With the support of the Chemical Catalysis program in the Division of Chemistry, Professor Wesley Bernskoetter of the University of Missouri-Columbia is studying new applications for carbon dioxide in the production of commercial chemicals. A large portion of commercial chemicals used to produce consumer goods, including plastics, synthetic fibers, and medicines are derived from petrochemical sources. This project will develop new catalytic processes that combine abundant and renewable carbon dioxide resources with other reagents to provide alternative routes to valuable chemicals. The project aims to identify which features in catalyst structures control reaction selectivity in order to minimize the formation of undesired byproducts. Effective control of catalyst selectivity enables more efficient chemical synthesis and new technologies in sustainable chemical production. This project will provide practical training to a new generation of scientists, including those from historically underrepresented groups in the chemical sciences. Team members aim to increase recognition of diverse petrochemical-derived products in society and increase awareness of the need to develop more sustainable routes to consumer goods. The project partners with the University of Missouri Stevens Scholars and related programs to broaden the participation of underrepresented groups in chemistry and develop future leaders in science.Under this award, Professor Wesley Bernskoetter and his team at the University of Missouri-Columbia are studying new catalysts for valorizing carbon dioxide via coupling with ethylene. The project seeks to couple various stoichiometric combinations of carbon dioxide and ethylene to produce a range of mono- and dicarboxylate small molecules, such as acrylates, methylmalonates, succinates and adipates. These are chemicals with significant commercial value; through mechanistic studies the project seeks to establish pathways to control the selective production of carboxylate feedstocks. These studies are fundamental but have elements of use-inspired research. Thus, if successful, this research will contribute to the technology required to advance a range of current research in sustainable chemical production, including the production of fuels from CO2 and the incorporation of CO2 into renewably sourced polymers.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

在化学催化计划的支持下，密苏里州哥伦比亚大学卫斯理·伯恩斯科特教授正在研究二氧化碳在商业化学品生产中的新应用。 大部分商业化学物质用于生产消费品，包括塑料，合成纤维和药物，源自石化来源。 该项目将开发新的催化过程，这些过程将丰富和可再生的二氧化碳资源与其他试剂相结合，以提供有价值的化学物质的替代路线。该项目旨在确定催化剂结构中的哪些特征控制反应选择性，以最大程度地减少不希望的副产物的形成。 催化剂选择性的有效控制能够在可持续化学生产中更有效的化学合成和新技术。该项目将为新一代科学家提供实践培训，包括化学科学中历史上代表性不足的群体的科学家。 团队成员的目标是提高人们对社会中多种石化衍生产品的认识，并提高人们对开发更可持续的消费品途径的认识。该项目与密苏里大学史蒂文斯大学的学者及相关计划合作，以扩大代表性不足的团体在化学中的参与并培养未来的领导者。符合该奖项，韦斯利·伯恩斯科特（Wesley Bernskoetter）教授及其团队在密苏里州 - 哥伦比亚大学（University of Missouri-Columbia）的团队中，正在研究通过COUPLINDETELLENS cOUPLINGEREN的新催化剂。 该项目旨在促进二氧化碳和乙烯的各种化学计量组合，以产生一系列的单羧酸盐小分子，例如丙烯酸酯，甲基丙二甲酸酯，琥珀酸酯和脂肪。 这些是具有显着商业价值的化学品；通过机械研究，该项目旨在建立控制羧酸盐原料的选择性生产的途径。 这些研究是基本的，但具有采用使用启发的研究的要素。 因此，如果成功的话，这项研究将有助于推进一系列可持续化学生产研究所需的技术，包括从CO2中生产燃料以及将CO2掺入重新提供的聚合物中。这项奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过评估该基金会的知识分子优点和广泛的影响来评估NSF的法定任务。
