This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $437,828 to Professor Timothy Jackson of the University of Kansas for research into new manganese-hydroperoxo and manganese-alkylperoxo complexes from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025. The research aims to characterize these complexes, which mimic intermediates in metalloenzyme catalysts, to understand how to control their reactions and apply this knowledge to designing new catalysts. Graduate students will gain experience performing experiments at national laboratories and disseminating results through publications and conferences. Insights gained could inform the development of earth-abundant metal catalysts and contribute to understanding biological enzymes that use manganese.
