This federal Project Grant award from the Division of Chemistry of the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) is providing $240,000 to support a research project led by Professors David Stuart and Theresa McCormick at Portland State University. The project aims to study the properties and reactivity of a class of chemical compounds called aryl "onium" species, which are used as versatile building blocks for synthesizing molecules with aromatic rings, such as those used in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The research will focus on uncovering the fundamental mechanisms underlying the formation and reactivity of these aryl "onium" compounds, with the goal of enabling their more effective use in synthetic chemistry applications. The project will provide valuable training opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students, contributing to the development of the next generation of scientists.
