This Project Grant award from the Division of Chemistry at the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) provides $450,395 to the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) to develop novel pro-aromatic heavy-atom-free organic chromophores for triplet photochemistry applications. The Principal Investigator, Dr. Jean-Luc Ayitou, will lead this research to exploit the intrinsic molecular properties of diketopyrrolopyrroles (DPP) and dipyrrolonaphthyridine-diones...
This Project Grant award of $510,759 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry supports a research collaboration led by Professors Andrew Mitchell of Illinois State University and Dean Tantillo of UC-Davis. The goal is to develop new chemical reactions with connections to biology, medicine, physics, materials, and environmental sustainability. Key products include: Advancing oxidopyrylium-based [5+2] cycloaddition reactions to construct important heterocyclic small...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $450,262 Project Grant to the University of Connecticut (UConn) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The funding supports UConn's research on pyrrole-modified porphyrins, a class of pigments involved in metabolic processes and light harvesting. The 3-year project, led by Professor Brueckner, aims to better understand the fundamental properties and potential applications of these modified...
This $574,999 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) program will support a study led by Professor Jonathan S. Lindsey of North Carolina State University on synthesizing the key pigments involved in photosynthesis - chlorophylls and bacteriochlorophylls. The objectives are to streamline a recently developed synthetic route, explore a dehydrogenation approach to access different photosynthetic tetrapyrroles, and demonstrate...
This $550,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports research at Texas A&M University from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025. Professor François Gabbaï and his team will investigate the synthesis and coordination chemistry of novel ambiphilic ligands featuring a carbenium ion positioned next to a phosphine- or carbene-based metal-binding site. When coordinated to late transition...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the CFDA Program 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences, provides $575,000 in funding to the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) to develop new metal-catalyzed reactions to synthesize medium-sized ring compounds. Led by Professor Tom G. Driver, the project aims to leverage the unique reactivity of metal carbenes to construct important carbocyclic and heterocyclic scaffolds that are underrepresented in pharmaceutical...
