Louisiana State University received a $284,428 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation to acquire a single-crystal x-ray diffractometer. The diffractometer will be used by Professor Semin Lee and colleagues to conduct research in organic and inorganic chemistry, materials chemistry, biochemistry, and catalysis. Their work includes studying alkynyl metathesis catalysts, molecular metallo-cages, natural products, molecular catalysts for energy transformations, light-activated molecular motors, and boron dipropyrmethylene-based fluorophores. Professor Lee will also develop a virtual reality-based teaching program in collaboration with several Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Primarily Undergraduate Institutions in Louisiana. This award was made under the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) and will support research and education at Louisiana State University from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025.
