The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant of $575,457 on August 1, 2024 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of Montana for a research project titled "Elucidating the Assembly of Higher-Order Anion Foldamers: The Influence of Charge, Sterics and the HBExB." The project, led by Dr. Orion Berryman and his research group, aims to explore new ways to control the shape and properties of extended molecules that can adopt helical structures with defined pores. The research seeks to understand how changes in charge state, molecular attachments, and functional groups influence the helical assembly of these foldamer molecules. The goal is to produce water-soluble molecules that can bind to negatively charged species, with potential applications in sensing, separation science, and environmental remediation. In addition to the research, the project will provide research training for graduate and undergraduate students, maintain collaborations with a local high school and science museum, and develop new methods for incorporating crystallography into high school science curricula.
