The research team will investigate how benzoyl peroxide, alkyl- and aryl-azide derivatives respond to light exposure, including dramatic effects like dissociation, fracturing, and color changes. This...
- The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $600,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to Professor Lei Zhu at the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Florida State University. The grant supports research to develop photosensitive organic compounds with interesting emission or photochemical properties. The goal is to understand the factors, structural or environmental, that control the behaviors of these compounds in response to...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $249,999 to Rowan University to support research on the development of photocatalytic conditions to generate cyclic compounds, heterocycles, and desulfonylation methods using aryl tosylates. The goal is to provide fundamental knowledge on visible-light-mediated, single-electron-transfer methods and resulting divergent mechanisms dependent upon photocatalyst selection....
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $450,000 provides funding from July 2022 through June 2025 for mechanistic organic photochemistry research at Brooklyn College of the City University of New York. The principal investigator, Professor Alexander Greer, will analyze oxygen-involving photochemical reactions and subsequent downstream processes to delineate primary from secondary, tertiary, and quaternary photo-oxidation mechanisms. This work aims to improve control of bacterial...

This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $535,000 to Case Western Reserve University to support research developing new classes of organic compounds absorbing one or two photons in the near-infrared range for applications including photodynamic therapy. Professor Carlos E. Crespo-Hernández will lead efforts to deliberately design and synthesize thionated organic photosensitizers with these absorption properties from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026. The research aims to control emissive and intersystem crossing properties to potentially yield new organic photosensitizers suitable for effective photodynamic cancer treatment and other biomedical applications in the therapeutic near-infrared window. Outreach and research training for underrepresented high school students is also included.
