The National Science Foundation awarded a $525,000 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Minnesota under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025. The funding will support research using the hexadehydro-Diels-Alder reaction to develop new methods for synthesizing structurally complex polycyclic aromatic compounds with applications in optoelectronic devices. Principal Investigator Professor Thomas Hoye and his...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $575,000 project grant under its Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) program to the University of Wisconsin-Madison to study the use of light in organic synthesis. Under this 3-year award effective July 1, 2024, Professor Tehshik Yoon and his team will design novel photocatalysts that can interact directly with small molecules to control how they react and form more complex products. The research aims to transform discovery in pharmaceutical...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) provides $600,000 to the University of Rochester to study anomalous versions of well-understood chemical reactions. The 3-year project (7/1/2025 - 6/30/2028) will focus on exploring the boundaries between electrocyclic and ionic reactivity, developing higher-order cationic electrocyclizations, and investigating nonlinear polyene cyclizations to synthesize complex...
Professor Kutateladze of the University of Denver will use a $575,000 National Science Foundation Project Grant from the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to further develop photoassisted approaches for the synthesis of complex heterocyclic molecules with potentially useful therapeutic properties. Over a three-year period from September 2023 through August 2026, his research aims to expand the synthetic photochemistry toolbox, specifically excited state intramolecular...
This $650,000 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry supports the research of Dr. Raphael Florentino Ribeiro of Emory University. The award, effective December 1, 2023 through November 30, 2028, aims to develop new theoretical approaches and computational methods for investigating chemical phenomena in microenvironments that confine light and interact strongly with matter. The research will computationally explore strategies to achieve...
Professor Alison J. Frontier of the University of Rochester will use a $525,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program to develop three new synthetic organic chemistry methods. The grant, awarded from July 2022 to June 2025, will support research exploring ambiguous electrocyclic reactions at the boundaries of established paradigms. This includes expanding the scope of pentannulation reactions, investigating higher-order cationic...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry awarded a $539,999 Project Grant to the University of Houston under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to carry out computational quantum chemistry research. The purpose of the research is to explore, test, and validate molecular-level design principles for functional carbon-rich materials, such as light-responsive polymers, nanotubes, and organic electronics. The expected outcomes include the development of...
