Award Overview
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry awarded $800,000 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to Stony Brook University, effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2031. This CAREER grant supports fundamental research into mechanism-guided remote multifunctionalization of unsaturated hydrocarbons, led by Dr. Bruch's research team. The project delivers research methodologies and catalytic reaction designs that enable selective production of complex, high-value chemicals from simple hydrocarbon feedstocks through multifunctionalization processes—transformations involving multiple simultaneous bond-breaking and bond-making steps. Research and Educational Deliverables
The core research products include the development of clear design rules and substrate strategies for controlling regioselective multifunctionalization reactions of alkenes, alkynes, and allenes through remote leaving group activation, coupled with detailed mechanistic and kinetic investigations. Complementary to the research outputs, the award supports integrated educational products and services: a summer workshop series providing undergraduate and graduate students with technical training in software and data analysis skills related to organometallic catalysis; and a hybrid workshop-conference for undergraduates focused on science communication training with general and technical audiences. These training initiatives and research outcomes collectively address synthesis challenges for products with pharmaceutical, materials, and energy applications.Federal Grant Award Summary
