Under a $595,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, Professor Thomas Lectka of Johns Hopkins University will pursue two complementary strategies to selectively modify specific carbon-hydrogen or carbon-carbon bonds within complex molecular structures. The first approach will utilize hydrogen bonding to direct site-selective functionalization reactions, while the second will leverage metal ion binding to deactivate...
This $309,414 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program, supports research at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNC-G) to develop a new class of photocatalysts that can transform cheap, unreactive raw materials into value-added chemicals. The goal is to control the photochemical process and reaction selectivity by modulating the energy of the light...
