Acquisition of a Time-Resolved Step Scan Fourier Transform Spectrometer

在化学研究仪器和设施（CRIF）计划的支持下，宾夕法尼亚大学化学系将获得一台时间分辨、步进扫描傅里叶变换光谱仪。 该仪器将支持若干领域的研究，包括a）金属表面吸附和反应动力学研究; B）与生物学有关的电子转移反应动力学; c）沸石分子大小空腔中的反应途径。 傅里叶变换光谱技术在学术和工业研究中的普遍有效性已经得到了牢固的确立。 许多高级光谱学课程现在通常包括FT光谱学的教学。 时间分辨能力是FT光谱学最近最重要的发展之一，正在迅速探索各种研究。 最近的应用包括生物，聚合物和环境研究。 这些研究将打开时间分辨傅立叶变换光谱在未开发领域的应用，如表面科学，沸石化学和生物无机化学。

With support from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) Program, the Department of Chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania will acquire a time-resolved, step-scan Fourier-transform spectrometer. This instrument will support research in a number of areas, including a) studies on adsorption and reaction kinetics on metal surfaces; b) dynamics of biologically relevant electron transfer reactions; and c) reaction pathways in molecular size cavities of zeolites. The general effectiveness of Fourier transform spectroscopic techniques in academic and industrial research has been firmly established. Many advanced spectroscopic courses now routinely include the teaching of FT spectroscopy. The time-resolved capability is one of the most important recent developments in FT spectroscopy that is rapidly being explored for all kinds of research. Recent applications include biological, polymer, and environmental studies. These studies will open up the application of time-resolved FT spectroscopy in unexplored areas such as surface science, zeolite chemistry and bioinorganic chemistry.
