This $297,885 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona to study earth-abundant nickel catalysts for installing fluorine onto molecules. The goal is to determine how the structure of the nickel catalyst affects reactivity with carbon-fluorine and sulfur-fluorine bonds, and the resulting catalytic performance. This work involves advanced organometallic, organic, and inorganic research training for students, as well as paid summer research positions, development of tutorial videos, and hosting diverse seminar speakers to broaden participation in science and provide workforce training at the university. The project period runs from Sep 1, 2024 to Aug 31, 2027. No subawards are planned under this grant.
