Description

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Fast Track Small Business Technology Transfer study between Materia, Inc. in Pasadena, CA and the University of Kansas intends to build upon successes of our current Phase II Fast Track STTR grant (1R42GM097896-03)which ends on March 30, 2014. Preliminary results serve as a solid foundation for this Fast Track submission entitled Development of Recyclable Magnetic Co/C Hybrid ROMP Ligands/Reagents/Scavengers . This proposal aims to develop, optimize and scale-up recyclable magnetic Co/C hybrid ROMP ligands/reagents/scavengers and streamline the process for their commercialization. More specifically, Phase I will focus on two key areas: namely, (1) the development and generation of multi-gram quantities of five recyclable, magnetic, high-load Co/C hybrid ROMP ligands/reagents/scavengers utilizing surface-initiated ROM polymerization, where the Phase I Milestone Goal is the synthesis and multi-gram scale-up of five reagents, namely Co/C-OTPP, Co/C-OOAS, Co/C-OPC,
