The National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry awarded the University of Oklahoma $599,996 on August 15, 2026, to investigate the chemical reactivity of metalloporphyrin nitrosyls and related compounds under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). Professor George Richter-Addo and his research group in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry will determine the structural and electronic factors that promote formation of carbon-nitrogen bonds mediated by heme and metalloporphyrin centers. The project focuses on insertion of nitric oxide into metal-carbon bonds of metalloporphyrins containing Group 8 and 9 transition metals, with emphasis on first-row metals for biological relevance and second-row metals for non-biological chemical applications. Research will combine synthesis and reactivity studies—including solution-phase reactions and crystal-gas reactions monitored by spectroscopy—with density functional theoretical calculations to unravel reaction mechanisms. The work will isolate and characterize heme-RNO products from solution and probe reactions through collaborations that provide theoretical support. The project will provide educational and research training to graduate and undergraduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Performance occurs in Norman, Oklahoma. The period of performance extends from the award date through July 31, 2029. This is a Project Grant, an assistance type providing project-based funding for time-limited research initiatives.
