U.S.-Australia Cooperative Research: Matrix Isolation Spectroscopy of Alkyl and Cycloalkylcarbenes

9513227 Platz该奖项资助俄亥俄州立大学化学系的Matthew Platz博士的旅费，使他能够在昆士兰大学化学系与Curt Wentup教授进行为期三个月的合作研究。普拉茨博士将利用这段时间用基质分离光谱技术研究二烷基和环烷基卡宾。研究人员将尝试从低温基质中分离出简单的卡宾，并通过UV-Vis和IR光谱对其进行表征。这项工作将确定简单卡宾的基态多重数。该项目汇集了Platz教授在卡宾反应领域的互补专业知识，使用激光闪光光解、荧光和EPR光谱，以及Wentup教授在基质分离方面的专业知识。

9513227 Platz This award supports the travel costs for Dr. Matthew Platz from the Department of Chemistry at the Ohio State University to enable him to make a three month stay conducting collaborative research with Prof. Curt Wentrup of the Queensland University Department of Chemistry. Dr. Platz will use this period to study dialkyl and cycloalkylcarbenes by the technique of matrix isolation spectroscopy. The investigators will attempt to isolate simple carbenes in cryogenic matrices and to characterize them through UV-Vis and IR spectroscopy. This work will determine the ground state multiplicity of simple carbenes. This projects draws together the complementary expertise of Prof. Platz in the area of carbene reactivity, using laser flash photolysis, fluorescence and EPR spectroscopy, with that of Prof. Wentrup in matrix isolation.
