About this opportunity
The Chemical Synthesis (SYN) Program supports experimental research on the development of new and efficient synthesis methodologies and on the synthesis of challenging molecular targets. Research in this program will generate fundamental new knowledge and understanding of chemical synthesis at the molecular level, and enable new discoveries and the development of transformative technologies in related fields. With a focus on their synthesis, targets include (but are not limited to): novel organic (including natural products and biomolecules), organometallic, coordination, and inorganic complexes with the potential to display unique properties, as well as new chemical compounds and structures with the potential to provide pathways to discover and elucidate novel phenomena.
