- This three-year, $481,116 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into size-selective catalysis using earth-abundant metals and specially designed macrocyclic ligand families. Funded under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the work builds on previous studies demonstrating the potential of macrocyclic N-heterocyclic carbene ligands for size-selective catalysis. Professor Steven T. Diver of the University at Buffalo will further develop this...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $600,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to Professor Bing Gong at the State University of New York at Buffalo. The grant funds a 3-year project from July 2025 to June 2028 to study the catalytic behavior of synthetic "hollow helices" - slinky-like folding molecular chains with a sub-nanometer diameter inner void. The research aims to understand how these porous foldamers can function as...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Chemical Catalysis program awarded a $560,760 project grant to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) to study dearomatization reactions catalyzed by transition metal complexes derived from earth-abundant metals such as copper, iron, and nickel. This collaborative research project with the Université Grenoble Alpes in France will advance the understanding of how metal-ligand complex characteristics interface with different reagent...
- This federal Project Grant award of $600,000.00 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry through the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049). The award will support a project led by Professor Diao of New York University (NYU) to study the design of new bidentate chiral nitrogen-based ligands for use in asymmetric catalysis. This research aims to develop more efficient and environmentally-friendly methods for synthesizing small molecule...
