This five-year, $616,685 National Science Foundation project grant will fund research at Arizona State University to elucidate the synergistic effects of composition, porosity, and structural rigidity on the mechanics of metallic organic frameworks (MOFs). MOFs are porous hybrid materials consisting of metallic ions connected by organic linkers to form a vast reinforced network with potential for industrial CO2 capture, separation, and storage applications. The grant will support an integrated...
This $350,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research effort between Johns Hopkins University and the University of Massachusetts Lowell. The goal is to design and develop novel metal-organic framework (MOF) catalysts for electrochemical synthesis of commercially valuable organonitrogen compounds like urea, acetamide, and N-methylamines. The project has three key objectives: (1)...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded Clemson University a 3-year, $369,806 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to develop novel electrically conductive two-dimensional metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs). The project aims to promote efficient charge transport in these materials by incorporating alternating electron-rich and electron-deficient stacks, enabling improvements in both in-plane and...
This three-year, $398,984 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemistry will support research into mechanochemical activation carriers and mechanisms. Dr. Silvina Pagola of Old Dominion University will investigate fundamental aspects of mechanochemical reactions and their mechanisms to develop methods for determining activation barriers. Three types of mechanochemical reactions will be studied: the mechanosynthesis of a metal-organic framework, two Diels-Alder...
This $656,061 federal Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, supports a collaborative research effort to develop new nanochemistry synthesis techniques using functional carbene ligands. The University of Virginia, California State University Northridge, and other partners will work to advance the fundamental understanding of how N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands can be used to precisely control the...
This $550,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a research project led by Shuming Chen at Oberlin College. The project aims to develop computational models to better understand and enhance the selectivity of transition metal-catalyzed reactions that can functionalize strong covalent bonds, such as carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen bonds. This research has wide-ranging implications for advancing...
This $200,000 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences), will support a collaborative effort between Morehouse College and Duke University's NSF Center for the Chemistry of Molecularly Optimized Networks (MONET). The primary objectives are to develop new educational offerings in chemistry, establish a broader network of Historically Black College and University (HBCU) researchers conducting...
The University of California, San Diego will develop new classes of solid, tunable catalytic materials for important chemical transformations under a $525,000 National Science Foundation project grant in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). Professor Seth Cohen and his research team will create metal-organic frameworks using phosphorus-derived ligands linked to palladium, rhodium, and iridium metal centers. They will modify these materials to promote cross-coupling and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports a $337,663 research project at the University of Oklahoma from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027. The project aims to develop a revolutionary approach to synthesizing materials and chemicals under high-pressure conditions using porous materials. It proposes leveraging the high pressures observed within adsorbed fluid or solid films on solid substrates as an alternative to traditional,...
This $402,669 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund research by the University of South Florida to develop iron- and copper-based 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 hybrid Mie-resonator nanoparticles, examining how their size, shape, and optical properties impact charge carrier generation,...
