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...
This $450,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Cornell University from August 2022 to July 2025 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). Principal Investigator Kyle Lancaster and his team are developing new classes of two- and pseudo-one-coordinate transition metal complexes with applications as catalysts and for data storage technologies. Specifically, the researchers aim to synthesize hetero-leptic transition metal complexes using...
Through a $575,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) award, Cornell University will investigate ways of utilizing more abundant 1st row transition metals as alternatives to expensive precious metals commonly used in catalytic chemistry. The primary objective is to develop methods for modifying 1st row transition metal compounds with ligands to provide the chemical reactivity and covalency typically associated with 2nd and 3rd row transition...
Cornell University was awarded a $450,656 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049). The three-year award will support research into the hydrofunctionalization of alkenes through non-redox paired electrocatalysis from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2024. The funding will allow Cornell University's Office of Sponsored Programs to advance scientific understanding of major problems in...
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 $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 $575,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will fund research at the University of California, San Diego to synthesize and study the reactivity of unusual main group elements stabilized by transition metal isocyanide complexes, from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026. Specifically, Professor Joshua S. Figueroa will manipulate boron monofluoride and diphosphorus molecules, which are...
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,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry awarded a $555,000 Project Grant to Yale University to examine fundamental redox reactivity at the surfaces of nanoparticles. Over a 3-year period from September 2024 to August 2027, the project led by Professor James Mayer will investigate how hydrogen atoms and other species bind to and transfer from the irregular surfaces of nanoparticles made of materials like tungsten oxide, iron carbide, and cobalt phosphide. The research aims...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry awarded a $500,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to Professor Jeremy Smith at Indiana University. The funding will support research to develop the chemistry of first-row transition metal carbides, which are integral to alternative energy sources like the Fischer-Tropsch process. The project aims to provide fundamental insights into the properties of these "metal carbide"...
