U.S.-German Cooperative Research: Energy and Charge Transfer with Functionalized Phenols -- Time-Resolved Photochemical and Radiation Chemical Experiments

该合作研究项目（“功能化苯酚的能量和电荷转移-时间分辨光化学和辐射化学实验”）旨在启动圣母大学辐射实验室（NDRL）和莱比锡大学时间分辨光谱跨学科研究小组（IAG）之间的合作。到目前为止，这两个实验室一直在独立使用两种最强大的时间分辨光谱技术（即脉冲辐射分解和闪光光解），但使用不同的检测方法：IAG的傅里叶变换电子顺磁共振和NRDL的拉曼光谱和电导率测量。独特的方法与IAG在立体受阻酚领域的杰出专业知识以及NDRL在电荷和能量转移过程方面的强大背景相结合，有望在一类重要化合物的自由基相关化学方面取得重大进展。

The cooperative research program (`Energy and Charge Transfer with Functionalized Phenols-Time-Resolved Photochemical and Radiation Chemical Experiments`) is intended to initiate a collaboration between the Notre Dame Radiation Laboratory (NDRL) and the Interdisciplinary Research Group on Time Resolved Spectroscopy (IAG) at the University of Leipzig. Until now, the two laboratories had been independently using two of the most powerful time-resolved spectroscopic techniques (viz., pulse radiolysis and flash photolysis), but with different detection methods: Fourier Transformed Electron Paramagnetic Resonance at IAG and Raman spectroscopy and conductivity measurements at NRDL. The combination of the unique methodologies along with the IAG's outstanding expertise in the field of sterically hindered phenols and the NDRL's strong background in charge and energy transfer processes promises a significant advancement in the free-radical related chemistry of an important class of chemical compounds.
