- Federal Grant Award Summary Professor Jeremy May's research group at the University of Houston is developing novel heavy metal-free chemical reactions for synthesizing complex molecular structures through electrophilic deboronation methodologies, supported by a $400,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The project, which commenced September 1, 2025, and will conclude August 31, 2028,...
- The University of Connecticut (UConn) was awarded a $570,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The grant supports UConn's development of new methods for the precise synthesis of novel fluorinated polymeric materials with complex architectures, as well as exploration of the recycling and upcycling of commercial fluoropolymers. The 3-year project aims to overcome longstanding challenges in fluoropolymer synthesis...
This $472,369 National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry Project Grant will support research into novel fluorinated functional groups as environmentally benign replacements for persistent and toxic compounds used in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Professor John T. Welch of the University at Albany will investigate the chemical reactivity and polar hydrophobicity of tetrafluoro(trifluoromethyl)sulfanes. Seventh through twelfth grade students from underrepresented and economically disadvantaged backgrounds will engage in mentored laboratory research and collaborative learning around chemical literacy. The research aims to sustain training in fluorochemical technology and research critical to the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program's goals of strengthening the Nation's scientific enterprise and increasing scientific knowledge. Any compounds synthesized will undergo testing for benign degradation processes and susceptibility to biodegradation to validate their utility as environmentally preferable substituents preserving the commercial benefits of fluorination.
