Matt Whited awarded research grant from American Chemical Society
Whited is chair and professor of chemistry at Carleton.
Matt Whited, chair and professor of chemistry, has been awarded an Undergraduate Research grant from the American Chemical Society’s (ACS) Petroleum Research Fund (PRF) for his work developing scaffolds for cooperative small molecule activation using systems with metal-tetrylene bonds. This grant project will build on the Whited group’s previous success with silicon systems to develop new strategies for sustainable catalysis using earth-abundant and non-toxic metals and includes support for six Student Research Partnerships over three summers.
