This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry will support a research program at the University of Rhode Island (URI) that explores the use of photoinduced molecular heating to drive thermal chemistry under ambient conditions. The $438,432 award, effective September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2027, will fund experiments to investigate the conversion of photon energy into localized heat, which can then drive challenging thermal reactions and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $249,999 to Rowan University to support research on the development of photocatalytic conditions to generate cyclic compounds, heterocycles, and desulfonylation methods using aryl tosylates. The goal is to provide fundamental knowledge on visible-light-mediated, single-electron-transfer methods and resulting divergent mechanisms dependent upon photocatalyst selection....
This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports a collaborative research effort between Professor Yujie Sun at the University of Cincinnati and Professor Christopher Elles at the University of Kansas. The goal of this $475,000 award, with a period of performance from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, is to develop advanced photocatalysts that can be activated by near-infrared (NIR) light. The...
This $292,130 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Loyola University of Chicago and the University of Connecticut to develop heavy atom-free photocatalysts for chemical reactions. The grant is funded through the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through research in these fields. Specifically, the grant provides three years of funding until June 2026 for a collaborative research...
This $462,226 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry will support Professor Rory Waterman of the University of Vermont in studying more efficient ways to form chemical bonds using metal compounds activated by light, a process called photocatalysis. The key objectives are to investigate a new photocatalysis phenomenon discovered in Prof. Waterman's group, develop photocatalytic approaches to forming carbon-element bonds (e.g. phosphorus,...
This $309,414 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program, supports research at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNC-G) to develop a new class of photocatalysts that can transform cheap, unreactive raw materials into value-added chemicals. The goal is to control the photochemical process and reaction selectivity by modulating the energy of the light...
