Project Grant 2453637
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) is providing a $600,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for a 4-year research project led by Professor Alexander Radosevich. The project aims to develop inexpensive, earth-abundant chemical catalysts capable of enabling novel bond-making and bond-breaking reactions. Specific research areas include using proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) to activate C-H...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry awarded a three-year Project Grant totaling $600,000 to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049). The grant supports research by Dr. Alexander Radosevich and his team to develop new metal-phosphorus complexes as homogeneous catalysts for small molecule conversion chemistry. Specifically, the grant funding will allow Dr. Radosevich's lab to pursue experiments...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry awarded a $366,433 Project Grant to Cornell University to conduct collaborative research on the electronic structure and reactivity of transition metal complexes with Professor Theodore Betley of Harvard University and Professor Kyle Lancaster of Cornell University. The overarching goals of the 3-year project, which began on July 15, 2023, are to explore how metal-ligand compositions and changing oxidation levels alter the physical properties...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $249,218 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to Montclair State University. The grant, awarded on September 15, 2023, will fund a research project led by Professor Nathanael Hirscher and his students that aims to develop new catalysts with increased rates and durability for important chemical reactions relevant to manufacturing processes. The project will combine organic ligand components with nickel...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry awarded a $550,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) for a 3-year project. The objective is to establish light-activated reactions that form transition metal hydride complexes, which are critical for producing fuels and commodity chemicals. The research activities will study the electronic structure and photochemistry of...
- Under a $595,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, Professor Thomas Lectka of Johns Hopkins University will pursue two complementary strategies to selectively modify specific carbon-hydrogen or carbon-carbon bonds within complex molecular structures. The first approach will utilize hydrogen bonding to direct site-selective functionalization reactions, while the second will leverage metal ion binding to deactivate...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $575,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York. The grant supports a 3-year research project led by Professor Gerard Parkin to study the synthesis, structure, and reactivity of alkylperoxide, hydroperoxide, and fluoromethyl compounds of earth-abundant metals like magnesium, calcium, and zinc. This research aims to reduce the chemical industry's...
- This $450,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Cornell University from August 2022 to July 2025 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). Principal Investigator Kyle Lancaster and his team are developing new classes of two- and pseudo-one-coordinate transition metal complexes with applications as catalysts and for data storage technologies. Specifically, the researchers aim to synthesize hetero-leptic transition metal complexes using...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $650,151 Project Grant under its Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to Yale University. The grant, titled "Insights into Alkene Hydrofunctionalization from Mechanistic and Reactivity Studies," supports Professor Patrick Holland's research on developing cobalt catalysts for the efficient transformation of simple chemical feedstocks into more complex molecules. The project aims to improve the mechanistic understanding,...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), awarded a $600,000 project grant to Professor Neil C. Tomson of the University of Pennsylvania. The 3-year project, starting on September 1, 2025, aims to study how iron-based catalysts can selectively activate and functionalize carbon-carbon sigma bonds under mild conditions. This research will lay the groundwork for future technologies that can produce pharmaceuticals, plastics, and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $300,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) to Swarthmore College for the project "Synthesis and Characterization of Group 13 Metal Complexes Designed for the Metal-Ligand Cooperative Activation of O-H, N-H, and C-H Bonds". This 3-year research project, led by Professor Christopher Graves, aims to develop new Group 13 metal complexes with non-innocent ligands that can participate in metal-ligand cooperative bond-making and -breaking of small molecules. The research seeks to provide a fundamental understanding of this metal-ligand cooperative (MLC) chemistry and explore the ability of these complexes to activate a broad range of H-X (X = O, N, C) bonds, which is critical for the synthesis of fine and commodity chemicals. The grant will support specialized training of undergraduate students in the synthesis, characterization, and understanding of these inorganic coordination complexes.
