This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides $574,995 to Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, CA to study a new class of base metal catalysts for alkene functionalization reactions. The research, led by Professor Ryan Shenvi, aims to develop catalysts using earth-abundant metals like iron to replace precious metal catalysts in chemical processes. This could reduce the environmental and economic...
Under a $630,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, Professor Abigail G. Doyle at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) is studying chemical reactions that use visible light as an energy source to transform readily available starting materials into more valuable products. The key research objectives include developing synthetic reactions to access high-energy, polar reactive intermediates using...
The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) received a $500,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry to support research titled "(RADIO)FLUORINATION AND OTHER NUCLEOPHILIC FUNCTIONALIZATIONS ENABLED BY PHOTOCATALYTIC RADICAL-POLAR CROSSOVER."
