The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry awarded a $550,000 Project Grant to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to study highly electron-deficient carbon, boron and silicon compounds. The goal of this 3-year research project, which falls under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), is to isolate and characterize compounds containing main group elements with as few as 4 or 5 valence electrons. This builds on prior work demonstrating that...
This $575,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will fund research at the University of California, San Diego to synthesize and study the reactivity of unusual main group elements stabilized by transition metal isocyanide complexes, from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026. Specifically, Professor Joshua S. Figueroa will manipulate boron monofluoride and diphosphorus molecules, which are...
This Project Grant award of $600,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry was granted to Texas A&M University on July 15, 2025. The award supports fundamental research into the reactivity and applications of transition metal complexes containing boron-metal bonds, known as "boryl-centered pincer complexes." The key objectives of this 3-year project are to: Develop a deeper understanding of the unique reactivity and bond-forming/breaking mechanisms of...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $590,000 Project Grant under its Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley).
