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...
The National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry awarded a $525,000 Project Grant to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania to support research into the activation and functionalization of volatile alkanes under mild conditions with earth-abundant base metals. The grant falls under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increased fundamental knowledge and understanding of major problems....
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...
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...
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.
