| Abstract | With the support of the Chemical Catalysis program in the Division of Chemistry, Professor Alexander Miller of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is studying the ability of ions to control the outcomes of catalytic organic transformations of alkenes and alkynes. The research is inspired by Nature’s enzyme catalysts, which can respond to stimuli to change their structure and function. Synthetic cation-responsive catalysts will be prepared, enabling applications in switchable and tuna |
