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...
This $600,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will support research at the University of Michigan and Trinity University to investigate the structural and electronic properties of high-valent cobalt, nickel, and copper-oxo complexes. The project aims to improve understanding of how metal-oxo versus metal-oxyl character impacts the stability and reactivity of these unstable, yet potentially useful,...
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...
The National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry awarded a $525,000 Project Grant to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania to support research into the activation and functionalization of volatile alkanes under mild conditions with earth-abundant base metals.
