This National Science Foundation (NSF) Chemistry Division Project Grant, awarded to Duke University, provides $800,000 over 4 years (from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2027) to study how mechanical forces can accelerate and control chemical reactions in polymeric materials. The primary objective is to establish a quantitative foundation for understanding "mechanochemistry" - the impact of mechanical forces on covalent chemical reactions along polymer backbones. The research aims to...
This Project Grant award of $115,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research by Dr. Rachel J. Allenbaugh of Murray State University to study small molecule mechanosynthesis kinetics under temperature-controlled conditions. The goal is to enhance the basic understanding of mechanochemistry, a more sustainable alternative to traditional chemical processes that rely on solvents and heating. Through the development of...
The National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry awarded the University of South Carolina $395,000 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to support collaborative research on mechanochemistry of metallocenes from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2025. Professors Chuanbing Tang of the University of South Carolina and Stephen L. Craig of Duke University will develop a class of metal-containing polymers that respond chemically to mechanical stress through common...
The National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry awarded Vanderbilt University $524,592 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) to support research exploring mechanochemical control of synthesis and applications to catalysis from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025. Professor Timothy Hanusa of Vanderbilt University will investigate chemical reactions that can occur through grinding or ball milling with little to no solvent, aiming to develop more...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry awarded a $624,973 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to Stanford University for the research project "PROBING AND DESIGNING CASCADE REACTIVITY IN CONSECUTIVE MECHANOACTIVATION OF COVALENT BONDS". This 3-year grant will support experimental and computational investigations by Professors Yan Xia and Todd Martinez into understanding force-driven reaction pathways and cascade...
This three-year, $274,094 National Science Foundation project grant supports collaborative research between Duke University and the University of South Carolina to develop metal-containing polymers that respond chemically to mechanical stress. Funded through NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the researchers aim to establish structure-activity relationships and reaction mechanisms for mechanochemical cleavage of metal-cyclopentadienyl bonds. They will synthesize...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $550,461 will fund research at the University of California, Davis from July 2022 to June 2025 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). Professor Tantillo of the UC Davis Department of Chemistry will use computational chemistry methods to advance the fundamental understanding of reaction mechanisms and reactivity principles in organic chemistry. Specifically, the research will construct new mechanistic models to explain...
This $350,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research effort between Johns Hopkins University and the University of Massachusetts Lowell. The goal is to design and develop novel metal-organic framework (MOF) catalysts for electrochemical synthesis of commercially valuable organonitrogen compounds like urea, acetamide, and N-methylamines. The project has three key objectives: (1)...
This five-year, $616,685 National Science Foundation project grant will fund research at Arizona State University to elucidate the synergistic effects of composition, porosity, and structural rigidity on the mechanics of metallic organic frameworks (MOFs). MOFs are porous hybrid materials consisting of metallic ions connected by organic linkers to form a vast reinforced network with potential for industrial CO2 capture, separation, and storage applications. The grant will support an integrated...
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...
