Specifically, the project aims to create multi-scale quantum mechanical/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) approaches that can accurately model the behavior of photoexcited molecules within...
This award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) supports a research project led by Professor Abigail G. Doyle at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). The project is focused on developing synthetic reactions that use visible light and photocatalysts to access high-energy, polar reactive intermediates like carbocations and carbanions. This will enable access to a broader range of sensitive precursors and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $575,000 project grant under its Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) program to the University of Wisconsin-Madison to study the use of light in organic synthesis. Under this 3-year award effective July 1, 2024, Professor Tehshik Yoon and his team will design novel photocatalysts that can interact directly with small molecules to control how they react and form more complex products. The research aims to transform discovery in pharmaceutical...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry awarded a $550,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) for a 3-year project. The objective is to establish light-activated reactions that form transition metal hydride complexes, which are critical for producing fuels and commodity chemicals. The research activities will study the electronic structure and photochemistry of...
Under a $595,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, Professor Thomas Lectka of Johns Hopkins University will pursue two complementary strategies to selectively modify specific carbon-hydrogen or carbon-carbon bonds within complex molecular structures. The first approach will utilize hydrogen bonding to direct site-selective functionalization reactions, while the second will leverage metal ion binding to deactivate...
