- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry awarded a $550,000 Project Grant to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to study highly electron-deficient carbon, boron and silicon compounds. The goal of this 3-year research project, which falls under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), is to isolate and characterize compounds containing main group elements with as few as 4 or 5 valence electrons. This builds on prior work demonstrating that...
- 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) Division of Chemistry has awarded a 3-year, $575,000 Project Grant to Professor Alan Heyduk at the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant will support Professor Heyduk's research to design and synthesize innovative, redox-active ligand platforms that can enhance the electronic properties and reactivity patterns of transition metal coordination complexes. This research aims to advance the development of new photosensitive materials and catalysts for fuel synthesis and specialty chemical production. The project also includes an educational component to provide research mentoring and guidance to undergraduate students, many from underrepresented groups, through the SoCal Undergraduate Research Symposium at UC Irvine. The funded work will expand fundamental scientific understanding of redox-active ligands and help train a skilled workforce in the synthesis, characterization, and utilization of reactive coordination complexes.
