High Resolution Spectroscopic Characterization of Weak Complexes

在实验物理化学计划的支持下，密歇根大学的罗伯特·L·库兹科夫斯基正在继续他在弱络合物的傅立叶变换微波光谱领域的研究。他将研究a)二氧化硫络合物、b)环丙烷络合物、c)强酸络合物、d)金属络合物和e)三分子络合物的结构和动力学。使用斯通或Muenter提供的模型进行计算是为了进行比较，这将产生非常准确的倾斜和扭转角度。上述研究的结果将为分子间弱结合力的性质和分子间势函数提供基本信息。这些结果将有助于测试模型和发展理论，这些理论可以指导化学家如何相互作用，生长成更大的团簇，并将自己排列在凝聚相中。这对广泛的重要现象具有潜在的影响，从生物化学应用，如药物设计和物种跨膜运输，到物理过程，如云形成、酸雨现象和底物-催化剂相互作用。

With support from the Experimental Physical Chemistry Program, Robert L. Kuczkowski of The University of Michigan is continuing his research in the area of fourier-transform microwave spectroscopy of weak complexes. He will investigate the structure and dynamics of a) sulfur dioxide complexes, b) cyclopropane complexes, c) complexes involving strong acids, d) metal complexes, and e) termolecular complexes. Calculations using models provided by Stone or Muenter will be performed for comparison purposes, which will yield highly accurate tilt and torsional angles. Results from the above studies will provide fundamental information on the nature of weak binding forces between molecules and on intermolecular potential functions. Such results will help to test models and develop theories which can guide chemists on how compounds interact, grow into larger clusters, and arrange themselves in condensed phases. This has potential implications for a wide spectrum of important phenomena ranging from biochemical applications such as drug design and transport of species across membranes, to physical processes such as cloud formation, acid rain phenomena and substrate-catalyst interactions.
