This National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant, awarded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) program (CFDA 47.049), provides $152,123 to Samford University to systematically evaluate the mechanism for alkyne migratory insertion with first-row transition metal catalysts. The project, led by Dr. Dale Wilger of Samford's Department of Chemistry, aims to fully define the mechanisms that control alkyne migratory insertion regioselectivity with first-row transition metals. This information will facilitate the development of first-row transition metal catalysts, which are more earth abundant and economical than second- and third-row transition metal catalysts. The project will run from June 1, 2024 through May 31, 2027. No sub-awards are planned as part of this grant.
