This $249,971 Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The grant supports a project led by Professor Hesari and students at the State University of New York at Oswego to study the development of atomically precise metal nanoclusters (APMNCs) approximately 1-2 nm in size. The researchers will design and synthesize functionalized organothiol ligands to promote the hybridization and controlled assembly of these APMNCs, which have potential applications as catalysts, photocatalysts, and photoelectrocatalysts. The project aims to provide new insights into the fundamental properties of self-assembled APMNC nanostructures through various characterization techniques, including single-crystal X-ray crystallography, NMR, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and electrochemistry, as well as computational modeling. The award period runs from Sep 1, 2025 to Aug 31, 2027.
