- This $537,483 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of Wisconsin-Madison supports the development of a new chemical measurement system capable of monitoring the time-varying charge on a single organometallic catalyst molecule. The goal is to provide unprecedented insight into catalyst mechanisms by revealing the shifting structure and charge dynamics of a single catalyst molecule, which could lead...
- This $550,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into the role of non-covalent interactions in the excited state dynamics of heterocyclic compounds. Funded under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), Professor de Vries at the University of California, Santa Barbara will experimentally study how such compounds respond to ultraviolet radiation using gas phase spectroscopy. Computational chemists will model the results to compare quantum...
This $630,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into organic chemistry under harsh conditions at the University of Wisconsin-Madison from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026. Professor Robert J. McMahon and his research team will investigate the behavior of organic compounds exposed to high temperatures, pressures, and radiation similar to combustion and space environments. They will explore the chemical properties and reactions of reactive molecules generated under these conditions. This foundational research aims to enhance understanding of combustion chemistry relevant to energy production and the distribution of organic matter in the universe. The project also supports graduate and undergraduate student training in mechanistic organic chemistry, benefiting their careers in industry or academia. Outcomes will provide data on carbon-rich reactive intermediates to inform models of organic matter chemistry in harsh settings impacting astrochemistry, combustion, and soot formation. The funding falls under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which supports advancing scientific knowledge and understanding in these fields.
