This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports research at the University of Michigan led by Professor Melanie Sanford to study copper, nickel, and iron pincer complexes as catalysts for C-H bond functionalization reactions. The $793,072 award, which runs from May 1, 2024 to April 30, 2028, aims to develop a deeper understanding of first-row transition-metal catalyzed C-H functionalization...
Professor Nathaniel Szymczak of the University of Michigan will use a $525,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry to study new strategies for constructing multifunctional catalysts capable of making and breaking carbon bonds. The grant, awarded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will support the development of transition metal compounds containing multiple reactive sites to advance the basic science needed for...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry awarded a 4-year, $680,000 Project Grant to the University of Wisconsin-Madison to develop new "foldamer" catalysts inspired by the structural diversity of enzymes. Under this grant, Professor Samuel H. Gellman will utilize organic and supramolecular chemistries to prepare bifunctional and trifunctional foldamer catalysts capable of promoting carbon-carbon bond forming reactions. The goal is to enable the development of new...
