This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides $450,001 to support a collaborative research project led by Professor Stanislav Groysman of Wayne State University and Professor Richard L. Lord of Grand Valley State University. The project aims to develop new synthetic routes towards valuable organic compounds like cyclopropanes, azetidinimines, and ketenimines that have important pharmaceutical applications. Specifically, the researchers will design and investigate the reactivity of new transition metal carbene complexes to enable sustainable and efficient C-C bond formation reactions. The sub-award to Grand Valley State University will fund computational chemistry studies by the Lord group to support the experimental work of the Groysman lab. This research program also includes an educational component to provide comprehensive training for undergraduate and graduate students in inorganic chemistry. The award period runs from June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2027.
