals into the cyclic backbone of a typically reactive free carbene structure, allowing direct communication of electronic changes to catalytic metal centers. The project also aims to expand the use of learning experience reports on laboratory accidents into a publicly available database to support safety training for new chemistry researchers. Overall, the funding will support innovation in redox-active ligands for applications in catalysis and polymerization reactions through the synthesis and study of early transition metal metallacarbene complexes.
