This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides $390,000 in funding to the University of Notre Dame and the University of Tennessee for a collaborative research project. The goal is to rationally design new N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands to improve the robustness and expand the applicability of NHC-functionalized noble metal nanoparticles. The researchers will perform isotope labeling experiments to study NHC transfer and exchange dynamics on nanoparticle surfaces, synthesize new macrocyclic and bidentate NHC ligands to enhance the electrochemical and chemical resistance of gold nanoparticles, and design NHC ligands with chemically addressable functional groups to stabilize gold nanoparticles in aqueous and organic environments. This work aims to advance the fundamental scientific understanding and practical applications of NHC-capped nanoparticles in areas such as electrocatalysis, sensing, and environmental technologies. The award period runs from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027.
