The research team,...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $550,000 Project Grant to The Ohio State University under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to support research on the hydrogen atom transfer reactivity of unsymmetric bimetallic complexes from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2026. Specifically, the University will develop new bimetallic complex models to elucidate the influence of inequivalent environments on the reactivity of bimetallic centers in natural proteins. The research aims to bridge synthetic catalyst design with metalloenzyme functions. Two classes of complexes with asymmetric primary coordination spheres, secondary coordination spheres, and heterobimetallic centers will be synthesized and evaluated. The degree of bimetallic differentiation will be quantified by measuring kinetics and metal affinity. Findings seek to improve understanding of metalloenzymes involved in energy, health, and environmental processes. The award also supports training and outreach activities integrating undergraduate and K-12 students in interdisciplinary inorganic and computational methods.
