This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $498,946 to the University of Rochester for research into the synthesis and reactivity of oxygen-atom vacancies in molecular vanadium oxide assemblies. Led by Dr. Ellen Matson from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025, the research aims to develop and study methods for creating oxygen-atom defects on the surfaces of polyoxovanadate-alkoxide clusters. Specifically, the grant will support investigation into how cation- and anion-dopants and surface ligands modulate the formation of oxygen-atom vacancies. Characterization of resulting complexes will provide insight into the mechanisms and activation parameters governing oxygen-atom vacancy formation. Findings are intended to inform strategic design of materials with enhanced activity for converting inert substances into energy-rich chemical fuels.
