- This federal Project Grant award of $679,820 from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research by Professors Fran?ois Gabba? and Saranya Pullanchery of Texas A&M University. The project will explore the potential of a novel class of tellurium-based compounds as anion transporters, investigating how structural and electronic factors influence their ability to transport anions like chloride and trifluoroacetate across artificial...
This Project Grant award of $480,000 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) to Professor Thanh D. Do at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. The funding supports research to investigate the complexation of cyclic depsipeptides with transition metals and lanthanides, resulting in unique sandwich-like structures that govern metal selectivity and transport. The project employs advanced experimental techniques like ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry, synchrotron-based X-ray spectroscopy, and free-electron laser infrared experiments to structurally characterize these metal-ligand complexes and explore their conformational preferences and reactivity. The research aims to advance the fundamental understanding of metal-ligand recognition and reactivity, enabling the design of new macrocyclic scaffolds for applications in metal separation and catalysis. The award period runs from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028.
