The focus is on synthesizing manganese coordination complexes with carbene ligands and characterizing...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) in the amount of $499,892 awarded to the Regents of the University of Michigan aims to develop computational tools to predict the structure and properties of molecular interfaces in organic electronic and photonic devices. The research will integrate first principles quantum mechanical simulations, predictive machine learning algorithms, and experiments to enable a new paradigm...
This Project Grant award of $365,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports Professor Dennis Cao of Macalester College in developing a class of organic dye compounds that interact with near-infrared light. The research aims to unlock design principles for organic dyes that can harvest solar energy outside the visible light spectrum and/or serve as imaging agents for use in living tissue. The funded activities include...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $506,268 project grant to the University of Michigan to study photochemical transformations on metal nanoparticles through the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The grant supports Professor Suljo Linic and his team's research on using solar energy to drive "plasmonic catalysis" - a process where light-absorbing metal nanoparticles can efficiently drive desirable chemical reactions. The central hypothesis is...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $560,000 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) from July 15, 2022 to June 30, 2025. The grant will support research into synthesizing new metal-based molecules with Professor Vincent L. Pecoraro and his team at the University of Michigan to study the electronic structure of lanthanide ions and exploit their luminescent properties using functionalized metallacrowns....
This Project Grant award of $399,662 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049), supports a research project led by Professor Gonghu Li of the University of New Hampshire. The project aims to design and synthesize new photocatalysts based on earth-abundant metals, such as copper and nickel, to transform carbon dioxide into valuable chemicals and fuels using visible light.
