The National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry awarded a three-year $250,000 Project Grant to the University of Connecticut under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to support collaborative research on the development of heavy atom-free photocatalysts for chemical reactions. The University of Connecticut, in collaboration with Loyola University-Chicago, will employ computational modeling to design and optimize metal- and halogen-free catalysts that can be...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides $399,662 to Professor Gonghu Li of the University of New Hampshire to study new photocatalysts based on earth-abundant metals such as copper and nickel. The research aims to design and synthesize supramolecular photocatalysts using covalent linkers to enable tuning of photo-induced charge separation and multi-electron catalysis. This work will contribute...
This $309,414 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program, supports research at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNC-G) to develop a new class of photocatalysts that can transform cheap, unreactive raw materials into value-added chemicals. The goal is to control the photochemical process and reaction selectivity by modulating the energy of the light...
This $462,226 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry will support Professor Rory Waterman of the University of Vermont in studying more efficient ways to form chemical bonds using metal compounds activated by light, a process called photocatalysis. The key objectives are to investigate a new photocatalysis phenomenon discovered in Prof. Waterman's group, develop photocatalytic approaches to forming carbon-element bonds (e.g. phosphorus,...
This $201,993 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will support a collaborative international research effort led by Professor Neal Mankad at the University of Illinois Chicago. The project aims to develop encapsulated bimetallic complexes based on earth-abundant metals that can efficiently harvest energy from light to catalyze important chemical transformations for industrial synthesis. The research team will...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $249,999 to Rowan University to support research on the development of photocatalytic conditions to generate cyclic compounds, heterocycles, and desulfonylation methods using aryl tosylates. The goal is to provide fundamental knowledge on visible-light-mediated, single-electron-transfer methods and resulting divergent mechanisms dependent upon photocatalyst selection....
The National Science Foundation awarded a $249,988 Project Grant to the University of North Carolina at Greensboro under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to develop new photocatalysts for green oxidation processes.
