An Expansion of the Purdue Chemistry Departmental Laser Facility: A Versatile Raman/Fluorescence Instrument and Wavelength Extension in the Ultraviolet

这份来自化学研究仪器和设施项目的奖励将帮助普渡大学化学系购买拉曼/荧光仪器。这种新的仪器将加强在以下几个领域的研究，包括：摩擦条件下自由基反应动力学的泵-探针研究，无机电子转移反应中间体的时间分辨拉曼光谱，卟啉- dna复合物的瞬态拉曼研究，以及波导拉曼光谱作为分子掺杂和功能化聚合物薄膜在电晕极化期间和之后的取向顺序探针。该光谱仪还将用于收集超音速喷气机中分子簇的分散荧光光谱，以及用于催化应用的沸石锚定双金属配合物的拉曼研究。拉曼激光光谱仪可以提供有关溶液和表面分子结构、分子相互作用和分子动力学的重要信息。这类信息对于基本了解化学反应是必要的。

9313345 Zwier This award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities Program will assist the Department of Chemistry at Purdue University in the purchase of a Raman/fluorescence instrument. This new instrumentation will enhance the research in a number of areas including the following: Pump-probe studies of radical reaction dynamics under tribological conditions, time-resolved Raman spectroscopy of intermediates in inorganic electron transfer reactions, transient Raman studies of porphyrin-DNA exciplexes, and waveguide Raman spectroscopy as a probe of orientational order during and after corona poling of molecularly doped and functionalized polymer films. The spectrometer will also be used to collect dispersed fluorescence spectra of molecular clusters in a supersonic jet and for Raman studies of zeolite anchored bimetallic complexes for catalytic applications. %%% A Raman laser spectrometer can provide important information about molecular structure, molecular interactions and molecular dynamics in solution and on surfaces. This sort of information is necessary for a basic understanding of chemical reactions.
