U.S.-Hungary Research on Oscillating Chemical Reactions

9322738 Kustin布兰迪斯大学的Kenneth Kustin博士和布达佩斯Eotvos大学的Miklos Orban博士之间的这项美国-匈牙利研究项目的主要目标是研究三个主要领域的振荡化学反应。首先，一些涉及溴离子、甲醛、分子氧以及均相和非均相过渡金属催化反应的体系将被研究，以寻找可能的新的振荡反应。其次，将对高锰酸盐反应和含硫反应等几个振荡系统和相关子系统进行机理研究。最后，将对发生空间图案和化学波的反应进行研究。这些研究将探索旋转模式，磁场对化学波的影响，以及显示模式形成的新化学系统的设计。合并后的结果有望在基础化学动力学方面取得新的进展，并有可能在生物和工业过程中应用。这个化学动力学项目通过使美国和东欧的顶尖专家能够将互补的人才结合在一起，并在相互感兴趣和能力很强的领域汇集研究资源，从而实现了促进科学知识的计划目标。***

9322738 Kustin The primary objective of this U.S.-Hungary research project between Dr. Kenneth Kustin of Brandeis University and Dr. Miklos Orban of Eotvos University, Budapest, is to examine oscillating chemical reactions in three major areas. First, a number of systems involving bromite ion, formaldehyde, molecular oxygen and both homogeneous and heterogeneous transition metal-catalyzed reactions will be studied for possible new oscillating reactions. Second, mechanistic studies will be performed on several oscillatory systems and related subsystems including permanganate reactions and sulfur-containing reactions. Finally, research will be carried out on reactions in which spatial patterns and chemical waves occur. These studies will probe Turning patterns, the effects of magnetic fields on chemical waves and the design of new chemical systems that show pattern formation. The combined results are expected to lead to new advances in basic chemical kinetics and, potentially, to applications in biological and industrial processes. This project in chemical dynamics fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling leading experts in the United States and Eastern Europe to combine complementary talents and pool research resources in areas of strong mutual interest and competence. ***
