Acquisition and Enhancement of Instrumentation for Vibrational Spectroscopic Studies

来自学术研究基础设施计划的这一奖项将帮助德克萨斯A M大学化学系获得升级Bomen DA 3 -002光谱仪，Bomen DA 8 -002的升级和组件，以及IBM RS6000/550计算机。 支持的研究活动包括：（1）非刚性分子的势能面;（2）弱结合复合物瞬态物种和化学反应的旋转振动分辨FTIR超声射流光谱;（3）根据红外光谱数据的分子建模。 可调谐红外光谱仪可以提供有关化学反应性的重要信息。 它的使用可能使我们对反应性和非反应性分子性质的理解取得突破。

This award from the Academic Research Infrastructure Program will help the Department of Chemistry at Texas A&M University acquire upgrade Bomen DA3-002 Spectrometer, upgrade and components for Bomen DA8-002, and IBM RS6000/550 computer. The research activity to be supported includes: (1) Potential Energy Surfaces of Non-Rigid Molecules; (2) Rovibrationally Resolved FTIR Supersonic Jet Spectroscopy of Weakly Bound Complexes Transient Species and Chemical Reactions; (3) Molecular Modeling from Infrared Spectroscopic Data. A tunable infrared spectrometer can provide important information about chemical reactivity. Its use may enable breakthroughs in our understanding of the properties of reactive and nonreactive molecules.
