This $575,000 federal Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, supports the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in developing new sustainable nickel-catalyzed coupling methods for the stereoselective synthesis of complex organic molecules. The 3-year project, led by Professor Simon Meek, focuses on creating efficient, site- and stereo-controlled multicomponent reactions using simple carbonyl-type...
The National Science Foundation's Division of Chemistry awarded a $515,013 Project Grant to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to study the reaction chemistry of aromatic building blocks. The grant, which runs from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026, supports Professor Jeffrey Johnson's research team as they seek to develop new chemical reactions that generate highly functionalized and useful products from simpler and abundant feedstock chemicals. The research aims to convert achiral...
This $600,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports research at Northwestern University to develop new atom-efficient catalytic transformations using earth-abundant metals. Professor Tobin Marks and his research group will discover, understand, and optimize f-element and d(0)-transition metal catalysts for three types of critical organic reactions, with the goal of making catalytic...
Under a $595,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, Professor Thomas Lectka of Johns Hopkins University will pursue two complementary strategies to selectively modify specific carbon-hydrogen or carbon-carbon bonds within complex molecular structures. The first approach will utilize hydrogen bonding to direct site-selective functionalization reactions, while the second will leverage metal ion binding to deactivate...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry awarded a $550,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) for a 3-year project. The objective is to establish light-activated reactions that form transition metal hydride complexes, which are critical for producing fuels and commodity chemicals. The research activities will study the electronic structure and photochemistry of...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry awarded a $652,777 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Through this 4-year grant, Professor Erik J. Alexanian is developing chemical reagents to enable the selective diversification of polyolefin plastics, such as polyethylene and polypropylene, through C-H bond functionalization. This approach aims to "upcycle" post-consumer...
This $309,414 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program, supports research at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNC-G) to develop a new class of photocatalysts that can transform cheap, unreactive raw materials into value-added chemicals. The goal is to control the photochemical process and reaction selectivity by modulating the energy of the light...
Professor Sarah E. Reisman of the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) will use a $900,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to develop new catalytic reactions for the synthesis of natural products. Over three years from July 2022 to June 2025, Reisman and her team will focus on inventing, testing, and refining new carbon-carbon bond forming reactions through two natural product synthesis projects. The...
This $350,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research effort focused on electrochemical nickel-catalyzed reductive biaryl coupling. Professors Daniel Weix and Shannon Stahl of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Professor Mohammad Rafiee of the University of Missouri-Kansas City, and Professor Robert Paton of Colorado State University are working to...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $480,000 to Professor Michel R. Gagné of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The funding supports research into new catalytic processes using unsupported z-ligands as key initiators. Specifically, the Gagné group will study the fundamental reactivity and potential structural variability of...
