The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $397,058 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. The grant, awarded on September 15, 2023, will support a collaborative research project to enhance the chemoselectivity and efficiency of rhodium-based catalysts for organic transformations. The principal investigators, Ampofo Darko of the University of Tennessee-Knoxville and Dean Tantillo of the University of California-Davis, will utilize experimental synthesis and computational chemistry methods to study factors that determine reaction outcomes and guide the development of improved rhodium catalysts. The project aims to uncover new concepts in catalyst control and establish fundamental trends in reaction chemoselectivity. The broader impacts include providing research training for graduate and undergraduate students and engaging underserved high school students in the local community through partnerships with non-profit organizations.
