The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry awarded a $570,000 Project Grant to Yale University under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The grant supports the "Design of Lewis Acid Tethered Chain-End Capping Agents for Stereocontrolled Radical Polymerization" research project led by Dr. Mingjiang Zhong. The project aims to develop innovative catalytic systems to achieve stereocontrolled radical polymerization, which can produce polymeric materials with improved physical properties compared to traditional methods. Key research activities include designing reversible radical deactivators coupled with metallic Lewis acids to precisely control interactions and enable stereocontrolled radical propagation. This work seeks to expand the substrate scope, reduce catalyst loading, improve control and livingness, and enable compatibility with aqueous reaction media for radical polymerization. The grant also supports educational initiatives to promote student involvement from underrepresented groups in chemistry. The project period runs from Aug 1, 2024 to Jul 31, 2027.
