The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $369,786 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of Delaware. The grant supports the development of new synthetic routes to molecular transition metal photosensitizers based on earth-abundant group 4 elements, which can be utilized in photochemical applications such as solar fuels production, photocatalysis, and photovoltaic devices. The research aims to provide cheap and readily...
This Project Grant award of $258,403 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research led by Dr. Carsten Milsmann of West Virginia University to develop design principles for earth-abundant metal complexes, specifically iron and cobalt, that can replace precious metals in carbene transfer catalysis. The research aims to study the electronic structures and reactivities of four-coordinate iron- and cobalt-carbene complexes as...
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...
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 $575,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry will support Purdue University's research into photoactive iron and cobalt organometallic compounds. Led by Professor Tong Ren, the team will investigate a new family of macrocycle-supported metal complexes to extend the lifetimes of excited states and improve the efficiency of solar energy utilization. Key objectives include synthesizing Fe(II)-TIM and Fe(III)-TIM complexes as new...
This $402,669 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research at the University of South Florida to develop iron- and copper-based hybrid photocatalysts for carbon-carbon (C-C) and carbon-nitrogen (C-N) cross-coupling reactions. The project aims to establish structure-property-performance relationships of these photocatalysts, which can enable more cost-effective, energy-efficient, and environmentally-friendly chemical production...
This $574,999 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) program will support a study led by Professor Jonathan S. Lindsey of North Carolina State University on synthesizing the key pigments involved in photosynthesis - chlorophylls and bacteriochlorophylls. The objectives are to streamline a recently developed synthetic route, explore a dehydrogenation approach to access different photosynthetic tetrapyrroles, and demonstrate...
