The...
- This $575,000 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 the University of California, San Diego to synthesize and study the reactivity of unusual main group elements stabilized by transition metal isocyanide complexes, from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026. Specifically, Professor Joshua S. Figueroa will manipulate boron monofluoride and diphosphorus molecules, which are...
- Brown University was awarded a three-year, $270,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant will support collaborative research on carbene-containing ligands on copper and copper nitride nanocubes to develop stable and selective electrolysis catalysts for carbon dioxide reduction. As part of the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program's goals, this research aims to advance scientific...
- Through a Project Grant award of $488,035 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, Purdue University is investigating ultrafast electronic and structural dynamics in metal chalcogenide nanoclusters and their assembled superatomic materials. The principal investigator, Hanzhe Liu, is using ultrashort extreme ultraviolet light pulses to observe real-time electronic and atomic motions within these superatomic solids. This technique...
- This $300,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) grant under the Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program will enable Brown University to conduct research on controlling and visualizing the interactions of electrons in atomically-thin materials with sub-nanometer-to-nanometer accuracy. The project aims to leverage Brown's expertise in molecular design and 2D device fabrication, along with the advanced scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS) facility at Brookhaven National...
- This $485,838 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a research team led by Professor Brian H. Clowers of Washington State University (WSU) in developing a high-performance analytical platform to explore chemical structure and behavior in the gas phase. The project aims to advance chemical separations through the use of multimodal ion chemistry and tandem ion mobility spectrometry...
- The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program awarded a $600,000 Project Grant to Texas A&M University to study the development of complexes of late transition metals that contain boron-metal bonds, and the exploitation of the boron-metal synergy in selective transformations of nitrogen-containing organic molecules. The project aims to create new understanding of the overall reactivity and the role of Lewis-acidic boryl ligands in bond-breaking and...
This $650,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research by Professor Lai-Sheng Wang and his team at Brown University to investigate the electronic structure and chemical bonding of cryogenically-cooled boron and metal-boride nanoclusters. The research aims to provide fundamental insights into boron chemistry and chemical bonding, with the potential for discovering novel boron-based nanomaterials. To achieve this, the team has developed specialized experimental apparatuses for photoelectron spectroscopy and imaging techniques, which will be used in conjunction with theoretical calculations. The project's outcomes will be integrated into the teaching of physical chemistry and will provide training opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students in advanced instrumentation design and computational chemistry. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
