This POWRE award by the Chemistry Division will extend a sabbatical leave for Dr. Helen Leung from her duties at Mount Holyoke College to spend a year in the Laboratory of Dr. Marsha Lester at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Leung will extend her work on weakly bound unreactive complexes to reactive complexes by learning to analyze the reaction dynamics of the latter class of materials, a field in which Dr. Lester is a leading researcher. She and Dr. Lester will establish a continuing collaboration in which Dr. Leung will apply the high sensitivity and high resolution of her Fourier Transform microwave spectrometers to the determination of geometry and energetics of reactive complexes thereby complementing Dr. Lester's laser studies. Dr. Lester will assist in the development and testing of a new source of the complexes which Dr. Leung will assemble and test in Dr. Lester's lab and take back to Mount Holyoke. Additional funds are awarded for development of this source as it is essential to sustaining the collaboration and developing a research program in reactive complexes at Mount Holyoke.Dr. Leung will also use her time at Penn to discuss ways of increasing the involvement of Mount Holyoke undergraduates in research and of presenting the results of her research to undergraduates through the regular curriculum.

获化学部颁发的POWRE奖将延长梁海伦博士在霍利奥克山学院工作的休假，让她在宾夕法尼亚大学玛莎·莱斯特博士的实验室工作一年。梁博士将通过学习分析后一类材料的反应动力学，将她在弱结合非反应性复合物方面的工作扩展到反应性复合物，莱斯特博士是这一领域的主要研究人员。她和Lester博士将建立一个持续的合作关系，梁博士将利用她的傅里叶变换微波光谱仪的高灵敏度和高分辨率来确定反应复合物的几何和能量，从而补充Lester博士的激光研究。莱斯特博士将协助开发和测试一种新的复合物来源，梁博士将在莱斯特博士的实验室组装和测试，并带回霍利奥克山。此外，梁博士亦会利用在宾大的时间，讨论如何增加霍利奥克山大学生参与研究的机会，以及如何透过常规课程向大学生介绍她的研究成果。
