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 $545,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program, specifically the Division of Chemistry, will fund research into ultrafast dynamics occurring in the ground states of transition metal complexes being conducted by Professor Clifford Kubiak of the University of California, San Diego from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The research aims to develop new assemblies of metal complexes that undergo fast electron transfer reactions through...
This $575,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of California, Berkeley will support Professor Thomas Maimone's research on developing new synthetic strategies for constructing complex, nitrogen-containing molecules. The work aims to identify transformations that can efficiently produce unique target molecules with potential applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials. The...
This $520,000 three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research into advancing the understanding of transition metal-carbon bonding through integrated spectroscopy and theory methods. Principal investigators Lucy Ziurys of the University of Arizona and Nathan Deyonker of the University of Memphis will combine experimental and computational approaches to explore the ground electronic states of small...
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 $600,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will support research at the University of Michigan and Trinity University to investigate the structural and electronic properties of high-valent cobalt, nickel, and copper-oxo complexes. The project aims to improve understanding of how metal-oxo versus metal-oxyl character impacts the stability and reactivity of these unstable, yet potentially useful,...
This federal Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $800,000, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of California, Berkeley. The purpose of the grant is to support research by Professor John F. Hartwig in the Department of Chemistry, who is developing and studying new transition-metal catalyzed reactions to form carbon-fluorine bonds. This research aims to enable the synthesis of a...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $361,035 from July 15, 2023 to June 30, 2026 to support a collaborative research project between Professor Theodore Betley of Harvard University and Professor Kyle Lancaster of Cornell University. The project aims to synthesize and characterize novel metal-ligand multiple bond systems that can selectively incorporate functionality...
The University of California, San Diego will develop new classes of solid, tunable catalytic materials for important chemical transformations under a $525,000 National Science Foundation project grant in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). Professor Seth Cohen and his research team will create metal-organic frameworks using phosphorus-derived ligands linked to palladium, rhodium, and iridium metal centers. They will modify these materials to promote cross-coupling and...
The University of California, Santa Barbara will receive $500,000 from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2024. The funding will support the project "Harnessing the Reactivity of Sulfur: From Novel S-Atom Transfer Reagents to Sulfide-Protected Nanoclusters," which aims to advance the understanding of sulfur chemistry through development of new sulfur-transfer...
