This National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences grant, with the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number 47.049, provides $200,000 in funding from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2025 to support a postdoctoral research fellowship at Texas A&M University. The research project, titled "MPS-ASCEND: Ring-Opening of Cyclic Ethers Facilitated by Main-Group Lewis Acids", is led by Dr. Nathanael Hunter under the mentorship of Dr. François Gabbaï. The project aims to develop organoantimony(V) and organobismuth(III) compounds as tunable Lewis acid catalysts to facilitate the ring-opening of oxetane, including copolymerization with carbon dioxide. Additionally, the research plans to incorporate chiral ligands on the bismuth-based catalysts to generate chiral oxetane ring-opening products. The project also includes outreach activities to increase diversity, equity, and inclusion in graduate-level chemistry research.
