This Project Grant award of $258,403 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research led by Dr. Carsten Milsmann of West Virginia University to develop design principles for earth-abundant metal complexes, specifically iron and cobalt, that can replace precious metals in carbene transfer catalysis. The research aims to study the electronic structures and reactivities of four-coordinate iron- and cobalt-carbene complexes as...
This Project Grant award of $620,521.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry was provided to Professor T. Brent Gunnoe of the University of Virginia to study the development of new catalysts for hydrocarbon functionalization. The research aims to enable more direct and energy-efficient conversion of chemicals derived from natural gas and petroleum into higher value products. Specifically, the project will focus on: 1) understanding the impact of capping arene...
This Project Grant award, totaling $450,000, was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) to Professor Yiming Wang at the University of Pittsburgh. The funding supports the development of catalysts based on iridium for the selective preparation of chemical compounds with well-defined configurations, using alkynes as starting materials. Key product deliverables include the synthesis...
This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports Professor Qiu Wang of Duke University in developing new catalytic methods to transform readily available cyclopropanes into highly functionalized organic products. The $600,000 award, effective from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2028, focuses on advancing strategies in copper catalysis, photocatalysis, and electrochemistry to promote regio- and...
This $350,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research effort between Johns Hopkins University and the University of Massachusetts Lowell. The goal is to design and develop novel metal-organic framework (MOF) catalysts for electrochemical synthesis of commercially valuable organonitrogen compounds like urea, acetamide, and N-methylamines. The project has three key objectives: (1)...
This Project Grant award, titled "CAREER: RUTHENIUM-CATALYZED STEREOSELECTIVE AND SITE-SELECTIVE FUNCTIONALIZATION OF CARBON-HYDROGEN BOND," is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through its Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The award provides $416,368 to Professor Xin Cui at Mississippi State University to develop new methods for the stereoselective and site-selective functionalization of carbon-hydrogen bonds using ruthenium-based catalysts. The...
The University of Montana was awarded a $475k Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) for the period of July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2024. The grant funds research on HIGH-VALENT NON-OXO-METAL COMPLEXES OF LATE TRANSITION METALS FOR SP3 C?H BOND ACTIVATION, which aims to advance understanding of major problems in chemistry through increasing the store of scientific knowledge on metal complexes...
