The goal is to expand the range of chemical reactions and synthetic transformations that can be efficiently performed using readily available starting materials, meeting a...
This $770,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program supports a comprehensive research initiative on the fundamental properties of singly dispersed metal-atom catalysts. Led by principal investigators from the University of Central Florida, University of California Riverside, and Brewton Parker College, the project aims to provide a deeper understanding of factors controlling the activity and selectivity of these catalysts in...
This $600,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports research at Northwestern University to develop new atom-efficient catalytic transformations using earth-abundant metals. Professor Tobin Marks and his research group will discover, understand, and optimize f-element and d(0)-transition metal catalysts for three types of critical organic reactions, with the goal of making catalytic...
Through a $575,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) award, Cornell University will investigate ways of utilizing more abundant 1st row transition metals as alternatives to expensive precious metals commonly used in catalytic chemistry. The primary objective is to develop methods for modifying 1st row transition metal compounds with ligands to provide the chemical reactivity and covalency typically associated with 2nd and 3rd row transition...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides $575,000 in funding from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027 to support a collaborative research project on nickel-catalyzed organic reactions. Professors Keary Engle of Scripps Research Institute and Peng Liu of the University of Pittsburgh are leading the project, which aims to develop new chemical reactions to streamline the synthesis of valuable compounds,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, awarded a $600,000 Project Grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to study the design and application of highly reactive redox-active organophosphorus catalysts. Under this 4-year award beginning January 1, 2025, Professor Alexander Radosevich of MIT, in collaboration with Dr. Sami Lakhdar of the University of Toulouse in France, will research new molecular constructs...
This $525,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will fund research at Boston College on metalloradical catalysis for selective radical reactions from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025. Professor Peter Zhang and his team will develop new catalytic systems using earth-abundant transition metals like cobalt to mediate one-electron radical reactions as a more sustainable alternative to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $575,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York. The grant supports a 3-year research project led by Professor Gerard Parkin to study the synthesis, structure, and reactivity of alkylperoxide, hydroperoxide, and fluoromethyl compounds of earth-abundant metals like magnesium, calcium, and zinc. This research aims to reduce the chemical industry's...
This $391,121 National Science Foundation project grant supports collaborative research between Marquette University and the Colorado School of Mines under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The three-year award will fund mechanistic studies of iron-type nitrile hydration catalysts through a combination of experimental and computational approaches. Researchers will employ kinetic, spectroscopic, biochemical, computational, and X-ray crystallographic methods to detect...
